The Green Bay Packers have one of the most classic uniforms in the NFL. Along with teams like the Chicago Bears, Pittsburgh Steelers, and other historic franchises, Green Bay has resisted the urges that some teams have given into in terms of “modernizing” their jerseys.
For this writer, at least, my reaction to that decision is a firm “thank you” to the team’s decision-makers.
When Nike got the NFL uniform contract over Reebok in 2012, they instituted a number of uniform features that affected teams around the league. Perhaps the most notable item was the “flywire” collar, which led many squads to change their collar designs.
