Shootin’ Hoops in 1963
Over at one of the best sites dedicated to sports uniforms — Uni Watch — we came across this great photo of the 1963 Green Bay Packers basketball team. Pro football teams often have squads in the offseason that play basketball for charity and goodwill, and the Packers were no different. Recently, Green Bay players had a team named the “Green Machine.” One would think that with all those multi-million dollar knees, the team would discourage such an activity. Looking at the photo above, we can see several starters and a couple of Hall of Famers who enjoyed another sport in the non-football months during those classic Lombardi years.
