To all those who scoff the idea of having an advertisement on a Packers jersey, I'm with you.
Never in a game would I ever want to see a wine cooler ad, insurance firm or some other logo besides the "G" on a player's uniform or helmet when the beloved Packers are in action.
I don't want to see the NFL go the way of the English Premier League (and most other soccer leagues) and have the Chicago Bears with a big Bank One logo replacing the "C" battling the Detroit Ford Focus Lions.
But we've been here before.
What? What in the name of Vince Lombardi are you thinking, oh boneheaded Packers Radio Network reporter?
I'm saying the Packers have had sponsors on their uniforms before.
You don't think so? What about this?
Yep...some of the very first Packers teams had "Acme Packers" stuck all over them. The company that gave the most storied franchise in the NFL its name advertised "Acme Packers."To my knowledge, this company no longer exists, and if they did, I don't think they'd ever pony up the kind of cash the franchise would want for a game jersey.But if the Packers ever did have to go to a corporate sponsor for a jersey, this is the one I'd want.
