Packers’ new throwbacks meant to resemble century-old uniform

The Green Bay Packers revealed their new throwback uniforms Thursday − and the Pack have gone all the way back.

Dubbed the ‘1923 Classic,’ the uniform is meant to celebrate the club’s first season as a publicly owned corporation, a stock sale rescuing the club from debt. The throwback helmets are meant to resemble the leather ones the team wore more than a century ago, painted in a manner that also makes them look distressed and shows the stitching of the day.

Washington attempted a similar helmet during the 2012 season, but it didn’t have nearly the level of detailing that Green Bay’s new one does.

The ‘1923 Classic’ ensemble will also feature navy jerseys with dark gold numbers and striping along with tan pants and gold socks.

The uniforms will be debuted for a home game at Lambeau Field, the date yet to be announced.

The Packers, along with every other team, will be permitted to wear alternate and/or throwback uniforms a combined total of four times this season, up from three in previous years. Green Bay has expanded its uniform closet in recent years, adding an alternate green jersey and pants in 2021 and a predominantly white (helmet included) ‘Winter Warning’ version last year.
