The Green Bay Packers‘ week seven matchup against the Houston Texans will debut their new “Winter Warning” look. The highly anticipated matchup will have major implications on power rankings, and the Packers will be dressed to impress. The unique look is being dawned on not only the players but even the Green Bay Packers social media.
Green Bay Packers Debut New Helmets At Home In Week 7
As the Green Bay Packers near a critical week seven game versus the Houston Texans, they have been promoting a new look for the home team uniforms. The “Winter Warning” look debuts a new white helmet to the Packers’ uniform repertoire. The branding has permeated from the uniforms to the social media, as the Packers have altered logos to show off a white look. The uniforms have been received with high praise from fans, coaches, and players alike.
The Packers’ history with white uniforms dates back to 1938, when they began experimenting with the color. They used white jerseys intermittently throughout the late 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s before adopting white as the standard for away games during the 1960s. However, their venture into white helmets holds a unique place in their history.
Green Bay first introduced white helmets on September 30, 1956, during their home opener against the Detroit Lions. The uniform that day consisted of dark green jerseys, white pants, and green socks paired with the white helmet. This look continued throughout the 1958 season, a difficult year for the team, as they posted their worst record ever at 1-10-1. That season was the last before Vince Lombardi arrived, ushering in a new era of success for the Packers.
Green Bay Packers Coaches and Players Express Excitement For New Look
When asked about the uniforms and the energy Matt Lafleur made it clear how he felt about the theme. The head coach of the Green Bay Packers encouraged fans at Lambeau to embrace the all-white theme.
On Kay Adam’s show, she visited with rising star receiver Christian Watson, where he expressed his excitement for the Texans matchup. The uniforms were a selling point on the hype of the game, acknowledging how it feels to play when you look good.
The Green Bay Packers could use a boost from their uniforms as they face the 5-1 Houston Texans in week seven.
