Your 1959 Green Bay Packers

The 1959 Green Bay Packers team photo is our image for today. It was Vince Lombardi’s first season with the team, and this photo is the only one of the team that we’ve seen which does not have them posed in their football uniforms. It may also be the only team portrait with Lombardi and his coaches in it as well. One of the changes he made upon arrival in Green Bay was to require all players to dress “professionally” when they traveled. Looking at this photo shows that everyone listened.
