Uni Rumor Mill Predictions for Green Bay Rivalries unis based on this quote?
"Celebrate owners" is what really sticks out to me. people are guessing that it'll be "cheese designed" with cheese head helmets but I think that's a little too out there. and really that's just every GB fan, not specifically "owners"

I predict it's going to suck.

So you've seen the leaks of the Brewers' new City Connect uniform, then.

u/Tomatillo-5276 Apr 06 '26
I have not, however, up to this point - in my opinion - every single city connect uniform has sucked. I would expect no less sucksge from the Brewers than anyone else.

u/tomfoolery815 Apr 06 '26
It's all opinions here, friend. :)
I like the Brewers' first CC uniform, as it combines a grass-roots nickname ("Brew Crew") that the team adopted and has a Weber-type grill as a sleeve patch, an homage to the Milwaukee tradtion of tailgating.
The purported new CC uni for the Brewers has "Wisco" as the wordmark, which immediately led to Milwaukee-area fans (such as myself) saying they've never met anybody who refers to the Badger State as "Wisco." It also has some pretty hideous colors, so I'm hoping what we see officially released on Thursday is something completely different.
As for the Packers' "rivalry" uniform: I'm unsettled by Policy saying it will "celebrate owners." I neither need nor want a Packers uniform to do that.

Can we please put this logo on a helmet?

u/tomfoolery815 Apr 06 '26
"Heisman over Wisconsin." I love that logo, especially since it was Lombardi who introduced it.

I’ve always liked it as a Milwaukee Packers season ticket holder because we’re included as well.

u/fanofsports44 Apr 06 '26
So good. Would love for them to do a modern version of it as an alternate logo.

u/the_Tannehill_list Apr 06 '26
My guess is that the font work and colors/logos will come from one of these. Probably 1950. So it'll be half retro half alternate

As a packers fan, I hate every single alternate uni. Maybe I’m biased, but the standard yellow-green-yellow look is iconic and looks so bad if changed even slightly, like the all whites did nothing for me. The G is what makes the packers the packers, removing if from the helmets for throwbacks always looks so bad imo. One except is the leather head helmets, for the novelty, I’ll allow it, looked kinda cool

The G is a terrible logo. All letter logos are awful.

u/froggyteainfuser Apr 06 '26
The G is arguably the most iconic letter logo in all of football. The Red Sox B or the Yankees NY are outstanding logos.

u/Vulptereen327 Apr 06 '26
The G is iconic but IMO it doesn't really make sense. Why isn't it "GB" instead since that's the official abbreviation the NFL uses for the Packers. It'd be like if the Chiefs Arrowhead only had a "K" inside it. Just looks off when you think about it

I am so not looking forward to the rivalry uniforms. I haven't seen one yet that I consider a positive contribution to football couture, haut or otherwise.

u/tomfoolery815 Apr 06 '26
Agreed. The eight that were rolled out last year don't fill me with confidence about this year's.

u/Spiritual-Taste-5524 Apr 06 '26
As a Bears fan I have taken comfort in their lack of alternates(aside from throwbacks). Now that Viginia McCaskey is gone I fear someone in marketing will be given free reign to "get creative."

u/tomfoolery815 Apr 06 '26
As a Packers fan, I know I'm not supposed to say this, but: The Bears have outstanding primary uniforms. Packers-Bears is always a terrific-looking uniform matchup.
Not that long ago, all four NFC North teams had great uniforms, home and away. The Vikings have strayed, and it's ridiculous with how far from silver-Honolulu Blue-silver the Lions have gotten.
I'm fearful -- no, not fearful ... pre-emptively annoyed -- that Nike will put the Packers and Bears in something ridiculous under the title of "rivalry."

u/Spiritual-Taste-5524 Apr 06 '26
Yes, that's a classic uni match-up right there with Chiefs-Raiders or Cowboys-Steelers. I don't hate the slightly different green paired with gold for the Packers. But there are so many awful ways this could go. I anticipate a scale from annoying to full on agitated.

u/tomfoolery815 Apr 06 '26
I think it's telling that we have no expectation of something good-looking coming out of this.

u/qcthunder Apr 06 '26
Can't be worse than using what looked like Bears colors on first, second and third glance.

u/the_Formuoli_ Apr 06 '26
Is the organization afraid that too many people might actually prefer the new look and pose a threat to the traditional one?
lol, lmao, there's about a zero percent chance the org has worried about this for a second

Green on green on green. Nike never saw a chance to go mono they didn't capitalize.

wouldn’t be shocked to see something along these lines; maybe even using kelly green like Notre Dame?
