ACME Packers - Old Time Team
As many of you saw (and heard), I have a Bruce Watts Lambeau Field (below). I'm a huge Packers fan and wanted kind of a signature field that had the same look and feel as Lambeau but was easily portable, etc.
I've always had the idea to do an ACME Packers all-time team to pay tribute to the uniforms and squad that joined the league in the early 1920's. They were blue & gold as Lambeau was a Notre Dame alum (same guy who built Notre Dame stadium built the original Lambeau too).
Originally, I contacted Chris Fields to design a leather helmet and thought I'd do it myself. However, once I saw the Sid Luckman that he entered in the contest, I knew that anything I did wouldn't touch the authenticity that he puts into his work. I should receive the squad this week but Chris was kind enough to send me pics of the defense...
They'll definitely be at the Canton event...
This is a picture of the defense...offense pics coming soon. I can't wait! Unbelievable job!
