Towel wars
A Wisconsin towel maker is stuck smack-dab in the middle of the Green Bay Packers-Steelers Super Bowl tilt.

McArthur Towel and Sports, a WinCraft company, has been producing officially licensed sports towels for years, including the Steeler fans' beloved Terrible Towel, which the company began making in 1997. The hunk of yellow terrycloth has become Pittsburgh's battle flag and gets waved by fans at home and away games.

But company's president Gregg McArthur said he loves the Packers, and he's working on a Super Bowl towel for the green and gold, too.

McArthur said he's working on a new version of the "Titletown USA" towel, which the Baraboo-based company located about 135 miles southwest of Green Bay produced for the Packers' 1997 Super Bowl appearance. He hoped to have a design and a name approved by the end of the day Monday.

"I love our Packers," McArthur said. "We bleed green and gold in Baraboo. Right now we're working closely with the Packers to put together a product that will basically compete with the Terrible Towel. We've got a towel war going here between the Terrible Towel and the Packer towel."

Awesome, I think its a great idea. The towels would be the same goldish color and basically drown out the other teams rags.
and it would really piss off their fans to boot!

I've got one of these.

Anything yellow this time is going to look like Steeler garb, I hope they realize.

For the Bears game (Jan.2), they gave out yellow pom poms which was O.K., but I think they would still look like Steelers garb from a distance.

I was wondering about those long foam thingies they use at basketball games.

My all-time favorite was the home game they handed out yellow cowbells with a green Packer helmet. You even got a green ribbon to hold it around your neck. Now that was killer. The noise on defense was deafening. I lost mine, and you can't find anything like them anywhere in Green Bay, or anywhere else, for that matter.
