Uni Watch Rankings 2015

Paul Lukas—Uni Watch blogger, ESPN uniform columnist and dean of sports æsthetics journalism—has posted his new 2015 NFL uniform rankings.

Given his well-known love of the classics, not to mention the colors green and gold, it should come as no surprise that the Packers continue to rank highly in his estimation. Not quite as highly as they did last year, when he put them at #2 behind the Chicago Bears.

I won't spoil the entire list for you, but will tell you where he puts our Pack: third-best in the league.

3. Green Bay Packers (-1)


Still the perfect autumnal color scheme for a fall sport. The Pack might have ended up one or even two spots higher in this year's rankings if not for some lingering ambiguity regarding their uniform set: They're scrapping their Acme Packers throwbacks and replacing them with a new throwback uni. No word yet on what that design will be or when it will be unveiled, so for now Green Bay's grade has to be considered a bit incomplete.
Check out the rest of the list, as well as video of Lukas explaining his top and bottom choices, on ESPN.com.

I like the Acme Packers throwbacks and hope they'll bring them back for one game each season. But the Green and Gold will always be the best uniform in the NFL. Go Pack Go!
