We knew the Green Bay Packers were changing up the throwback uniforms for the 2015 season. And without any fanfare, it appears they have arrived.

With the shareholder’s meeting taking place this morning, you know the Packers had to whip out something new in order to make those in attendance part with their hard-earned cash. This, apparently, was it.
The reason they probably showed up without any sort of announcement or fanfare seems pretty obvious. The Packers wore these very same throwback uniforms back in 1994 — an homage to the uniforms the team wore from 1937-49.
A pretty uninspired choice, if you ask us.
Now, the Packers haven’t announced anything, but if these jerseys magically showed up in the Pro Shop today, then the writing is on the wall. What we don’t know is if the rest of the uniform will change from what you see above.
If the pants and socks are different, then we suppose the organization could pretend these are “new” throwback uniforms instead of just a retread.
