A couple posts down I mentioned how I thought as the Packers' away uniforms resemble the Cowboys home, we should mix it up a bit - retro or whatever. Do something different. Check it out:
Change-Up: Packers To Wear White Jerseys In Dallas
With eight straight losses at Texas Stadium, the Green Bay Packers certainly are looking to change their luck on Thursday night. Maybe a change of clothes will help.
Unlike in any of those eight defeats to the Dallas Cowboys between 1993 and 1999, the Packers will be wearing their white jerseys on Thursday in the much-hyped meeting between the NFC's two best teams, both 10-1. The Cowboys, who traditionally wear their white jerseys at home while the visiting team wears its colored ones, will instead be wearing their alternate uniform that features a blue jersey with white shoulder trim. Dallas' alternate uniform also includes a white helmet, rather than the customary silver helmet, with the blue star. If the home team, which controls its choice, wears a colored jersey, the visiting team brings white, and vice-versa. The Packers have worn their green "home" jerseys in all their recent visits to Texas Stadium. The Packers are 5-0 on the road this season, wearing white each time. They are 10-3 on the road in Head Coach Mike McCarthy's two seasons and have worn green on the road just once, in a victory at Miami last season.
So, the jersey that we're 5-0 in on the road - the white...the color we'd normally wear in Dallas but can't 'cause Dallas chooses to where white at home - is the color we're wearing 'cause Dallas is choosing to change it up - play with our minds - and where blue. Got it - it took me a while.
Like putty in our hands. Oh - apparently Charles Woodson, our outstanding corner back, is not playing due to an injured toe. Not good. He's the Heisman winner from Michigan who played for Oakland for years, remember?
