Are you ready for some retro football?

After an amazing weekend of exciting football (Go Pack Go), I have been inspired to lookup and tell a bit of the history of the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears.  The rivalry began with their first meeting on November 27, 1921 and has grown to be the largest rivalry in the NFL with 182 meetings, a combined 21 championships (including 4 Super Bowls) and  48 members in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.  This Sunday will be their 183rd meeting and the winner will go onto the Super Bowl.
But enough history let’s look at the vintage pictures and some of the vintage football items I've found on etsy.
