Semi-OT: Packers Merchandise

[skitch815]

I remember when Ron Wolf wanted to change the "gold" (AKA pee yellow) with real Notre Dame style gold. From what I recall it was pretty close to happening. Still wish it would have. I always think about it when Notre Dame wears their green jerseys, which outside of Oregon, are my favorite uni's in college football. I've always wanted someone who was good with photoshop to show me what that would look like.

That image isn't working. This should.



I vaguely remember the uniform change talk and all the older Packer fans were against it because the green and gold we have is a classic.

I really like the Notre Dame gold with the green jerseys though.

Thanks skitch. Those are sweet, other than the G on the sides, which I could deal with if it meant getting rid of the peepee yellow.

[Limca]

I'm not sure why the NFL shop allowed it but I have the "house" jersey at my office that's #89 and says "Hot Tub".

[PkrsBcksGphsMqt]

Those jerseys are way too much like Notre Dame. I'd rather keep what we have than go to something like that. The G on the shoulder is lame too.

I like that color scheme better than what the Packers wear, but for me, i'm generally against teams with long time tradition of wearing the same uniforms going out and changing them pretty radically.

I know many sports fans prefer the flashy type of uniforms like say Oregon wears, but i much prefer an old school and tradition filled Alabama or Ohio St. classic look over these schools and teams that change their uniforms nearly every season. I thought the uniforms Oregon wore in the title game were hideous.

I understand why some don't like that mustard yellow color in the Packers uniforms. I certainly wouldn't pick that color if i was starting a new team and designing uniforms. That said, the green and yellow look has been the Packers colors for decades and our uniforms are immediately recognized by any sports fans compared to other teams that are regularly changing their uniforms to the point they become just like all the other unrecognizable teams who also regularly change their uniforms.

Yep, Green and Gold = Yankee pin stripes.

The best sight in all of sports is the Packers, wearing home uniforms in fall/winter.

I've been getting lately what I've been told were authentic from China. Like the one's y'all have been mentioning. I'm getting them through a guy, from a guy, who knows a guy type deal. All the labels and stitching seems to be on par with authentic, except for the reebok logo. The game issued jerseys I've seen have reebok logo patches whereas the logos on the jerseys I got are stitched. The numbers seem fairly close in scale. Is this consistent with other 'chinauthentic' jerseys? Look/feel like the real thing for roughly 10-25% of the cost. I've been asked countless times how much I paid for my throwback Matthews (blue with big yellow circle w/ # inside). Some get the, "I'd rather not say", while others get "$25" upon which I'm flooded with orders. I've skimmed through this thread, and may have missed, but are these china authentics usually acquired seedily or just mine? Also note: Among the last order placed was a Falcon Favre with an actual price tag of $360.

I've gotten mine through websites and the average price per a jersey has been about $20-25.

A friend of mine placed an order with a group of guys and he just told me that his order got seized at US customs. I was kind of geeked up to get a couple - maybe now, not so much.

LOL @ these jerseys being made by Starter.

[Wilford Brimley]

Starter was the **** in the mid 90s.

[jakecronus8]

God those scrapped jerseys are boss. Any tips on how I could custome make one?

[Wade-A-Holic]

Starter was the **** in the mid 90s.

And now their stuff gets sold by Wal Mart.

[Wilford Brimley]

At one point they had the best player in the NFL advertising for them.

Now, they are sold at Walmart.

What the hell happened?
