JayMac Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 There is something so amateurish about a red shell and a red facemask that I can't really put my finger on. Maybe it is that I have seen a good handful of college teams do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not so far away, and if they were going to go ahead on that schedule the merchandise would already be well in the pipeline. Not sure it makes sense that they hit the pause button because of the one-shell rule either. The Packers have had good helmets for most of their history. Unless they’re going with one of the short-lived 1950s uniforms and wearing a white or metallic gold helmet, but that would seem an odd choice. I'm actually hoping to see one of those '50s sets. I know they were a pretty bad team most of that time, but it would be refreshing to not see a version of the ugly blue/yellow/tan for once.

It could be that they wanted to make an 'event' out of debuting the throwbacks, and maybe have other types of events around town and make a big thing out of it, so unveiling them online at a time where they can't do whatever else they may have had plans just wasn't worth it to them.

That might be true, but doesn't seem to be a reason to cancel the whole jersey for a year. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

It also could be a shortened season. If it's a 12 or 14 game season, they may not have wanted to worry about working in any alts. Worst case, the season doesn't happen at all, and then they debuted this uni for no reason, and won't be able to recapture that moment.

The team was aware enough to skip Color Rush (as much as the NFL would let them), shame that they don't follow through. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

WSU151 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I was hoping for a 60s era throwback, which I think is better look than the current unis. And if was that, sales would be through the roof, full season, short season, or no season. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

A lot of people are dealing with lost income now, so it's not a sure thing that they'd make what they originally projected. This is all speculation, of course. We may never know the answer.

They only need to reach into the closet for their ideal road jerseys. The stripes look so good on the Color Rush pants, boggles my mind that the Packers refuse to do this with the road white jerseys.

This is all speculation, of course. We may never know the answer. Of course. We also don't know if the Packers believe Goodell's insistence that the NFL season will be unaffected. They may have already written off the year. If we ever do find out, it won't be for years. Somebody will make an offhand comment in an interview, like when Malcolm Glazer slipped up and accidentally told us about the 5 year rule. Although I do know some people who work for professional teams, and they've all said that their teams are focused on merchandising now more than ever, to keep some income flowing in.

I understand the preference for green facemask, although I don't share it. But why would you make the collar one color? That would imbalance the sleeves, and has no precedent in Packers history.
