Packers v. Cardinals, way back when
In honor of today's playoff matchup between the Packers and the Cardinals, here's a game photo of the two teams from the 1940s, when the Cards were still in Chicago and the Packers played their Milwaukee games at State Fair Park.
Do know wear, if it is possible at all, that you could buy a 1924 Packers Jersey? My grandfather played on that team and I'd love to buy one each for my dad, brother, and myself.
Welcome to the official blog of the Green Bay Packers Uniform Database, chronicling ninety-plus years of our team looking good while playing well. This started as a zine in 1994, moved online a decade later, and has become a longer-lasting project than anyone could have reasonably expected.

I don't know of any company which makes them, unfortunately. But you might try HR Derby - you may be able to custom-order one through them.
If you don't mind, I'd love to talk to you about your grandfather's experiences - stories from the period are rare beyond measure.
