It was the Packers god himself, Vince Lombardi, who changed the uniform to the look that we see today. It was part of his overhaul when he arrived in 1959. The "G" logo was added to the helmets in 1961. It was designed by Dad Brashier, the longtime Packers equipment manager. The team was so bad when Lombardi arrived, and since he turned a loser into a winner in his first year, I don't think anybody was going to question the switch at the time.
There is always opposition to any proposed uni change since. I'm suprised that it didn't change during the Packers' dark ages of the 70's and 80's. You'd think that someone would have wanted some new karma back then.
