  1. 1951-53: Tan, green stripe
  2. 1954-57: Yellow, green stripe
  3. 1956-58: Plain white helmet with dark green stripe
  4. 1959-60: Plain yellow helmet with green-white-green stripes

1961-79

There are only two types of pocket pro styles for the Packers, and the only difference between them is the color of the facemask. This version has a grey facemask and is in the Throwback Series 1, Throwback Series 2, Throwback NFL 1969 2-bar, and Throwback 2-bar sets.

1980-present

In 1980, Green Bay changed the facemask to a green color. This style helmet is in the traditional, revolution, and speed sets.
