More on the significance of the Packers choosing 1923 for their new alternate/throwback jersey: espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…
The Packers chose 1923 as their new alternate/throwback jersey because that was the first year they became a publicly owned team. Team historian Cliff Christl said it could be argued that was the most important year because selling stock saved the team.
That’s it for Day 2 of practice. Highlights: *Defense dominates 2-minute. * Nate Hobbs with a 3rd down PBU * Carrington Valentine INT off tipped Malik Willis pass by Isaiah Simmons * Omar Brown INT vs Taylor Elgersma * One hour and 54 minute practice
