This photo from Training Camp in 1987 comes to us from Jeff Ash via Uni Watch.
It shows defensive end Carl Sullivan wearing a helmet with an upside-down "G" logo!
It also shows us how cost-conscious teams would re-use old gear in practice. From 1984 through 1988, the Packers wore a gold stripe down the middle of the Braisher stripes on their pants. That means that the pants Sullivan is wearing are at least four years old.
I don't know what's up with the missing white helmet stripe on #73's shell. I don't know that I've ever seen one missing stripe.
