uniforms...

at various times,in Packers' history,talking of uniforms,the color blue,has been the dominant color,in the Packers' uniform(note:the third jersey,today,celebrating the 1929 NFL Championship team),and from 1954-1957,but with the advent of Vince Lombardi,as coach,the color green became dominant,again... the current uniform goes back to 1961,with Lombardi,and the hue of the helmet(the yellow-gold),is unique to the Packers,and the lettering on the helmet(the Big "G")comes from 1961,and Lombardi(whether he designed it is debatable-urban legend says that he did),it stands for Green Bay... the uniform has been worn by every Packers' player,since,and unlike some new uniforms(the Denver Broncos,and the Seattle Seahawks,for example)that simply look like a modern art exhibit run amok,the Packers' uniform is simple and rather understated,and has been,since 1961,and that is the way that it should be,period....
