re: Spinoff Thread: Best Helmets

Green Bay's "G" logo originally was closer to a football-shaped oval, with an almost perceptible point on either end, much like a football. While UGA's "G" was a more uniform oval shape. Within a few years Green Bay's oval became more similar to UGA's, but the cosmetic difference is really barely perceptible and only when the original Packers logo is compared to UGA's side-by-side.

But the UGA "G" - whether inspired by Green Bay's "G" or not - obviously was close enough to make Dooley who was it's creator feel the need to seek Green Bay's approval....
