mafiaman Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Unpopular opinion: I have always felt that having just a G on your helmet or jersey when you're Green Bay makes about as much sense as having a solo N on your jersey, helmet, or hat if you're a Giant, Met, or Yankee. Same rule applies to S for San Diego or San Francisco or L for Los Angeles.Ultimately I agree but you can argue one difference..."New", "San", and "Los" are the generic parts of those city names, while "Bay" is the generic part of Green Bay. So the G would be more like a Y for York, F for Francisco or, A for Angeles. Which is just about as bad anyway.That reminds me of Magic Johnson era MSU jerseys saying "State".How about a T for Tampa Bay then? When I hear "State" and college basketball, I think of 1979 Michigan State too...along with 1983 North Carolina State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
