The Green Bay Packers will wear all-white uniforms, including helmets, during Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans.
Here is what you need to know:
Packers fans can participate
In addition, the team is asking fans to wear white for the noon game at Lambeau Field to create a blizzard-like effect in the stadium. White scarves will be distributed at the game.
Is their gear available in the Packers Pro Shop?
To support the effort, the team launched a Winter Warning Collection line of merchandise in the Packers Pro Shop, including white shirts, hats, caps and outwear, among other items.
Have the Packers worn all-white uniforms, helmets before?
It won’t be the first time the Packers have worn white uniforms and white helmets. The Packers first played around with white uniforms in 1938 and continued to use them off and on through the 1940s and 1950s. White jerseys became the standard for road games in the 1960s.
Vince Lombardi standardized the classic green and gold uniforms Packers fans are familiar with, including adding the iconic “G” logo on helmets in 1961, worn for the first time during an intra-squad game on Aug. 5, 1961.
