There it is :)

Just like Green Bay 1961 versus Green Bay 1980. Different enough that it had to be registered twice.

The concept of the oval G appeared first with Greenbay. UGA took that concept and changed it. Greenbay then updated their logo to look more like the UGA version.

The original Greenbay and UGA logos are very similar. So similar that a lawsuit over the trademark would certainly fail if UGA filed one. UGA therefore is licensed by Greenbay to use its logo due to how similar they are.

UGA didn't steal or borrow anything.

A blog? You gt this from a blog? Nice work!

And did you go down to see the drawings of the "G"s? You see how they are not exactly the same> So, go get some real information instead of somebody's opinion that got it from somebody elses opinion.

That's like saying you didn't plagiarize because you rearranged the sentence structure.

Plagiarism is use without permission. UGA had permission to base the first UGA design on the Packers old design. Later, the Packers copied UGA's updated design. Great art builds on great art over and over.

Does this shock you about an under achieving wanna be athletic program




UGA has 38 NC's (probably 39 after 2nt)and 2 probably 3
This year.AU has a grand total of 16 and ZERO since 2010...sorry,Equestrian doesn't count and isn't recognized (we have 6 of those BTW)

So ZERO NC's in almost EIGHT years with ALL that money Jay Jacob's spent.No wonder you fired em and put a figuerhead/recruiter in his place.Might as well let the big money boys run things again.

You're not in the minority, not even UGA or Packers fans think it actually looks "cool"

UGA copied GB's logo because it is a good logo. End Thread


3$PN did a college football logo recognition quiz nationwide and even with the black and red coloring people still said Green Bay when they were shown it.

So it is pretty simple to get a well known logo, then when you do something like make the CFP, people will remember them now for the next 37 years!

Not sure where you got this. Oh. Another Auburn fan making things up out of thin air. Never mind.

Because the American public is so smart? They elected Barack Obama as President. Twice.

Unlike LSU who they forget instantly?

Out of curiosity...how about a link to that quiz? I'd like to take a look.

SEC Championships =/= National Championships.

Also, UGA helmets = Green Bay helmets.

Meh. Let's face it. Bulldogs and Tigers are two of the most common mascots in the country, so neither team is steeped in originality.
