"The Green Bay Indians" ??
The team's name reportedly was offered to Curly by his girlfriend Agnes Aylward after a pickup game; Curly had wanted to call the team "The Green Bay Indians" to respect Indian Packing's purchase of uniforms for the team; so Agnes simply blurted, "Well, for heaven's sake, Curly, why don't you just call them The Green Bay Packers!" The team's naming rights were sold to the Acme Packing Company, and the team remained Packers.[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

kinda of a cheesy name for such an honored franchise throughout the ages.I still remember back 30 years ago i think,they were tossing around the idea of changing the uniforms and helmet logo,glad it didnt happen.

Acme is a great team. I wish we wore those uniforms in November and December games exclusively.
