"NFL Properties did show us the 1979 logo," he said. "But it was described as something the fans hated, so I tried very hard not to emulate it. You could say my concept was loosely based on that logo, if by 'concept' you mean a profile of a soldier with a flag coming off the back of his head.

We need to make Aaron and the guys look cool! Screw Vince whoever he was, Starr, Kramer, Nitschke and Hornung - they're the old loser Packers. They cheated and it was before the salary cap too.And then some genius said "Lets make the uniforms bright blue and put this new logo on both shoulders!"
