Johnny Gordon, my best friend when we were kid, designed the original "G." He also did the cover illustration for my Johnny Blood book.
How did that come about? Who reached out to him from the Packers regarding the design? Was it Lombardi? I'd be curious the origins of the iconic G...as well as perhaps any other ideas he may have had for a helmet logo?
