Summary

  • Green Bay on Tuesday revealed its NFL Rivalries alternate uniform for the Oct. 11 home game against Chicago, drawing sharply mixed reactions across X.
  • The design keeps the Packers' green-and-gold identity but shifts to a desaturated vintage green jersey, alabaster pants and helmet, and currency-style number detailing tied to the franchise's stock-certificate history.
  • Fan response skewed skeptical, with posts calling the look "mid," comparing it to a college uniform, and saying the team was "wasting fabric"; criticism also came from some Packers supporters.
  • The Bears matchup will be the clubs' 214th meeting, and the jersey is part of the NFL's league-wide Rivalries program with Nike, expanded in 2026 to NFC North and AFC South home division games.
