The Packers' 'Rivalries' uniform features a desaturated vintage green jersey paired with alabaster pants and a matching matte helmet. The design draws inspiration from the team's unique status as a publicly owned franchise, incorporating elements reminiscent of the Packers' stock certificates. Notable details include engraved-style numbers modeled after currency lettering, an interlocking 'GB' logo on the chest—a nod to Vince Lombardi-era gear—and the rallying cry 'Go Pack Go' on the back of the helmet.
