Plaudercafe » Green Bay Packers have respect for uniform tradition

Tradition trumped trendy for the Green Bay Packers when Nike came calling with the company's structurally altered football uniforms.To buy more Men Game Packers Jerseys with cheap price, you can visit packernfl.com official website.

But that doesn't mean the publicly owned franchise, founded in 1919, will not one day adopt Nike-suggested changes, a Packers spokesman said today.

"We've had that basic look for decades and we're going to maintain that look in honor of the tradition and history of the uniform," said Aaron Popkey, Packers director of public affairs."But we're open-minded and we're looking forward to working with Nike in the future on technologies they develop with the NFL."

The Packers were one of five teams -- with the Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, Oakland Raiders and Philadelphia Eagles – that declined any of Nike's innovations.

Raiders' spokesman Mike Taylor said, "Our owner has previously stated you have the Yankee pinstripes, you have the (Raiders') silver and black and you have the Dodger blue. I'll just leave it at that."

Spokespeople for the other three teams could not be reached.

As the league's uniform and on-field apparel supplier, Nike worked with the NFL's 32 teams to incorporate structural changes into the team's existing uniforms. Only the Seattle Seahawks chose to undergo a uniform makeover, a rarity in the league that allows a team to do so only once every five years. With its five-year contract with the NFL, Nike succeeds Adidas AG-owned Reebok, which held the contract for 10 seasons.
