GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Monday’s presentation at Lambeau Field was both a historic event and a history lesson.
There will be a lot of both around the Green Bay Packers' home over the next 16 months.
On the first of what will be many occasions to celebrate 100 seasons in franchise history and 100 years of football in the NFL’s most unlikely place, the Packers unveiled a logo that will adorn every players’ jersey this season. They also announced myriad events leading up to the team’s 100th birthday, on Aug. 11, 2019.
But to appreciate it all, there was a story from team historian Cliff Christl that had to be told.
