The Green Bay Packers made headlines last summer when they unveiled an all-white alternative uniform.
This combination sported a white helmet for the first time in team history. It was first worn in the "Winter Warning" showdown against the Houston Texans, which ended in dramatic fashion, with a game-winning field goal from newly signed kicker Brandon McManus. The alternate look was worn again when the Packers visited Seattle for a 30-13 win late in the season.
According to SportsLogos.net's Andrew Lind, a new take on Green Bay's throwback uniform will be unveiled on July 23. According to Lind, the Packers will "reveal new throwback helmets and uniforms."
"While we initially believed the new helmets would be paired solely with their current 1950s throwback uniforms, it's worth noting the Packers have one jersey slot available and notably wore gold jerseys with green or gold pants that season as well," writes Lind.
The current throwback uniform references the 1950s with an all-green top and bottom accented with golden numbers as well as two stripes across the shoulders and one down the legs. When combined with a golden helmet, without the iconic "G," this uniform appears as a true departure from what fans usually see on game day.
Packers set for another big throwback uniform change in 2025
It has been rumored that the new helmet in the upcoming throwback could adopt an airbrushed look, like the one worn by the University of Illinois last October in a modern attempt to echo the leather helmets of the early 1900s.
With an open uniform slot available for the Packers, it is unclear whether the new helmet will be paired with a retooling of the current all-green throwbacks or if a new uniform, perhaps taking inspiration from the navy or yellow sets of the 1940s and 50s, will be announced.
It is an exciting time for uniforms within the NFL, with updates to old classics, new helmet combinations, and entirely new looks arriving across all corners of the league.
A new league rule kicks in this year that allows teams to wear alternate or throwback up to four times (up from three) during the regular season. This can create new opportunities for exciting rivalry clashes as well as bring some more individuality to regular-season games.
