GREEN BAY – Green Bay Packers fans will see green on Sunday. Lots and lots of green.
The Packers will wear what they call their classic uniforms for Sunday's noon game against the Washington Football Team at Lambeau Field. The uniforms will consist of yellow helmets over green jerseys, green pants and green socks.
They are classic because they don't altogether qualify as throwbacks. They are inspired by uniforms worn in the 1950s, but with certain modern upgrades, such as more familiar shades of green and less-tacky — read that as "no stripes" — socks.
