hormone Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I imagine the ‘53 packers were sans face mask or close to it, so why not just keep the green ones on? Heck, I think they left green ones for one of the navy years. If they were gray masked, then my bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, I think they left green ones for one of the navy years. If they were gray masked, then my bad. this isn’t a 1953 uniform. It’s a 1950 uniform. Which was originally worn with leather helmets, no facemasks. But when the Packers did adopt facemasks, they wore gray for the first quarter-century. So any throwbacks from before 1980 really should use gray. 1 The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilSox Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 After seeing the surprisingly (to me) overwhelmingly positive response to these from casual fans... or at least fans who aren't obsessive uni nerds... I may have to soften my stance on these. They aren't offensive to the eye (as much as some of us distaste monochrome) and are on brand for the Packers. So maybe I shouldn't be so critical. But damn... has the bar really been set this low? Part of me feels like the biggest reason these have been so well received is because we've been subjected to so many side panels and weird striping over the years that simply being inoffensive and looking like a football uniform is considered a home run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packerfan21396 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 The Packers yet again refuse to make historically accurate numbers, and this is the easiest historic number set to get right since its still being cut and sewn on jerseys in San Francisco and throwbacks in Indianapolis. Also, the green could definitely be brighter; it looks like they're using their current forest green rather than kelly green. However, I do love that the logos are based on the coaches' gear, but I doubt the font that is being used is historically accurate, even though there wasn't a lot of source pixels to work with; the hat and shirt logos were most likely blockier. Brighter green, blockier logos and correct number font: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 So this is how the Packers are promoting the new alt in the Pro Shop, alongside a reproduction of the 1955 uniform. I’m guessing the Hall of Fame didn’t have a mannequin in the 1950 uniform this actually recreates. 12 The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.
