Color scheme[edit]

I'm changing the color scheme of this template from the kelly green and gold of the 1936 template to navy and gold, as those were the actual colors worn during the period. The Packers switched from kelly to navy in 1937[1].

The Packers did have a white jersey with dark green (not kelly) numbers (an updated version of which was worn for the 2001 Thanksgiving Throwback), but the primary jerseys were navy blue with gold yoke, as seen in this picture of the 1939 World Championship game[2].
