Some Packers history I wasn’t aware of

1. Ripon Athletic so legit, you can go their website and neither the NFL nor Packers are promoted. They are just stone cold making apparel.

2. played football at Ripon college our jerseys too were made by Ripon Athletic.

3. I’m Ripon raised, but even I didn’t know about Ripon Athletic’s ties to the Packers until a few years ago. They’re in Berlin now but I love the history.

4. “I wouldn’t expect anything less from America’s smallest market team.” No. You wouldn’t expect anything less from America’s only PUBLICLY owned team. That’s the difference. It isn’t the size of the market that matters.

   Look at Buffalo and how the owners are screwing over the fans there with the new stadium as one example.

5. Then Nike outsources to fanatics, and all the shit you buy is made in the same low cost sweatshop and it all sucks.

6. Because Nike fucking sucks and their jerseys look and quality is trash

7. >Americas smallest market team

   Let me correct that for you:

   >Americas most beloved team worldwide

8. I remember when Nike came out with the new designs and the Packers decided to pass. It’s always a fun fact

9. I’m going from memory but I’m pretty sure they made this point at the time the Nike jerseys were coming in and they said their jerseys were designed by Lombardi and that was good enough for them
