I’m actually a Cowboys fan. But I’m gonna be honest… I disagree with ALL of you. I am shocked you guys don’t like this. These are probably the coolest throwback uniforms I’ve ever seen. You cannot go farther BACK than this. The helmets and shoes are brown to imitate the leather equipment back in the 1920′s. The numbers suit the era. One thing i would change though just to compromise with the present day uniforms: change whatever is navy blue to (jersey and socks) to green, the current team green. Then they would be recognized as the Packers but still have a cool throwback element. Then these uniforms would be absolutely perfect.

Some of the throwbacks are hideous (see Broncos white and brown pukebacks) however embracing the past is really what’s important.

I liked the previous throw back jersey’s better, the one’s with the gold shoulders and navy torsos. That circle isn’t the greatest.

Ryan is correct, the design is taken from the 1929 uniform, the first year the Packers won an NFL championship. In the original version, the circle was much smaller. They had to enlarge it for this version to meet the league’s current number size requirements.

Ugly. Shoulda stayed in the 1920′s. The alternate shoulda been kept the design we have now but in black, or even the navy and khaki. But the yellow circle in front looks ridiculous. Its like a bullseye for opposing teams to hit. I looked back at the jerseys of old and didnt see one with a yellow yield light on the front!
