These uniforms are similar to throwbacks that Green Bay wore during the Aaron Rodgers era, using the same navy, gold and brown colors but offering a different design.
The new version is much better than the old version (of uniforms, relax).

The NFL used leather helmets from the 1920s through around 1950, when plastic became the primary material used for helmet production. While the Packers obviously can't make and use actual leather helmets now, they decided to try and at least recreate the design of a leather helmet instead of using a helmet with a traditional logo or number.
