The classical massless SU(2) field theory has an infinite number of gauge equivalent representations of the vacuum. We show that among these there exists a center vortex representation with some similarity to the quantum vacuum of the same theory. This classical perturbative SU(2) vacuum consists of a lattice of center vortex pairs combining to triviality. However, this triviality is broken by perturbations, for example by adding a mass term, or by considering the electroweak theory where the Higgs field does the breaking, or by quantum fluctuations like in QCD.
