[QUOTE="PackCrazed4, post: 544424, member: 421"] Ron Wolf and Bob Harlan attempted to do a huge makeover on the uniforms back in the '90s, then, during the 11th hour, they reneged on the deal. Here's what Ron Wolf said in an interview back then: "I never liked the yellow color in the Packers scheme," Wolf said. "NFL books say it's 'green and gold' but anybody can see it's a Michigan kind of yellow, of maize, which didn't sit well with me. "I put together a proposal to change Green Bay uniforms, replacing the yellow with a gold much like we see on Rams uniforms and helmets. There were some other changes but I wasn't messing with the "G' on Packers helmets." Everything was approved by the seven-member executive committee that operates the Packers. All I had to do was give the go-ahead. "I repeatedly looked over drawings of the new Packers uniform, thinking I would soon be pulling the trigger on changes. But, after a little more thought, decided it just didn't fly. We needed to fix what was truly broken. What we really had to have was better people on the field." Oddly, while I was searching for a picture of the Harlan/Wolf proposed uniforms, I came across this interesting blog post (mildly put). It has a lot of opinion interjected into it, but the blogger showcases the uniform campaign and even a letter from Bob Harlan documenting his desired amendments with pictures and outlines.
