mjd77 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Is it just me or does the Bears "C" borrow from the elongated football shape as well? And for a team so close in proximity seems weird to be similar in approach. I thought they used a toilet seat as inspiration for that logo. I thought they stole it from the Reds who play in Cincy which I've been told is a toilet.Out of curiosity, who was it that used that logo first, the Bears or Reds?

illwauk Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I've always preferred the other Lombardi-era logo:So much better.Agreed... although I'm quite positive I've seen pictures of a minor league baseball team from Green Bay wearing a similar deisgn.

This cap is the same team, from a couple years later. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
