    Who designed the Green Bay Packers team logo?

    Question #31235. Asked by Sahra. (Apr 07 03 11:17 PM)

    According to the guys who run www.packerinfo.com:

    Green Bay's Ray Antil designed the Packer 'G' originally at the request of his neighbour, good friend and golfing buddy, Vince Lombardi. Coach Lombardi specifically instructed Ray to design a 'G' in the shape of a football. Ray owned the rights to the Packer 'G' until his death in 1995, whereupon rights were transferred to a son.

    First and only helmet logo in team history, designed for Lombardi by equipment manager Dad Braisher and first applied to Packers headgear in 1961. After introducing the G, the team immediately won two world titles (1961-62), and five over the mark's first seven years. Borrowed by scores of high schools and colleges.

    In the "logo" section of the article on the Green Bay Packers, the logo "G" was created by GERALD "Dad" Braisher and not George "Dad" Braisher. Gerald Braisher was my great, great uncle, and the equipment manager for the Green Bay Packers for 20 years. He retired from the Green Bay packers in 1976 and prior to his death in 1982 he resided at the Union Hotel at 200 Broadway in DePere, WI, 54115. He is buried in Janesville, WI. The Milwaukee Sentinel from Friday, July 2nd 1982, the front cover of the sports section is an article of his life's highlights after his death on July 1st. This article lists his given name, Gerald, as well as verifies his 20 year career with the Green Bay Packers. This error likely stems from an article from October 30, 1975 in Ray Nitschke's Packer report, where he is on the cover and wrongly named as George. I assume the error occured because almost everyone called him "Dad" and not by his given name, Gerald.
