As collectors and fans across the country finalize their fantasy football lineups and settle in for another glorious day full of crucial NFL action, we thought now might be a good time to showcase the geographically grounded, landmark-laced City Limits insert from Panini America’s upcoming 2011 Plates & Patches Football set.
The unique chase sets many of the game’s top stars against a skyline or monument from their respective home city, bringing a welcome sense of civic pride to the football collecting arena. What follows is a sneak preview of just some of the cool cards in the set.

Why do the Packers use Milwaukee as the background?
I was going to ask the same thing.
My guess is that Green Bay doesn’t really have much of a skyline other than Lambeau Field
Ahhh, that’s the Milwaukee’s skyline. When I saw the card my first thought is that Green Bay has changed a LOT since I lived there. lol
Nice looking cards!
woahh these are sweet
very sick looking set…much better crisper background than last years set….
These look so awesome!! Are there signed versions or memorabilia? This is by FAR the best looking insert set ever!!!! Of course I favor the Ahmad Bradshaw, but they all look great. This is a set that I would like to piece together! Way to go Panini! Two thumbs waaaaayyy high!
Very cool insert set, love the colors.
