GREEN BAY – Those hoping to see the Packers try out a futuristic uniform on a Sunday afternoon at Lambeau Field will probably have to wait until the franchise has exhausted its historical options.
The team could have another new look coming in 2016, though, provided a Thursday night game is on the schedule.
After unveiling the team’s latest third jersey at the annual shareholders meeting on Tuesday, President/CEO Mark Murphy told the media the prevailing internal sentiment is to use third jerseys to highlight a historical era, not design something brand new.
“It makes sense to have a throwback rather than a neon or brightly colored yellow,” Murphy said following the annual meeting, attended by just under 12,000 on a warm summer day.
