Sec19Row53 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Those damn 1929 uniforms are returning this year. They really look cool on the rack, but the numbers on the front are impossible to read in the stadium.http://www.620wtmj.com/news/local/128457468.html It's where I sit.

Mongoose Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 The Packers throwback uniforms simply do not work in this era of football uniforms. The brown helmet and tan pants look completely out of place, and the huge circle with the number in the center looks awkward on the modern uniform cut.If the Packers must have a throwback uniform, why not use this?

MJWalker45 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Since the Rams will probably be all white for that game I don't think it will be an issue, but I could see that being a problem if teh Rams wore blue or gold pants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnySeoul Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 And once again, that is the ongoing problem with Wikipedia.By all means explain. I've valued my sources for the past 3 years and 90% of the time they are dead on. Like I said above, the Packers weren't 100% sold on wearing them in 2011 and therefore they had to be removed. "Possible" uniforms will not be placed on their wiki pages. Everything must be confirmed.Don't hate on all of the hard work a lot of people put into the NFL/NCAA/NBA/MLB/NHL wiki pages.

Gothamite Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I'm not, Johnny. But the fact that any one lay person can arbitrarily decide on his own, without either authoritative sources or transparency, that the uniforms are no longer worthy of inclusion shows the inherent problem with the system. Especially when the shadowy and arbitrary decision tums out to be plain old wrong, but after it has been given the imprimatur of authority. It's not you I'm criticizing, or any of the others. It's the very bad Wikipedia model, that values consesus over truth, seniority over reality. You shouldn't have been put in a position to make that judgment call, and subsequently to have been wrong.

illwauk Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Speaking of the pro shop, why... why... WHY did they randomly throw Northwestern stripes on to this jersey? Getting a chance to buy that again was the only reason I was exited to hear the '29 throwbacks were coming back... how in the blue hell did they manage to eff that up?

JohnnySeoul Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Gothamite, they haven't yet even worn the jersey yet in 2011, so therefore the image of their uniform without the 3rd alternate uni wasn't wrong either.

You should have waited for conformation that they were not going to be worn before making the change.

Mac the Knife Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 What is the NFL record for collective INTs thrown in a game?13. The Denver Broncos picked off 8 against the Houston Oilers, and the Oilers picked off 5 in an AFL game on 2 Dec 1962.If you want to discount the early AFL years, then 11's the record. 11's occurred 8-9 times.

You should have waited for conformation that they were not going to be worn before making the change.I didn't remove it. When I created the new template, it wasn't included. It would've been wrong to have it without them telling me a strong yes. If I had placed it on there, then there's a legit argument that it shouldn't be on there as well. Pick your poison.Bryan Nehring, Asst. Equipment Manager for the Packers flat out told me that they were "on the fence" about wearing them this year back in April. He said it was, and I quote, "50/50" and "probably won't happen". Therefore, it wasn't included in the original template upgrade. Once it was 100% official, it was added. Doesn't get any easier than that. It's now on there and was NOT going to be on there until it was 100%. "50/50, on the fence, and probably won't happen" are not reasons to create something that may or may not still exist. This is how the things like the WikiProject National Football League work. We can't make everyone happy. Plus, this is exactly why there's a discussion tab at the top of every wiki page.
