Style + NFL // GREENBAY GIRLFRIEND

PACKER ZEST

Brain is fried, but will attempt intelligent copy.

Recently Dave Damesheck instigated THE GREATEST UNIFORM OF ALL TIME poll, the result of which still baffles me, but another thought for another time.

It really got me thinking about the variety of unusual colour schemes that are used on uniforms in the League.  The bold block colors, symbols of power, designed to instill fear into the heart of the opposition and set every fan's heart racing. Granted some teams struggle to put this into effect more than others (note the Seahawk's rash-inducing neon strips with grey detailing. GREY AND NEON. Sigh.)

So without further ado: a merger of two worlds - NFL Uniform inspired outfits. 

Naturally I had to start with the Greenbay Packers: the big fuck you to pastels. Their bright yellow and forest green home colours scream COME AT ME BRO. I wanted to keep the brightness and virility of this delicious uniform whilst rendering it into a feminine style. 

I love to jump my look between manly and girly, so it felt like an exciting & natural segway.

Personally, I'm keen for this and really thinking about styling the other great uniforms, including throwbacks?

I hope you enjoy & find it interesting, what do we think, more?

Any one follow the NFL? What teams do you support?
