Overview

  • Green Bay took the field against the Panthers wearing its new '1923 Classic' alternate, marking the set’s first game appearance.
  • A custom hand-painted helmet replicates the look of the leather headgear the team used in its early years while using modern materials.
  • The uniform features navy jerseys with gold block numbers and three gold sleeve stripes, paired with tan pants.
  • Front numbers were added to the jerseys to comply with current league standards, a detail the original 1923 tops did not include.
  • The release continues the Packers’ heritage-uniform tradition seen in 2010–11 and 2013–14 throwbacks, after being teased on the team’s official accounts.
