Early sketches for this stamp showed the legendary coach
diagramming football plays for an unseen audience, but
the artist and the art director soon agreed to highlight
Lombardi’s winning reputation instead. The two
“number one” hand gestures signify victories
by the Green Bay Packers in the first two Super Bowls. |
