The Green Bay Packers will sport a new, history-inspired third uniform this season.
Thursday morning, the 50’s classic uniform was announced. The inspiration comes from the team’s uniforms from 1950 to 1953, which was the second time the team wore green and gold in its history. The Packers first wore green in the mid-to-late 1930s.
The new uniforms will debut at Lambeau Field on Oct. 24 against Washington.
According to the Packers, “The uniforms are all green, with gold numbers and stripes similar to the jerseys worn in the 1950s. In those days, the green was a Kelly green and the team alternated between wearing it with green or gold pants. This alternate jersey, which is the Packers’ traditional green color, with gold numbers and stripes, will be worn with matching green pants with gold stripes, and matching green socks.”
