The Packers had worn an assortment of different uniforms in the 1950s, seemingly unable to find a design they liked—navy blue jerseys with faded gold pants; all-white tops and bottoms with a single navy stripe down the side of the pants; and recently, dark bluish-green jerseys with three gold bands on the ends of the sleeves. Lombardi had gone with dark forest green jerseys with gold and white stripes on the ends of the sleeves, white numerals, and gold pants and helmets.
