Why are Alabama fans talking about playing the Green Bay Packers?
The Green Bay Packers and the Georgia Bulldogs share a similar logo, which has resulted in some fans being confused by a recent announcement made by the Alabama football social media team.
On X, formerly known as Twitter, the Crimson Tide account shared a graphic announcing the date and kickoff time against Georgia for the 2024 season. The Bulldogs logo was displayed in white, as opposed to the traditional red and black that it’s normally viewed in.
At first glance, many fans mistook it for the Packers logo and it led to a fair amount of fans posting about their confusion.

Has this been a pressing question?
We'll finally learn the answer to the question of whether Bama could beat the Green Bay Packers https://t.co/Kh0b1EdFKh

It will boost the strength of schedule
I know you’ve gotta beat the best to be the best but scheduling the Green Bay Packers seems over zealous https://t.co/6j56ORsUwK

There are multiple options!
I’m surprised they’re letting Alabama play Green Bay. Or is it Georgia? Perhaps Grambling State? Maybe Goodland? https://t.co/869SRmvDMt

I knew Alabama was good but to put the Green Bay Packers on the schedule is a different story… should be a good game https://t.co/A4koz8rEgU

New name alert!
Seeing this reminds me of my parent's favorite story of how when I was little, I didn't realize Georgia was a college team and simply called them "The Red Bay Packers" https://t.co/ezp2sES0b0
