Wrong, idiot. Georgia as a university and as a football team pre-dated the Green Bay Packers. UGA's first football season was 1892. Green Bay's was in 1919, although it didn't join the NFL until 1920. Partial credit for SWAC, although that point could be argued depending on your point of view - the SWAC was established in 1920.
If you want to argue about the logo, here's an excerpt from Wikipedia:
The oval "G" logo was created in 1961 by Packers equipment manager George "Dad" Braisher. The team actually used a number of different logos prior to 1961, but the "G" is the only logo that has ever appeared on the helmet.[21] Although the Packers have granted limited permission to other organizations to utilize a similar logo, notably the University of Georgia and Grambling State University, the Packers hold the trademark for it.[22] Adopted in 1964, the Georgia "G"- though different in design and color- was similar to the Packer's "G". Then Georgia head coach Vince Dooley thought it best to clear the use of Georgia's new emblem with the Packers. <b>However, since its inception in 1961, the Packer's "G" has been redesigned several times and now looks like Georgia's original 1964 "G."[23]</b>
