tBBP Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 As I've said many times before, the Packers got it right on Thanksgiving 2003 when they wore uniforms that are as close as possible to Lombardi's original design from the 60s.That does look good, but I don't want to have to sit through thread after thread about gray face masks.That look, with current pants stripe (thicker) and a green mask? Winner.So, basically, the 1996 look with striped socks and black shoes? They may as well keep what they have now if that's the case. Unless they were to switch back to the uniforms as Lombardi's teams wore them (with the necessary concession for sleeves they made in 2003, of course) there's really no point in changing anything.Or, they could take this look right here, combine it with Ron Wolf's 1994 idea, and come out with something like...this:/shameless plug *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmu599 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Has anyone heard abou this years alts and aways (pants included)?Well the Giants interview has shown both the away (same) and red alterante (same). Panthers also have shown white and blue. I'm sure we'll see more Flywire collar mishaps like the Redskins red collar on white jersey. Rumors also say the Skins will get a black alternate.I've been hearing rumors of a black alt for the Skins, but on Tuesday's "Redskins Nation" program, Larry Michael said that on 5/10, the Skins would introduce an 80th Anniversary alt. Sounds like throwback to me. I'm hoping to see the feather helmet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stripes socks are not a small change IMO. Picture the Bears uniform unchanged except for solid navy socks. I'm sure for some that would be fine, but for me, that would ruin their whole look. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd actually love to see how that'd look.Looks great for the pack too, especially the road.

But now that three distinct generations of Packers have won Super Bowls with some variation of the Lombardi-designed unis, it wouldn't make sense to switch up like this. They could probably do a blue version of these as an alt though (with logo-less helmets, of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 You know what, Nic...you might be onto something.A blue-and-yellow alt in that style. It'll appease Packer fans who'd like to see that set return as an alternate...and it'll satisfy the swoosh fanboys-and Jermichael Finley-who either swear up and down or think the Pack should "conform to Nike's kewl technology".How's that for a compromise? *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GangGr33n FTW Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 With this news, and the Madden "alternate unis, pants and helmets" stuff, we can say we DEFINITELY haven't heard the last from Nike. My thoughts: Pro Combat 51, a series of alternate uniforms reflecting on the past, present, and future of the NFL. New radical ideas come to fruition, and old classics renewed. For ex:Bears: All orangeBucs: Cream-sickles with a twist (Modernized striping, new Bucco)Giants: Red unis with new stripingPackers: Blue and YellowJets: Kelly and Black with modernized stripingLions: AnthraciteChiefs: Gold uniPatriots: Ben Dover returns on a white-white-red uniCoyboys: Silver alt in current throwback styleand so on.

If it had the traditional 'G' helmet logo, done in the same style as this 'GB' logo, it would be a much easier sell to fans of their current look. Just sayin'.
