Our Second Peek at 2012

Another week, another bad loss in a preseason game. This one was at Lambeau, which means it was the first time the Packers took the field in their brand-spanking-new Nike home uniforms.

Looking pretty good. Again I'm glad that the Packers decided to skip Nike's fancy new templates and fabrics to stick with their standard construction.

You can see it even more clearly on this shot of backup QB Graham Harrell:

Here's a good shot showing the entire uniform:

Love those low-white socks. Gotta show a lot of green.

Interesting that I can't see any Nike jerseys on the spectators. And what's up with the gold outlined-numbers on the woman just to Jordy's left?

I've been noticing quite a few replica jerseys, specifically aimed towards women, which have gold outlines on the number.

Thoughts?

I don't remember seeing those, but it would make sense.

There have been these kind of fashion jerseys aimed at men, as well, but I think the idea is that women's jerseys are already adapted from the "on field" cut, they might as well play with the style as well.
