I think I saw more Packers in long sleeves than Niners! Vince Lombardi would never have approved of that!!!

I think the 85 Bears started it. No way Hampton..Singletary...The Fridge..were going to wear long sleeves.

Uhmmm ..... Sorry to be the mythbuster here, but below are photos from the 1967 Ice Bowl, the Packers, coached by Lombardi in the dark jerseys ..... and all of them (that I can see anyway) are wearing long sleeves. (Of course, the Cowgirls were too.)

Trivia addendum:

During this game four fans had heart attacks in the stands. Nearly two dozen were hospitalized and treated for exposure in minus-45 wind chill temperatures. One fan died.

I’m sure you go out in 20 below wind chills without protection, and your young kids, too, if you have any. Wouldn’t want them to be wimps and sissies, now would you.

Lombardi had huge heaters by the bench for players in the Ice Bowl. What a wimp.

Under Armor makes some incredible tight fitting shirts and underpants that are labeled Cold Gear when you are in the cold or Heat Gear when you are in extreme heat.

I combine them with a Simms undergarment, and they can keep the cold out. You need a good cap or ski mask type to keep your body heat from escaping out your scalp.
