If they're going to change helmet design, go to the leather-colored helmets that went with the 1929 throwback uniform.  And go back to the 1929-sized numbers (yes, I know that violates the rules for having numbers big enough fot the TV people to see).
I think it would be neat for 1 game, but not for more than that. I think it's fun when they do the throwback uniforms, but there's no reason to change the regular uniform. Doing that reeks of desperation from an organization...like Minnesota and Jacksonville. I'm sure they will do some kind of alternate jersey for a game in the future, it's too good of a moneymaker. Colleges have that have been doing that recently seem to make good money off the alternate jersey sales.

I don't personally mind that look for a game here and there, I just think more yellow/gold needs to be included.  Maybe a green jersey, white pants with yellow/gold trim?

Let's rename the team the Edisons and have the helmet be a glowing light bulb. I don't mean a logo of a light bulb on the side of the helmet.  I mean the helmet would be a glowing light bulb.

Bears, Browns and Rams helmets are just stupid.  Take something iconic and slap a graphic on it instead.  

 

Anything with that phony ugly ass gold is XFL crap.  The yellow is classic.  "Gold", okay.

I think recent history has shown the Packers aren't changing anything, albeit for a throwback game or two. I'm fine with that. I am obsessed with Packer uniform history though. Check out this gold on gold combo from 1952.....

Just so everybody is clear, NONE OF THESE OPTIONS ARE BEING CONSIDERED OR DISCUSSED AS CHANGES TO THE BASE UNIFORM OR HELMET.

 

They are for an alternate to be worn once a year.  I thought NFL said something about an alternate for Halloween only but can't find the link on the line.

Kinda cool......

 

Just saw this on that site:

2010: New alternate uniform added, based on 1929 uniform, worn against the 49ers on December 5th: Navy jersey with navy numbers in large gold circle on chest, gold name and numbers on back. Canvas-colored pants, navy socks, brown helmet with gray facemask (to simulate leather helmet). The 1929 details have been updated to reflect current NFL uniform regulations: the circle, which was originally ~5 inches in diameter, has been enlarged, and the Reebok and NFL logos are retained in this uniform. 

NFL regulations require each alternate to have a 5-season lifespan, so no other alternate can be introduced until 2015. 

 

I noticed that the Pro Shop was discounting the Acme jerseys.  Wondering if they are planning on using a different throw back jersey next year?

The first thing that hit me was an old Eagles design when they had green 'wings' on a flat white helmet. Ugh!

 

If the world were cars, I'd consider myself a 55 Chevy. I love classic things, and love it more when traditions don't change. (Translation: I'm a dinosaur.)

So, like Tdog and many others, I'm resistant to change and hold sacred the "gold" with a white "G" design, and don't want to see it change. Ever.

 

With that said, if changes were to be made, and I have to be dragged into the 21st century screaming and kicking, there are some workable designs. The second helmet posted by bvan certainly more palatable that the (way too) white design. Some of the uniform designs that DH13 posted have some possibilities. But I'd be more apt to choose a combination other than what they have paired together. Some of those helmets/uniforms won't work under any circumstances!

If the point to all these designs is for a throwback uniform, I don't understand why we don't copy or mimic designs from the Lombardi era primarily. I think it would be a nice 'tribute' to not only Vince, but to Starr, Kramer, Thurston, and Packers from that era (living and deceased). And it would have to be every bit as marketable as any other design.
