In the 1960s, the Packers were one of the best NFL teams, and they still retain the record for most NFL Championships won (pre-1970 NFL-AFL merger). Vince Lombardi, a great coach for the Green Bay Packers, has been honoured by having the Super Bowl trophy bear his name. In 2010, the Packers finally reached the Super Bowl. Combined with the Dallas Cowboys, they have the most postseason games of any team. There have been four Super Bowl victories for the Green Bay Packers. By winning the first-ever Super Bowl, they cemented their place in legend.
History
The Green Bay Packers are the most recognizable franchise in Wisconsin and the only publicly owned professional sports team. The Acme Packing Corporation, a meatpacking company that obtained team rights in the early 1920s, gave the team its name. Green Bay has won four Super Bowls, including the inaugural contest in 1966. The Packers have won 13 league titles, which is more than any other team (counting titles won before the merger of the NFL and AFL). The Super Bowl champion receives the Vince Lombardi Trophy, named after Green Bay’s legendary coach. We chose to “Lambeau Leap” into the rich history of one of the NFL’s most storied franchises.

About Uniform:
In 1921: The team’s early ownership by the Acme Packing Company is commemorated by the wearing of jerseys in the company colours of navy blue and gold. The pants are worn high to protect the lower body, while the uniforms are made of felt for improved grip. From 1923 to 1924, the Packers wore a simple gold jersey with nine navy blue stripes on each sleeve. In 1927: Jockey-style shirts and faded blue pants with 13 vertical stripes of blue and gold were substituted. In 1929: the team abandoned its flashy uniforms for plain dark-navy jerseys with little numbers on the front encircled in a circle. In 1937: The Packers wore a blue uniform with gold numbers and a gold upper 1937. The stockings coordinate with the shirt, and the trousers are gold. The club has paid homage to this garment in recent throwback performances.

In 1951: A metallic gold base was complemented with a green accent colour for the team’s uniforms. The shirt is a vivid shade of green with gold numbers and two gold stripes on each sleeve. You can also pair the top’s reversed colours with gold pants with green stripes. In 1954: The Packers debuted a new version of their navy-blue jerseys with dirty mustard three-stripes. In 1959: Vince Lombardi redesigned the uniforms, introducing the critical style and colour changes used today. Changes include socks with three stripes and green-gold colours. In 1961: The stripes on the socks were also changed, and the helmet got the team’s original logo. In 1969: The Packers, along with the rest of the NFL, sport a particular patch on the left shoulder to celebrate the league’s 50th season.
In 1975: The inch-and-a-half broad green-white-green line on the bottom of the pants was expanded.
In 1984: Forrest Gregg, the new head coach, changed the attire since Vince Lombardi devised it in the late 1950s. Each sleeve has the team’s logo over the striping. The team’s name is circled in green on the pants, while the “TV numbers” extend from the sleeves to the shoulders. In 1989, both the brand name, the numbers on the sleeves and the numbering on the pants were eliminated. In 1994: To celebrate the team’s 75th anniversary, the Packers wear a throwback jersey with navy blue and yellow colours. In 2001: Green Bay plays the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day, 2001, while wearing antique attire. The clothing, which consists of white jerseys with green numbers and gold trousers, evokes the 1930s.

In 2010: The Packers dressed in 1920s-inspired “throwback” uniforms. The top features a classic blue and yellow colour pattern, while the pants are murky gold.
In 2012: Since the NFL is switching from Reebok to Nike as the official uniform supplier, the Packers insist there have been no modern advancements. The team has opted to keep using their old Nike uniforms, which feature a classic collar and striped trim.
Jersey
