An interesting trend has emerged in the aftermath of Tuesday's "Rivalries" uniform release for the Green Bay Packers. Many fans of the team, who universally love the classic, traditional look of the Packers, thought the new alternates graded out as some variation of "fine." Many outsiders, who might not share the same love for the Packers' traditional home uniforms, saw one of the best alternate uniforms of the "Rivalries" collection.

Best rivalry uniform?

Guess where the Packers ranked?

From Dator: "I think this is one of the best

alternate NFL uniforms ever created. It’s a 10/10, no-notes situation. The colorway, the larger number, the font, the armbands — everything comes together to evoke both the history of the Packers, and modernizing the jersey to feel fresh. I honestly cannot wait to see these on game day, because they just look fantastic."

"Classic and simple"

Packers bringing us home. Kept it relatively classic and simple, which tracks. Like the font and love the number detailing. Colors are sharp. But that collar sure is clunky. pic.twitter.com/hCIhGnBwqr

Details matter

My god the Packers have outdone themselves with the details of this Rivalries uniform

“Delicate striping” and “weave pattern” throughout the helmet, jersey & pants? This is how you balance meaning AND a good aesthetic in a uniform https://t.co/0YCr9weuti pic.twitter.com/5Yg4zG4HuE

The jersey isn't for everybody

my official take on the Packers Rivalry unis is everything but the actual jersey looks fantastic

Clean, tight

These actually look kinda good, too. Packers tend to suffer from the same problem some of the other older teams do where they try to look vintage and just end up looking ass, but these ones look clean, tight. https://t.co/mua5QQGk7F

Worst EVER?

I actually think it’s the worst uniform of all time. No wonder @Nike stock is in the gutter.

Tied with the Bears?

1) Bears - superior football uniform
1a) Packers - ditto
3) Titans (nice balance A-B-B-A)
4) Vikings (good color evolution, but mono???)
5) Lions (meh)
6) Colts (stretching w/ mono-dark grey)
7) Texans (nothing better than mono-white???)
8) Jags (black pants look out of place) https://t.co/DoJwo9E7Lu
