The Packers are dressing up as cowboys again, only this time it’s the rookie offensive linemen

Aaron Rodgers went denim-on-denim for the Welcome Back Luncheon. His rookie linemen? Western wear.

The Green Bay Packers have a lot of traditions. There’s the hallowed frozen tundra of Lambeau Field and iconic juxtaposition of an NFL monolith rising from the small-town feel of Door County. There’s the swapping of bicycles that precariously perches 250-pound men atop two wheels and strained frames every year at training camp.

And now, in the Aaron Rodgers era, we have the advent of the Western wear Packers. In an apparent homage to 2018, Rodgers’ rookie offensive linemen showed up to the Greater Green Bay Chamber of Commerce’s annual Welcome Back Luncheon looking like they just stepped off the ranch rather than a practice field (boots, sadly, excluded).

Rodgers wasn’t shy about his own throwback look. He wore a denim-on-denim Canadian tuxedo and bolo tie that harkened back to the looks he brought to Lambeau in 2016 and 2018.

Sadly, the rest of the roster failed to follow his lead. Aaron Jones donned a simple polo shirt to accept his Community Service Award at the event. David Bahktiari, fresh off his return to the field, looked disappointingly normal.

Dressing up for the Luncheon is another Rodgers quirk, but one more relatable than ingesting hallucinogenics or purifying his body with a 12-day cleanse aimed at basically clearing everything but the bones, organs, and blood from his system. His first-year linemen don’t seem especially thrilled about it, though.
