Packers Opt for All-White ‘Winter Warning’ on SNF as Steelers Unveil 1933 Throwbacks

Green Bay’s switch adds a visual twist to a nationally televised matchup that spotlights Aaron Rodgers against his former team.

Overview

  • The Packers confirmed they will wear their all-white Winter Warning alternates in Pittsburgh, marking their second use of the set this season.
  • Pittsburgh will debut its 1933-inspired throwbacks featuring a matte gold helmet with a black stripe, gold jersey with bold white front numbers, a city crest, and beige pants.
  • The game is Sunday Night Football on NBC, drawing national attention for Aaron Rodgers’ first meeting with the Packers.
  • Observers have speculated the Packers chose white to avoid a gold-helmet look against the Steelers, which would have echoed a 1954 all–yellow-helmet matchup; the team has not stated this as the reason.
  • Green Bay is unbeaten in games wearing the Winter Warning uniforms, while reaction to the Steelers’ fauxback has ranged from uniform-analyst praise to fan criticism.
