we forget the 1920s nfl in wisconsin (besides green bay meatpackers) also had the milwaukee badgers (borchert field on burleigh) the kenosha maroons...the racine legion ...the racine tornado...(superior wi rooted for the duluth eskimos) / @ milwaukee
@greencm you would never catch one of todays players playing a game with oldschool rules and no pads or facemask... that would require about 1billion dollars per player.... no players had more heart then the players you seen in this video..
Votechuy, the guys who didnt wear pads or masks, they were NO WAY near as fast or strong as today's players. Doesnt matter if their rules were more violent...if they played todays players with their rules......there would have been fatalities....image Ray Lewis and the 2000 ravens D taking on those packers...they would have ran out of stretchers.....
Lambeau wasn't the only one who took the Irish colors. The New York Titans were navy and gold for just that reason. Owner Harry Wismer liked the Notre Dame colors.
The switch to green and gold for the Packers, I take it, was Lombardi's idea.
Green was denied because Earl (curly) Lambeau (first head coach and QB of the Packers) played at Notre Dame under Knute Rockne in collage, and liked the colors of the irish.
The Packers are a real link to the NFL of the 1920s and small town teams like the Orange Tornados, Duluth Eskimos, Staten Island Stapletons, and Pottsville Maroons. It's still Green Bay after all these years, and will be Green Bay as long as there's an NFL. I'm not a Packers fan, but I deeply respect that.
The Packer uniforms were not always green and gold. Pre-Lombardi, they were navy with gold trim. Why the obvious green was ignored, I don't know.
That is not Autumn Wind playeing....it is Classic Battle. I love it! :)

If you see dudes playing pro football without a facemask or shoulder pads, I need to know nothing else. They are beasts.
