Packers Bringing Back 1929 Throwback Unis?

This would be awesome.

No, I don't think they should wear it a bunch of times, like the old AFL teams did last season. Just one game, like when they wore the throwbacks on Thanksgiving a few years ago.

It's no secret that I am a huge fan of all the ACME Packers gear. If they did this, it would probably bankrupt me from all the merch I'd have to buy.

But it would be worth it, damn it.

Big fan of the throwbacks. I don't think there is a throwback uniform in the NFL that isn't better than the current design - maybe the super old brown Broncos uniforms, but the Orange Crush unis are great.

I could tell you like that Acme stuff. Remember the shirt you wore on that Ugly Mug way back when? As I recall, I was the only one who understood it :)

Go Pack Go!

Been advocating for the blue and gold once per year or once in two years for some time. Not exactly the 29' ones, rather the classic "cape" ones.

Didn't know you were on board.

FYI - Nick Barnett is chatting on NFL.com today, Monday at 4:30pm EST. Tune in to ask questions about the Packers defense!

I have never been a fan of this throw back uniform thing, in some ways just looks funny and takes away from the game.

I am also a huge fan of the old school Acme Packers gear as well. Lets hope they bring it back in some form next season. My personal favorite has to be my Don Hutson jersey. I will say I get a lot of comments from old timers when I wear that out in public.

I'm just chiming in to say that I LOVE that you used the word "merch". It sounds like some department store insider code...

On second thought, please ignore me, I'm delirious...I just finished re-watching the Packers-Cards playoff game...

Sorry, but I've never been a fan of that stuff. I happen to love the current unis and wouldn't want them changed. IOW, I don't like to be "thrown back".

This is awesome. These are my favorite old Packers unis on my "All Teams are not Created Equal" plaque. For some reason, I just dig the small numbers in the circle. It's so different than today's unis. The Packers have one of the most varied uniform histories in the league. I wish they'd do throwbacks every year, and cycle through as many of the oldies as possible.

I always remember the games where we wore throw-backs... A great thing and I'd love to have a throw back woodson jersey!

Whoa, whoa, whoa...the only Don Hutson jersey I've ever seen is hanging on the wall of the stair landing at the Pro Shop. I tried to buy it once, and I was laughed out of the store.

Where did you come across this treasure? I've been scouring the interwebs looking for one.

I love this idea...Sure it will make extra money for the team, but it will bring attention to the history of our team

I think this is a great idea, just as long as they don't outplay it, and they go with the black shoes like they had back then.
