NFL regs allow each team to wear the Throwbacks some number of games per year.

My recollection (unconfirmed) is that every team get a home game and an away game where, if they choose, they can wear their approved ancient garb.

that it makes the TEAM look like they don't match!

Otherwise they're ok I guess.

I'll take the old ones though. I like identifying teams by colors.

if they want to do retro I'd prefer they go with the 60s uniforms. At least those were gold and green.

packers like every other pro sports team is a business and the sale of jerseys etc is just more revenue.

now you can buy even more versions of your favorite players shirt.

alas we are all but a huge herd of cows ready to be milked
