Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles also will revisit the Packers' long history as the team will wear their third jersey, a re-creation of the historic 1929 uniform worn by the franchise's first NFL championship team.
The predominantly navy blue jersey bearing an oversized gold circle on the chest with large navy blue numbers will remind fans, players and all spectators of the unique history and tradition of the Green Bay Packers organization. The uniform includes tan pants, navy blue socks and black shoes. Due to NFL helmet guidelines, the team will utilize its regular gold helmet without the logo and stripes. Packers coaching staff and team personnel also will be wearing the third jersey sideline apparel, with many of the selections featuring "Acme Packers," the team moniker from the 1921-22 seasons. For fans, uniforms, sideline apparel and other Acme Packers apparel are available at the Packers Pro Shop, both in the store and online at www.PackersProShop.com.
