( CNN ) On Sunday the NFL 's Seattle Seahawks and the Green Bay Packers will face off in the NFC Championship Game . For the Seahawks , winning would give them the chance to go back to the Super Bowl and perhaps net another Vince Lombardi Trophy . High stakes to be sure , but officials in one Seattle suburb have taken pre-game rivalry to the next level by banning `` possession of and/or consumption of cheese or cheese flavored products . '' For those not making the connection between cheese and this NFL matchup , Douglas Schulze , the city manager of Bainbridge Island , Washington , spells it out in his executive order . `` On Sunday , January 18 , 2015 , the Seattle Seahawks opponent in the NFC Championship game will be the Green Bay Packers , aka Cheeseheads , '' the order states . `` Fans of the Green Bay Packers are frequently seen wearing obnoxious wedge-shaped foam hats painted yellow . '' It is `` due to this relationship '' between Packers fans and cheese that the ban was enacted . The ban only applies to employees at city hall and only on Friday , but Schulze has a plan for anyone who defies the ban and comes , pun intended , packing . `` I 'm going to arrive early , and we 'll have some type of cheese grater or shredder available so if anybody brings in cheeses or cheese products , we 'll have to dispose of them , '' Schulze told CNN affiliate KOMO . The ban may only impact a fraction of the town 's 23,000 residents , but it caught the attention of Green Bay fans almost 2,000 miles away . `` Insane , '' `` ridiculous '' and `` demonic '' were just a few of the adjectives thrown out by distraught Cheeseheads to CNN affiliate WDJT . `` They should never ban cheese , '' said one man `` We are going to own Seattle . '' Some proposed bans of their own , such as a boycott of Seattle-based Starbucks . But one Milwaukee radio station did one better . 94.5 the Lake will `` Say No To Seattle . '' That means no songs from Nirvana , Pearl Jam or Heart before the big game . The preparations are n't all about bans either . In the Bainbridge Island executive order , Schulze also calls for a `` Blue Friday '' celebration for all local government employees , who are encouraged to wear `` Seahawks jerseys , logo gear , team colors . '' But lest anyone get carried away , Schulze made it clear , in an interview with KOMO , to leave the Cheetos and Cheez-whiz at home . And do n't even think about sneaking in some on a party tray . But cheese lovers needing a fix may have one remaining option : Schulze said `` he has yet to scour the vending machines . ''
