In 1929, the stock market crashed, sparking the Great Depression. And as the Packers try to generate more revenue in the wake of the Great Recession, they’re going back to 1929 for a little help.
The Packers will introduce an alternate jersey from that season, featuring on the front side uniform numbers encased in a circle, like a road sign. They plan to wear the jersey up to twice per year.
Presumably, the Packers will wear different helmets and pants, too, as they did in 1994 when wearing a separate set of throwback uniforms in conjunction with the NFL’s 75th season.
Here’s a slide show with several images of the new shirt. Let us know if you like it or if you hate it.
And here’s a link to the 1994 throwbacks, which might have caused more than a few fans to experience an acute case of nausea.
Those aren’t bad. Now ask again when the helmets and pants are revealed.
i like that they used Jordy Nelson as the jersey.
Those are ridiculous and horrid. There were enough bad jerseys last year. plus the packers suck along with jordy nelson who is garbage.
looks terrible, like the Jets and Eagles throwbacks that absolutely blow. Who thinks that these ideas will work??
It needs something. Ah! Yes. Leather helmets.
Decrepit. Hanus also comes to mind.
I’m not a Packers fan, but those are pretty damn rad. I might roll Packers on Madden next year just to sport them duds.
So then… no black players?
LOL, Purple & Gold. The Vikings should wear them.
Throwback Jersey’s are nothing more than a scam, but i’m sure in Wisconsin a 1929 jersey is akin to lingerie…Hold on, I just read an e-mail form the ambassador to Nigeria, seems i’m in line for 150 million in my name in an overseas account….Gotta run
Boring.
I enjoy the throwback jersey’s.. Besides Denver last year that was god awful ugly..
Figures the dumbass packers would use the wrong colors.
Meh, it’s not bad, but it’s not good either.
Why is it blue/yellow and not green/yellow?
Did he say “throwback” or “throw up” jerseys…….the shit brown pants are appropriate cuz that’s what their white one’s looked like after they got spanked by BF twice last year!!
All they need is cardboard shoulderpads.
Those jerseys are terrible.

I don’t care for them myself, the brown helmets just don’t sit right.
DAMMIT…… I kinda like it

Or your too ignorant to know those where the packer colors in there early years !
I think they’re actually better than the ones they wore back in ’94… but that’s not saying much. I agree with waiting to see what the helmets and the pants look like before passing judgment.
For my money, the best LOGO they ever had was back in the 60′s with the running back doing the Heisman pose with the state of Wisconsin in the background.
Too many articles about the Fudgies tonight.
And to think Packer fans live in the 50′ and 60′s still, now they are going to live all the way back in the 20′s lol.Guess there is nothing for them to look forward to in the future.
You know how as a kid when your parents would tell you not to stare at people or not to make fun of those who are handicaped or retarded?Well that is what it is like for Packer fans, they meet people all time who try not to stare at them or laugh and make fun of them.They have gotten used to people behaving in such matter.
Funny thing is , they (the Packer fans)think people are laughing with them , they cant figure out when they are being laughed at.Packer fans are the worlds biggest collection of losers and social rejects.
DJ Lance Rock
that was there colors back in the day but nice try…im not a fan at all and i love the Packers
Curly Lambeau always like Notre Dame and several of the early jerseys were variations of what Notre Dame had during the era.
1929 was the year that the Packers went undefeated and won the NFL Title, their first of 3 consecutive World Championships. They are the only team to win 3 consecutive Titles and have done so twice(1929-1931 and 1965-1967).
Perhaps the 1929 luck will rub off on them as they go for another undefeated season in 2010 and hopefully their 13th World Championship.
GO PACK GO!
Losing to Favre twice last year was the Great Depression.
Looks like they ripped off the Jets throwback Jerseys. TT doesn’t have an ounce of originality in his whole body.
94 was better… those are pretty bad looks like your number is a discount sticker price
Those things are pretty cool. And ‘Someone’, they’re not purple and gold, they’re blue and khaki, which were the original colors of their old championship teams. Adjust your monitor.
Looks like the same color blue the Bears wear.
The Circle that the number in the front is on is horrible.
Due to NFL regulations, the number on the front is way to large and it looks stupid! It looked nice in orginal form.
They are about as ugly as the current packers jerseys. Why don’t they go back to a time when they looked like John Deere farm tractors.
they should make the old uniforms look more vintage. do it right or you get boring uniforms at best, ridiculous ones (Denver & Philly) at worst
A mans son comes running up to him all excited and says “daddy daddy I just took a shit”the father goes over to see and looks and a chuckle escapes from him, “Son, that is not a shit that is a Packer fan”.
They are ugly, which for the Viking fans is fimilar territory because that is the same word used to describe their signficant others which is usually a guy named Bruce.
Fugly.
I like the jersey…sharp.
Too bad the yellow beachball outlining the numbers on the front isn’t in the shape of a football.

You are obviously a complete idiot. First of all it’s not TT’s decision, it’s Mark Murphy’s decision on the uniforms. How can you rip off a uniform if it is the same uniform that the team actually wore in 1929. Grow a brain!
The throwback uniforms are awesome. Most here commenting are Packer haters. Go Pack Go!
Fan of Football-maybe try researching before you make an uniformed post.
the giant circle on the front is like a target for defenses… they’re just begging to get hit there

Michigan?
That is what I thought, until someone above explained the whole Notre Dame connection. Which makes a lot of sense to me.
If you are Packer fan and you want a slice of yesteryear, its something for you to drop some lettuce on. Which is why they do these throw back games.
Obviously those of us who aren’t Packer fans probably have no use for them. Being a Patriots fan, I loved those candy apple red jerseys from 1978 that had the stripe at the end of the sleeve as opposed to the shoulder.
Completely understand if no one else finds those worth investing in.
Simply Disgusting. Please, dont blind us with those nasty things during the season. Thanks in advance.
Re. “Losing to Favre twice last year was the Great Depression”:
I Wonder If Favre will overrule Chilly and call plays to run up the score
this season? http://www.hubdub.com/m64876 “And the silence you hear is Lambeau Field!”
I don’t understand why the Eagles don’t make their throwbacks the Jaws/Wilbert Montgomery/Harold Carmichael era unis…or better yet, bring them back.
Everything about the state of Wisconsin is a throw back to the 1920s.
For a photograph of the original 1929 uniform check this photograph of Johnny “Blood” McNally.

@MrHumble
The Packers don’t wear white pants. I love when fools try to make a cut and totally get their facts wrong.
Front is terrible. Back looks fine but as “idropbombs” said, looks like Michigan unis.
1929…not bad…I kinda like it! 32 years before the cute little Vikings were born…and roughly 81-82 years before their move to Los Angeles. HA!
The UFL has better.
F@cking stupid ass look. Hope the Vikings get to bloody up those homo jerseys!
But ugly jerseys to compliment an over rated crappy team. Seems fitting, really.
Of course the Sconnie love this look…
Cmon, this is Wisconsin we’re talking about…
Milwaukee’s Best and roofies are considered a romantic evening…

In case you skipped the whole article because you ignorant morons couldnt wait to throw out a snide comment about the packers, this is nearly identical to what they wore in the 20′s, so please fill me in on how we copied the jets alternate jerseys. Seriously the day you get so sick of your pathetic life that you end it, will be a better day for all of us.
Now, return to La-Z-boy and your case of Shlitz, and keep thinking about how great the Vikings look on paper and are sure to win it all next year. We have heard it for 3 straight years now yet it always ends the same…… Run to the bathroom, and shit on the floor….. Skol.

Those WERE the Packers colors back then.
Perhaps, before you post a comment that makes you look like a ‘tard, you might want to get your facts straight. Just a thought !
Philtration, I gotta admit, that is pretty funny.
Pervy, nothing is as f@cking stupid ass looking as the arena league garbage the Queens sport now.
Even the most inbreed back woods Wisconsin hick knows that Mark Murphy is nothing but a figurehead for TT.
Actually, I kinda like it…I’m a bit suprised considering I really liked the throwbacks they wore in 1994 (the blue with the yellow shoulders worn in Don Hutson’s era).
Although I guess I would need to see the pants & helmet that accompany them.
It does have a very Michigan-esque look as far as the back of the jersey & the color.
If they are gonna do a throwback they might as well use the same material as the original, 100% cotton I believe. Then it can be really cheesy.
I love the Packers, but I just threw up in my mouth.
“Hanus”
“Looks like they ripped off the Jets throwback Jerseys. TT doesn’t have an ounce of originality in his whole body.”
Wow and wow.
it’s about embracing the past with having the current tech. all these assholes that think that football didn’t exist before super bowls can shuck it. nobody could pull this off except the pack. definitely better than the “furious pumpkins” look the bears pull during halloween week.
Whoo, all that blue and gold … Are they trying to make people think they’re the Vikings???
Not bad. Basic and to the point. Couldnt be as bad as those MLB “turn the clock forward” future jerseys
EGAD.
The REAL uni’s from that time were in a different, more muted shade of blue, and went well with the khaki-colored pants. The combo was what made the uni look pretty good.
The pics from today show just a shirt, which is pointless. Also, the blue is changed and looks totally modern. But to me, the worst part is that the gold on the back clashes violently with the lemon-colored names.
They took something that looked good for its time and would have been a nice homage to the old Pack, but then messed it up with the stupid mindset that whatever is new is always better than what’s old.
If you’re gonna do throwbacks, and really pay them respect, you have to lift them from THEN into NOW without change. Respect what they were. Messing with them usually produces Yuk, as it did in this case. I am totally disappointed.
I think they’re sweet. The circle around the numbers is unlike anything in the NFL. The navy blue is a nice changup from 80 years of green and gold.
those things are hideous
Green and yellow in any combo is ugly.
They are a lot better than the Jersey the Seahawks used last year, and much better than some of the other “Throw Back” styles I’ve seen used….
Gotta love the bullseye right on the front of the jersey……..EXACT spot where Aaron Rodgers will be getting sacked by the Vikings defense!!! (Not that the Vikings had a problem sacking his ass last year)
In the Spring of 2000, Green Bay Packers tight end (and staunch critic of statutory rape laws) Mark Chmura decided that attending an after-prom party with the 17-year-old girl who babysat his kids was a brilliant idea.
Jeez packers if your gonna sell out, at least do it in style, those jerseys look like a bag of smashed ass.
These are so silly stupid. The good news is the Broncos and Steeler throwbacks suddenly don’t look so ridiculous.
I hate throwbacks from before the 70′s because it doesn’t actually look like what they’re modeled after. I prefer throwbacks to the 80′s (like the Pats) where the uniforms actually look like what they did in that era, as opposed to throwbacks to the 20′s which actually don’t look like they’re from the 20′s.
Fan of Football is proving how smart he is again people. Watch out. Poor guy doesn’t know the game of football at all, and now apparently he can’t see.
A man born without a human brain and eyes. Tragic. Just tragic.
You got to love these Packer fans,their power of being , ignorent is amazing.They think that other people like them.They think that when they are in with a crowd of people and the people are laughing that they are laughing with them, if this isn’t a sign of being ignorent im not sure what is.
They seem to not be able to comprehend the basic human realationships,basic human knowlege,basic reasoning nor have the capibility to comprehend even the most basic questions.
They are a strange group of homosapians, very odd and different from the other human beings.They dress in a why which is very distrubing.They are usally in overalls with a wife beater shirt underneath.They are often in their Sunday best Wrangler jeans.They can often be seen with cheese on their heads,which is a reall hoot to the rest of the humans.They often arrive in a pick up truck with the latest 50 cent or emenim cassette blaring in their factory raido player.They more then not are missing some upper and lower teeth and seem to have a problem stopping them self’s from masterbaiting.
If you are not a Packer fan, then don’t comment. Those jerseys are better than most throwbacks. The Broncos’ last year were hideous, as were the Jets’. The Chargers are the only ones that everyone loves( the baby blue). I think the Pakcer throwbacks are great. It switches it up a bit, but I do love the fact that the Packers’ jerseys don’t change. They have basically been the same since the 60′s. It’s a great tradition. I hope the Packers never change their uniforms!
They’re worse then the Eagles UCLA throwbacks
They look like our old high school practice jerseys. FUGLY.
Curly Lambeau went to Noter Dame you dopes! He use their colors when he started the packers. They also won the chamionship in 1929.
Man i really dont know why i go to this stupid sight. You guys are all idiots.
Classic. Old school. Love it. People don’t realize that the Packers were using Notre Dame colors at one time, before the green and gold. That was a long time ago. Classy retro-look from a classy organization with retro credentials. The Packer-haters (Viking fans) only wish they had enough “throwback” to throwback to. Any uniform they could possibly consider for participating in this annual event would look exactly the same as every other year…..except when they stole those stupid pantleg curved stripes from Denver a few years back. Very original. I’ll be wearing this Packer 1929 jersey this summer…in recognition of the finest football organization in the US…honoring their first national championship….33 years before the Vikings ever showed up.
Looks like a Jets and Steelers throwback mixed together. Its only for selling them.

I have no idea what TT did to you, but if he touched you in an improper place you need to tell your parents. You can’t make the pain go away by flaming him on the internet. Go get some counseling and come back andyou can post about football.
Teams should realize that there is usually a pretty good reason they stopped wearing their old jerseys. These are hideous.
And stop it with all this nonsense about teams wearing throwbacks as an “homage” to the past, as if they give a s***. This is all about jersey sales. More choices, more opportunities to fleece the fans.

throwbacks are just a way for the nfl to make money, so i don’t really care which old uniforms they use. it’s a new season so all the vikings fans have to fire up the internet machine and talk shit about the packers. i hope you sign ladanian tomlinson to add to your impressive collection of antique football players

A man won the $500 million in the lottery. He had three sons. He told his sons that he had won the lottery, that he now had a lot of money, and he would like to know what each one of them would like to have. Money was no object. The first one said that he had always wanted a Jaguar. The father went out and, since money was no object, bought him seven Jaguars in different colors so that he would have a different one to drive every day of the week. The second son said that he had always wanted a motorcycle, so the father went out and, since money was no object, bought him 30 new motorcycles, 15 dirt bikes and 15 touring bikes, so he would have different bikes to drive every day of the month. The third and youngest son, being only eight years old, said that he had always wanted a Mickey Mouse outfit. So, money being no object, his father went out and bought his son the Minnesota Vikings.

I’m glad my team doesn’t have to wear that debacle of a jersey.
I hope they will be allowed to wear that when they play in the superbowl. Everyone knows that these are about making extra cash, but people will spend money on what they want. You gonna critique other people for spending all that money on crack?
I love reading PFT comments just about every day. This crap just makes me crack up and really brightens up my day.
As koch23jk mentioned, packerhater28 if you’re gonna rip on a fan base about being “ignorent” at least spell ignorant correctly along with “capibility” which I think you were looking for capability.
The funniest part of all your rants however, is that none of them are actually funny. Minnesota fans are calling Wisconsin fans hicks lol. Every part of Minnesota north and west of Minneapolis/St. Paul is basically desolate Canada.

The first picture Jimi posted is a perfect microcosm of Minnesota’s population. Fargo was not made by accident.
Jeff, you live in Wisconsin. La Crosse is a nice city, but I guess all of the people are fat or retarded, huh? Maybe you should move to a nice Minnesota city. Like Duluth or St. Cloud… By the way, when is TT gonna start not re-signing all of those FA’s like you promised?
He hasn’t signed them all yet, has he?
Packer fans is so pathetic. Vikings own the central division. They cant win it like they cant build any tall buidings in Wisconsin. Minnesota is all class and Wisconsin is all ass. Wisconsin people are tooth less hicks who like having sex with an animal (or there fat moms). Minnesotans got the money, power and respect. We are like Scarface!
Listen, Ill settle this once and for all. I originally hail from Wisconsin(West Bend), have a lot of family in Minnesota(TC and Hibbing area), and am currently in the military stationed in Maryland. So i would say I have a fairly objective opinion. Minnesotans are far more boring, and Wisconsinites are fatter and drunker, not that there is anything wrong with that. Minnesotans have a healthy distrust for there team, where Wisconsinites are blindly loyal.
Boom, argument solved.

To answer your question, yes. None of them are ideal, but I’d rather look like any of those people than the 1st and 3rd ones I posted. Wearing blonde wigs and/or dressing as a flight attendant? There’s a word for that:
Cross-dressing
Lest we remind you folks to the west, that your “get-up” consists of piss yellow pony tails surrounded by shades of purple, which we all know is glorified dark pink. You might as well be wearing rainbow stripes over there. Remind yourselves daily of 2 important things. 1) You still don’t have an NFL Championship or a Super Bowl Title…..and probably never will. 2) When that ego-maniac douchebag wearing number 4 tanks this year and then hangs it up, you’ll be back to mediocre status at best with the 2 clowns you’ll have at quarterback. Your bandwagon fan base will desolve like it always does, you’ll probably start getting your games blacked out again, Zygi will see the writing on the wall and look at pulling the team elsewhere, or will at least threaten that notion. (Vike Nasty, I’m from West Bend as well). If I had to move anywhere from here it would probably be MN. My brother moved there 20 years ago (Ham Lake area) and it’s awesome to visit there. That being said, you take away the Twin Cities and it’s nothing but Fargo from border to border…..
