Packers throwback uniforms: Team pays tribute to leather helmets with fun, 1923-inspired jerseys
The Green Bay Packers are going all the way back to 1923 in 2025. The team unveiled new throwback uniforms Thursday which pay homage to the franchise's first season as a publicly owned corporation. The team teased the new throwbacks in a hype video Thursday. Instead of green and gold, the jerseys will be blue and gold, similar to the 1937-48-inspired jerseys they've worn in the past. And if you find that a little too boring, well, take a look at the team's helmets. Yeah, those are leather-inspired helmets. For very obvious reasons, the NFL is not going to allow players to actually wear leather helmets in 2025, so the Packers are doing the next best thing. With their 1923-inspired jerseys, the team is adopting a leather-look on its helmets. The helmets are fully hand painted, including the faux-stitching. As for the actual uniforms, the team will wear a primarily blue jersey with gold numbers and stripes. The team will wear tan pants and navy socks to complete the look. Though the team unveiled the uniforms Thursday, it did not reveal when the Packers would wear them during a game. The team merely teased they'll be worn during a game at Lambeau Field this fall. It added that it would announce the date of that game in the coming weeks. In the earliest years of the franchise's existence, the Packers' main jersey colors were either blue or gold. The team didn't introduce its iconic green until 1935. Between the 1940s and 1960s, the franchise alternated primary colors on their jerseys. But in the 1970s, the team adopted the green jerseys fans are more familiar with today.

Packers reveal 1923-inspired throwback uniforms for 2025 season
The Green Bay Packers revealed new throwback uniforms inspired by the team's look from 1923 that will be worn during the 2025 season. The "1923 Classic" uniforms feature an airbrushed, faux-leather brown helmet -- the first of its kind at the NFL level -- and navy blue jerseys with gold numbers and stripes. The Packers went 7-2-1 and finished in third place in the NFL under coach Curly Lambeau during the 1923 season, the first season in which the team was publicly owned and operated. The Packers have not announced which game the throwbacks will be worn, but this is a home uniform to be worn at Lambeau Field. Here is Jordan Love in the throwbacks: More on the throwbacks below: Fans can shop the look here: The Packers will be back on the practice field on Thursday as the first week of training camp rolls on in Green Bay.
