(WSAW) - The Green Bay Packers will once again wear their 50s Classic Uniforms for their Week 9 matchup against the Detroit Lions on Sunday, Nov. 3.The 50s Classic Uniform is inspired by the team’s uniforms from 1950-1953, which was the second time the team wore green and gold in its history. The uniforms are all green, with gold numbers and stripes, matching green pants with gold stripes, and green socks.While the early 1950s were not a particularly successful time for the Packers on the field, it was the dawn of a very eventful decade off the field. It began with the departure of the team’s founder Curly Lambeau and ended with the arrival of Vince Lombardi. In the 50s, the NFL was growing quickly and gaining nationwide interest through television exposure. The Packers organization was at a turning point and a franchise-saving stock sale helped lay the groundwork for the eventual construction of Lambeau Field and set up the team to stay in Green Bay through today.The NFL’s third jersey program permits teams to have a third jersey that they can wear over a five-year period. The 50s Classic Uniform is in its fourth season, after debuting in 2021.Sunday’s game will also highlight the NFL Votes initiative, a reminder to fans that Election Day is coming up on Tuesday, Nov. 5.Ahead this season, the organization will highlight the ‘Salute to Service’ game when the Packers face the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12 on Nov. 24. In Week 13, the ‘My Cause, My Cleats‘ campaign will be highlighted to bring attention to causes Packers players are passionate about. During Week 16, the Packers-Saints contest will serve as the ’Inspire Change Game,' which will honor an award recipient for their community efforts during pregame.
