[QUOTE="Travis Duncan, post: 392369, member: 5142"] [FONT=Georgia][SIZE=22px]Throwback Sunday[/SIZE][/FONT] The Packers will be donning their 1929 throwback uniforms on Sunday against the Rams. Below is a look from last year's game against the 49ers in Week 13. The actual circle with the number is enlarged from what was actually worn in '29 because the NFL mandates a certain size for jersey numbers. The brown helmet is meant to simulate the leather helmets which were worn in that era.
