It was turn back the clock day in Green Bay today. Turn back the clock to the 1920's with these throwback uniforms the Packers wore today in their games against the 49ers.
These uniforms included a navy blue jersey uniforms with blue socks and a brown helmet, reminiscent of leather helmets.
I really don't know what to think of them, but I kind hope they are one and done with them. Look back at some black & white pics of these uniforms, I guess they were brought into modern times a bit.
Even Packer's quarterback was a little skeptical about what he was going to wear. I'm glad it didn't affect his play on the field.
"Since I got here I've been hoping for a throwback uniform game. You know, these are not what I was expecting but I am excited to be in the throwbacks this weekend," Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers told reporters on Wednesday.
Wearing a jersey like this gives fans a chance to reflect on the rich history of football in Green Bay.
"No other team in the league has anything like our history and tradition," said Packers president and CEO Mark Murphy. "And this was a great way to celebrate it."
The Packers celebrated with a victory today, that's all that matters.
