If we hadn’t just spent a week in Florida, your “Packerville” staff would most likely be at Packers Fan Fest in Green Bay this weekend. But we’re keeping tabs on the activities from afar, and one thing that caught our interest was the announcement that the team will be wearing “throwback” uniforms in at least one game this season. They harken back to the 1929 season, when Green Bay won the first of its 12 NFL championships. Seen modeling the “new” look are current Packers Brad Jones, left, and Jordy Nelson, right. The helmets, which can’t be fully seen, will be solid dark brown to represent the leather helmets of that time.
And, to get back to our normal subject matter of sharing old Packers material, below we have a fine photo of the 1921 Green Bay team, which finished with a 3-2-2 record:
October 23 — Minneapolis Marines (Win, 7-6 @ Home)
October 30 — Rock Island Independents (Loss, 3-13 @ Home)
November 6 — Evansville Crimson Giants (Win, 43-6 @ Home)
November 13 — Hammond Pros (Win, 14-7 @ Home)
November 20 — Chicago Cardinals (Tie, 3-3 Away)
November 27 — Chicago Staleys [Bears] (Loss, 0-20 Away)
December 4 — Racine Legion (Tie, 3-3 @ Home [Milw.])
