It doesn't stand for Green Bay.

I certainly don't feel stupid for not knowing that considering no Packer interviewed knew it.

I mean in their defense I'm sure none of them grew up in Wisconsin and it's still the first letter of the city name. I would assume that they all assume it was for Green Bay.

In there defense if you asked the average person walking in Dallas wearing GB shite, good % of them probably wouldn't know either

I think this is more of a "which came first: the chicken or the egg". Graphic designers often invent back stories to sell their logos/designs to clients.

It would be naive to think it doesn't stand for both.

If they played out of Madison would their logo still be a G...no. It would probably be an M for Massive Meatheads Munching on Mozzarella or some other b.s.

This is actually one of those useless facts that I've been knowing for a while.

The origin and history of Steelers logo is even more complex. I'm sure there's plenty of fans, players and coaches that don't know it as well. At least as a fan I think it's very important to know things like this...at least one has some cred and doesn't come off as some bandwagon fan for the moment.
