The NFL has found yet another way to boost jersey sales: inverted team colors.
Nike and the NFL have partnered to release what they are calling the “Inverted Legend” series of jerseys. It sounds this new attire is for retail purposes only (for now). The Packers version of this uniform series uses “Selective Yellow” as the base color and “Medium Jungle Green” as the secondary (i.e., instead of green and gold, it’s gold and green).
The jersey is available in Davante Adams’ No. 17 and Aaron Rodgers’ No. 12, with a price tag of $79.99.
The Packers have worn several throwback uniforms in recent years and also an all-white “Color Rush” combination, but never an all gold uniform like the “inverted” look.
Adams leaked a picture of inverted No. 17 on his Instagram account back in April 2018, causing speculation among fans whether this would replace the unsightly throwbacks.
After more than a year of anticipation, fans finally have their chance to get their own while the 1930s and ’40s throwbacks will stick around for at least another season in Green Bay.
