Green Bay Packers new uniforms

The Green Bay Packers have added an alternate color scheme to their uniform choices.

The new uniform is similar to those which were worn by the team in their first 10 years in the NFL.

Although the uniform hasn't been finalized yet, the uniforms worn by the Packers in that era consisted of a plain navy blue jersey with a gold circle in the middle which contains the players number in blue. The pants and helmet from that era were khaki.

The new uniform will be unveiled during Fan Fest at Lambeau Field Atrium on Friday.

Packers Win 8th Straight "Clicks for Cans"

By Jay Sorgi

MILWAUKEE - The 12-time NFL champion Green Bay Packers are now the eight-time champions in the online Clicks for Cans contest.

18,000 cans of soup will find their way to Wisconsin food pantries after Packers fans out-clicked Jacksonville Jaguars fans in the online contest.

It's the 8th straight year the Packers have won the competition.

The contest sponsored by Chunky Soup had the packers match up in 17 regular season "games."

They won them all before taking a set of playoff games against the Bears and Saints and the championship triumph over the Jaguars.

Packers' Seek Groups to Get Money from Sale of Orange Caps

 

The sale of orange Packers caps raised more than $100,000 for hunger relief, the Packers organization said Monday, but who should the money go to?

The Green Bay Packers are now taking applications for hunger relief organizations serving Wisconsin to receive those funds.

The Packers hope to split the money among 25 to 30 organizations. Beneficiaries will be announced in late February.

The "Hunting Down Hunger" caps were the latest in a series of fund-raising Packers caps, starting in 2005 with pink caps for breast cancer groups, inspired by Deanna Favre.
