What Packers uniform number has previously been used by only one player in the team's history until this year?
an aside. I was contemplating the Lacy weight issue non-story yesterday and came up with an acronym for such stories: DEFASS - Dumb Excuse For A Sports Story.
use freely, no charge and TGIF!

#1 it is. Easy but I just learned it the other day.
Alex Gillett, WR, is wearing it in training camp for the first time since Lambeau wore it.
your avatar makes me thirsty!
I just took a wild ass guess. Yeah my avatar is what my Friday night is going to turn into. 
I was contemplating the Lacey weight issue non-story yesterday...
I always thought Lacey could have mixed in a salad or two...
It's spelled Lacy as in lazy with a C instead of the Z.
Tdog...really #7? Only Majik?
It's not #7.
Players who wore #7 since 1950
Chris Hanson 1999-1999
Jeremy Kapinos 2008-2009
Sean Landeta 1998-1998
Ace Loomis 1951-1951
Don Majkowski 1988-1992
Ingle Martin 2006-2006
J.T. O'Sullivan 2004-2004
Danny Wuerffel 2000-2000
What # did Jim Zorn wear?
Hell we had so many QBs pass through here in the '70s & early '80s that someone had to have been issued it. That phenomenon is now called The Bear Syndrome.
#2
Players who wore #2 since 1950
Mason Crosby 2007-2012
Either he switched his number or my source is wrong (shrug)
#5
Based on some misguided thoughts posted here....
3.14
Seems like as good a place as any to make an announcement.
After some hard work, dedication, perseverance, and disposable posts, I'm going to stop posting for a while. Or at least scale way, way back.
I've reached my goal of community rank, 69!!! Think I'm going to settle down and enjoy the view for a while.
Oh no you're not...
It is time. The Packers next Title chase is just getting under way and its no time for naps or scaling back
Sure 69 is thee awesome number, but this is the Mighty Green Bay Packers we're talking about !
Mis-read tdog's post.
I thought he said Alex Gilletts number (I believe he is wearing "7" now?)
My initial thought was #5
#1....good catch

68?!?!?!?! I feel violated. Next stop, 27!
Thanks for the memories 69. We'll always have this morning,
Bucky - those stats only go back to 1950 so...
I did find this - and I'm not buying the book
Finally, the entries for numbers 1, 2, 6, and 10 are "cheats." The subject of those chapters never actually wore that number on the field in a game. For Curly Lambeau (1), Charley Mathys (2) and Cub Buck (10), these were the numbers assigned them in game programs. The case for Vince Lombardi (6) is more complicated and is explained in the entry itself.
Fun thread. Would be fun to create an "all time Packer jersey" team. 1-99.
I'll start. #4. Dale Dawson from Eastern Kentucky. 1988. #85. Max McGee from Tulane. 1954, 1957-1967.
#66 - Nitschke. (picked the lowest hanging fruit there was)
Good idea. Let's get the "givens" out of the way.
14 - Hutson
15 - Starr
3 - Canedeo
92 - White
12 - Rodgers
91 - Noble (pretty much by default)
93 - Brown (Jolly wore it in 2006, but this is all Gilbert)
8 - Ryan Longwell
11 - David Beverly
13 - Chester Marcol
16 - Craig Nall
21 - Charles Woodson
22 - Elijah Pitts
24 - Willie Wood
26 - Herb Adderley
28 - Willie Buchanon
30 - Ahman Green
31 - Jim Taylor (kills me not to say Al Harris)
32 - Travis Jervey
36 - Leroy Butler
Looks like Cobb has one man to beat for #18. Smart guy on the jersey choice. Tobin Rote.
It's spelled Lacy as in lazy with a C instead of the Z.
Sorry, but this ones been sticking in my head all day. And I'm calling BS.
You don't run for 1,320 yards on 204 carries and average 6.5 yards/carry and 17 TD's in the SEC then destroy Georgia in the SEC Championship game and lay waste to Notre Dame in the BCS Championship because all you do is play Black Ops and eat Ding Dongs and have zero motivation and need mom to tell you to go run. C'mon man.
Maybe he's fighting demons after Katrina. You and I won't ever understand what he's been through. And maybe he'll never be a great NFL RB. We'll see. All I know. Based on what he's done. When a QB put's that ball in his hands something makes him go. He's got potential labels. None of them is lazy.
Had to cheat this morning.
63 - Fuzzy Thurston
64 - Jerry Kramer
65 - Mark Tauscher
68 - Gale Gillingham
71 - Santana Dotson
72 - Earl Dotson
74 - Henry Jordan (Sorry, Kampy!)
75 - Forrest Gregg
76 - Chad Clifton
77 - Mike Butler
78 - Bob Brown

81 - Marv Fleming
82 - Lionel Aldridge
84 - Carroll Dale/Sterling Sharpe dead heat
85 - Max McGee
87 - Willie Davis
89 - Dave Robinson
95 - Bryce Paup
Can't believe I missed the most obvious one!
7 - Timmy!
<-------------
Yeah, that's right, I got Matt Bowen>Willie Buchanon.
#79 IMHO belongs to Mr Hawg Hanner, 42 yrs a Packer, player, coach and scout.
I knew I could count on you!!!
