Blue Falcon Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I've been running searches on this site but can't find the post, but I remember someone had this book and mentioned that on one page there is a pic of the Rams playing the Packers in the 50s, and both were wearing yellow jerseys. Can someone help me with that info? THX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to throw a pic on my site....I Googled it, and the book described says all photos are in B&W, so don't know about both teams wearing yellow jerseys.

Gothamite Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Oh, I'm sure that the photos are black and white (color photos of football games pre-1960s are rare). But it would still be a great visual. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it would still be a great visual.http://proquest.umi.com/pqdweb?RQT=309&...p;did=424871091this happened on december 7, 1952. when the packers played in the coliseum and lost to the rams, 45-27. quoting from the game report in the los angeles times written by frank finch:"but bill (howton) wasn't the only thing that confused the rams."coach gene ronzani's team (the packers) took the field wearing mustard yellow jersies strikingly similar to the rams' canary yellow pullovers. for awhile it appeared that nobody knew who was supposed to knock down whom."commissioner bert bell is expected to conduct a hearing on the rule violation, which caused the rams to play the game under protest."i can't seem to post the photo from proquest, but hopefully the link will allow you to see the newspaper photo.btw, no photos from that game were in my edition of the "golden age of pro football" (paperback).hth anyway. tb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
