Packers’ 1923 Throwback Debuts This Week With NFL’s First Hand-Painted Helmet

The debut highlights a leaguewide push to showcase heritage designs on national stages.

Overview

  • Green Bay will wear its 1923 Classic uniform against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday in Week 9.
  • The brown helmet is hand-painted to mimic early leather headgear and includes realistic distressing, strap and stitching effects, and a navy facemask.
  • The set features navy jerseys with dark gold numbers and sleeve stripes, tan pants, navy socks, and a plain back with gold block name and number styling.
  • The Packers chose 1923 to honor the formation of the publicly owned Green Bay Football Corporation and the team’s first matching navy jerseys, as documented in contemporaneous Press-Gazette accounts.
  • ESPN lists Washington in Super Bowl-era throwbacks on Sunday Night Football against Seattle, reinforcing Week 9’s broader retro slate.
