GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – The most storied franchise in the NFL is taking it back to the 1920s with a new uniform, complete with a helmet inspired by the Green Bay Packers’ original leather headwear.
On Thursday, the Green Bay Packers unveiled an alternate uniform that will be debuted at Lambeau Field this fall. The jerseys honor the team’s history and are a nod to Green Bay’s first season as a publicly owned corporation.
