ART OF THE NFL
This is another one of my paintings that is in the Celebration of
Super Bowl 50, a group Super Bowl Art Show (with three large-scale
football paintings)
Early on in their history (in 1919) , the founders of the
Green Bay Packers got money for their uniforms from the Indian Packing Company,
a business specializing in canned meat. Even after the company was bought by
another meat processor the Acme Packing Company they kept the Packers name and
called the team the Acme Packers. Though
the original sponsor of the team was the Indian Packing Company, it was under
Acme that the team joined the American Professional Football Association (soon
to be the NFL) in 1921
The Acme Packers, Green Bay Packers, painting is 4 feet b y 7 1/2 feet, acrylic
on unstretched canvas. (No stretcher
bars or frames.
The Super Bowl is being held in the San Francisco 49er's Levi Stadium this year
which is right down the road from the gallery.
