As part of the annual Green Bay Packers shareholders meeting held on Tuesday, team president Mark Murphy appeared to break news about plans for a new NFL initiative featuring "color on color" games, with both teams wearing their usual home uniforms on Thursday Night Football games airing on CBS and the NFL Network in 2015:

Murphy mentioned how the NFL is following the lead of college football, which has been successful.

The Green Bay Packers host the Chicago Bears on the Thanksgiving Thursday night, the game during which Brett Favre's retired number will be unveiled on the faÃ§ade of Lambeau Field.

UPDATE: Murphy said at a press conference following the shareholders meeting that the "color on color" games would be voluntary for NFL teams for the 2015 season but mandatory next season. The Packers will specifically participate in the "color on color" game next season in 2016.
