GREEN BAY – Cliff Christl wasn't wrong about the color of Johnny Blood's uniform. He just wasn't right yet.
The uniform on a statue of Blood in the Packers Heritage Plaza in downtown Green Bay was originally painted blue, which Christl concurred with mostly because he didn't have time not to.
"I had about 24 hours to make a decision," Christl said of the statue. "I thought, 'I don’t know enough yet to say they weren’t (blue),' even though I had my doubts. So I said let’s go ahead and paint it blue.
