Long time reader of your blog and figured I'd share one of my homemade packer creations during this packers down time.Here's the photos he sent me:
I've got a small section of my basement dedicated to Packers stuff. Among the pieces, i have plaques for the 1996 team, the 2010 team and a team of the 60s plaque. For years I've been hoping the packers or the NFL would honor/acknowledge the first 6 championships so all of them could be represented on my wall. Earlier this year, i stopped waiting and took it upon myself.
I searched the internet to find the highest resolution photo I could of each team, identified the players and created a design for two plaques (3 teams on each). I tried to be as historically accurate as possible (ex. reconstructing the graphic of the 1945 media guide cover for the second plaque). I then had the images printed on metallic paper and adhered them to some basic black plaques that I had re-purposed. The result, I feel, is a great tribute to those teams and really blends in with the style of the Healey plaques of the 90s.
Absolutely stunning. Here they are in context, hung with the commercially-available plaques honoring the 1960s teams:
Nailed it. The effect is perfect.
A real labor of love; you can see how much work he put into them.
This is an amazing project. I share Trevor's frustration with the NFL's ongoing pre-Super Bowl myopia, and admire his determination to make these himself. They are indeed a fitting tribute to those teams. Bravo, sir.

These are awesome. I have the same three plaques and was trying to figure if I would just get six 8" X 10" frames, but that minimizes the newer ones. Any chance to connect with Trevor and either buy another set or get hi-rea images? Great work! I would love to buy ones like this or get his advice on making them.
