Phew! Was afraid it was a RAIDERS and I'd have to offer all my Wood Dales and Ranch for it. :)

Man, you guys know how to bust balls. Why can't it be a Red or Blue MT. Why did you need to pick a Green Bay Packers MT?

Ohh!!! You must be a "transplant" living here in the Milwaukee area, huh?  For me, and 99% of the area's residents, a Packers MT is the ultimate grail MT.

I am a transplant and for the past 10 years I've been a resident and consider this my home. YES it's been my team since early 90's so it's also my Grail Grill......GO PACK GO!

But it was only on my Grail list for a very short time as I just joined and had no idea one even existed..

lol..... No its pretty much fortified. It's back in the box, I just needed to confirm the outside label wasn't wrong.

What an awesome score! Congratulations on the Packer 'Touch! 🏻

Closest I've got is a green wearing a yellow lid variant and vice versa.

Oh and by the box label I'm guessing EO code? 1995

Agreed. As a Packers fan, I know a guy with a sweet looking rival Lions black 22 MT that I've had my eye on. I got to see that one in person and the blue lions logo looks cool against the black kettle. They don't come up often.

This is LB's reply in another post about these grills:

I have the same but with the Detroit Lions logo, when I showed it to Weber this is what they said.

"This is an extremely rare 22" kettle. These special editions were never sold at retail, they were only for the official NFL tailgate party. There were only probably 8-10 made for each team. The person you bought it from would have won it during the tailgate cook off"

Obviously looking for a Glen Blue (who isn't?😂).

Looking for anything Happy Cooker, including any re-branded as Montgomery Ward.  I've amassed a nice collection, but I'm missing a few still.  Let me know if you can help a fella out🤞

I read that post just weeks ago. Amazing that so few were produced. You would think Weber would have capitalized by producing even a small run of 500 each team MT sized kettles. Instead they may have only held a contract for the smaller tailgating sized SJ's.

I know a lot of Packer fans that would give their small child just to own this rare NFL Edition Packer Master Touch. That doesn't really put a dollar amount value on it.  What's this NIB kettle I found really worth?  I know eBay would be the answer but it's not the place I'm headed with it.
Just 10 made of each NFL team, to me, it's priceless since they were never offered for resale.
  I've never unboxed  any other vintage MT so I can't compare it to a standard MT. The quality control on these NFL Edition tailgate cook off contest MT kettles must have been high priority at Weber.
