If you are on Twitter or Facebook you already know that Travel Wisconsin, the State Tourism Bureau, has changed it's logo to a mitten that has the shape of Wisconsin. In fact, they recently changed the original brown mitten to a green and gold one, in light of the Packers success.
What you may not know is that many people in Michigan are quite upset about this. They believe that their state, not ours, looks like a mitten and that Wisconsin has taken their identity. Many news stories and blogs have been showing up about this issue. Here's a selection of them, from both sides, so you can decide where you fall on this mitten state debate.
