Slater Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Didn't Green Bay used to have the "G" logo on the jersy sleeves at some point in the past? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thejroll Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Yeah, I was wondering this too. This weeks Sports Illustrated shows a picture of Reggie White in uniform with the G logo on the sleeve striping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chazberg Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Yeah they did from like the mid-80's until I wanna say maybe '91 or 92. Sure glad they got rid of it. Now if only San Fran would follow suit....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Yeah, I was wondering this too. This weeks Sports Illustrated shows a picture of Reggie White in uniform with the G logo on the sleeve striping. when he got to GB they were using those oldies as practice jerseys. my earliest Reggie card as a Packer has him in that jersey as well.and to answer when they discarded teh Gs, it was the 89 season.

Now if only San Fran would follow suit....... I actually like the fact that the niners have the logo on the sleeves. My only complaint about it is that its a screened on logo. I feel it should be an embroidered patch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puckguy14 Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I like the SF on there too. As for Green Bay, I also noticed reversed striping on some Reggie White clips as well. What I mean is I saw the home striping on the away jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewharrington Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 i dislike having the same logo on the sleeve as is on the helmet. looks redundant to me. 49ers old look was great. i think they could have updated it better if they had to update it, although everyone and his/her respective brother will disagree with me.

MonoMan Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Do the Seahawks have in too? I agree it's redundant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 its not redundant at all. the main part of the football uni that features the logo is the helmet. if a fan buys his team's jersey, and it has the logo on it, i think its cool, because it means that the fan can buy fied apperal (jerseys, helmets) and still have a piece of merch. that features the team crest. in hockey fans take it for granted because the jerseys ARE the focal point of the logo. however in football its kind of special for a team to feature at least a secondary logo on the jerseys. imo the pakers should go back to the logo on the sleaves. leave the #'s off the pants though.

Gothamite Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 The Seahawks do, but it's so small that you can't really see it on the field. It's about the same size as the little Reebok logo - like the wordmarks on the collar, it seems intended more for replica jerseys.The Packers considered bringing back the G on the sleeves as part of Ron Wolf's proposed uniform overhaul in the early 1990s.I myself hate it on the 49ers - just redundant. Obviously made for merchandising, which I think is backwards.Create a great football uniform, and let the merchandising take care of itself. The Packers aren't exactly hurting for jerseys sales, and they don't have their logo anywhere on the jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braden Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I think it really depends on the jersey. Most jerseys need the logo on the shoulder, whether it be a primary or secondary. The 49ers are a team that could do without, but I don't mind it.Gothamite is right. Everyone knows the Packers jersey, whethey you're into football or not. Same goes for the Raiders. But other teams are nowhere near established when it comes to an established identity. Most teams in the NFL have changed uniforms in the past 10 years.

andrewharrington Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 however in football its kind of special for a team to feature at least a secondary logo on the jerseys.exactly. its only unneeded if its the same logo as the helmet. a secondary is fine. there are SIX panther heads on carolinas uniforms. it gets redundant.

Gothamite Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I can't believe that I missed an opportunity to pluf The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! The sleeve logos were 1984 - 1989. When I was young, it sure seemed that they wore them a lot longer than five years.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
