The clothing is almost entirely green, with gold numbers and gold stripes, similar to the jerseys that were worn in 1950. In those days, green was a Kelly hue and the team alternated between wearing it with green or gold pants. This alternate jersey, which is the traditional green color of the Packers, will be worn with matching green pants with gold stripes, and green socks as well.
“The 1950s were one of the most exciting times in our organization’s rich history, bridging two of the best times in professional football,” said Packers president and CEO Mark Murphy. With the NFL growing rapidly, this period set the stage for the construction of Lambeau Field and for the success of the team in the 1960s and beyond. We hope our fans enjoy celebrating our history with this new alternate kit. “
The collection 50s Classic is now available for fans to purchase at Packers Pro Shop and includes the jersey 50s Classic along with a new line of varied clothing that includes t-shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, hats, helmets, coffee mugs, glasses, among other things.

How true was this statement? This Wednesday, Rodgers himself said that he was very close to never playing in the NFL again.
“Going into the weekend before training camp it was 50/50,” Rodgers noted on the podcast. Dan Le Batard & Friends, via Jordan Dajani of CBS Sports. “I don’t care if people don’t believe that. It’s true. There were some things that got me to 50/50 for sure, and you know, I spent a couple of days in silence, meditation, and contemplation and I really felt like I had to go back. There are a lot of growth opportunities and interesting things in Green Bay and that seemed like the right thing to do. “
Consequently, this 2021 will be the sixteenth campaign of the current NFL MVP with the Packers And surely his mission is to raise another Vince Lombardi. In 2020 Rodgers completed 70.7% of his passes for 4,299 yards, 48 TDs (career high), and just 5 INTs.

Grant Delpit aggravates his hamstring injury
For this campaign the defense of the Browns is destined to be one of the best in the NFL. However, there is something concerning. After missing two weeks of training camp due to a hamstring injury, this Wednesday the safety Grant Delpit He returned to training, but his return was very brief. Delpit had to leave the session after exacerbating his injury.
This should be concerning for Cleveland as Delpit, who was a second-round pick for the Browns in 2020, is having a hard time staying healthy. Last year he suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon during training camps, so he missed the entire season, and apparently this season is on a similar path.
Prior to yesterday’s practice, Delpit had commented, through Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle Telegram, who was preparing and working hard every day, with the aim of not being left behind in the team’s work. Unfortunately, given the timing of the injury, it is highly unlikely that he will be able to return to the field of play in the foreseeable future. Will he make his professional debut this 2021 NFL Season or were the Browns wrong to select him last year?

One of the controversies bigger for Broncos This year is to define who will be his quarterback for the 2021 NFL Season. With the arrival of Teddy Bridgewater to the team last April, Drew Lock his position as holder was no longer guaranteed. However, head coach Vic Fangio said Wednesday that he is nowhere near naming the starter for Week 1 of the regular season: “Pretty close, you know, we have information on the way, okay?” , via Troy Renck of thedenverchannel.com.
Fangio’s statements come only two days after commenting that “it is possible” that he designates the starter after the second preseason game of the Broncos that will be this Saturday. Last week it was Drew Lock who started the first game, and he took advantage of it by completing 5 of 7 passes for 151 yards and 2 TDs, while Bridgewater, in relief mode, completed 7 of 8 passes for 74 yards and 1 TD. However, this coming Saturday, Teddy B will be the one to start.
Therefore, after a starting game for each respectively, it is very likely that we will know who will take the reins of this team’s offense after the Broncos’ meeting against the Seahawks. Who should stay as Denver’s QB1?
