The Packers have won 13 league championships, the most in NFL history, with nine pre-[[Super Bowl]] [[List of NFL champions|NFL titles]] and four [[List of Super Bowl champions|Super Bowl victories]]. The Packers, under coach [[Vince Lombardi]], won the first two Super Bowls in [[Super Bowl I|1966]] and [[Super Bowl II|1967]]; they were the only NFL team to defeat the [[American Football League]] (AFL) before the [[AFL–NFL merger]]. After Lombardi retired, the [[Vince Lombardi Trophy|Super Bowl trophy]] was named for him, but the team struggled through the 1970s and 1980s. The team's performance shifted after acquiring [[Brett Favre]] in 1992, beginning a new ongoing era which has been characterized by consistent regular-season success, with 23 playoff appearances and two Super Bowl wins in [[Super Bowl XXXI|1996]] under head coach [[Mike Holmgren]] and [[Super Bowl XLV|2010]] under head coach [[Mike McCarthy]].<ref name="a628">{{cite web | title=Green Bay Packers Coaches | website=Pro-Football-Reference.com | url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/gnb/coaches.htm | access-date=August 13, 2024 | archive-date=March 5, 2020 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200305205723/https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/gnb/coaches.htm | url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="q162">{{cite web | title=Green Bay Packers Playoff History | website=Pro-Football-Reference.com | date=January 14, 2024 | url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/gnb/playoffs.htm | access-date=August 13, 2024 | archive-date=December 20, 2016 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161220082023/http://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/gnb/playoffs.htm | url-status=live }}</ref> In addition to the most wins, the Packers hold the [[List of all-time NFL win–loss records#Combined win–loss records|second-highest win–loss record (.571) in NFL history]], including both regular season and playoff games.<ref name="y811">{{cite web | title=List of all the Pro Football Franchises | website=Pro-Football-Reference.com | url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/ | access-date=August 13, 2024 | archive-date=April 11, 2024 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240411000014/https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/ | url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="championships">{{Cite web |title=Super Bowls & Championships |url=http://www.packers.com/history/super-bowls-and-championships.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161127225651/http://www.packers.com/history/super-bowls-and-championships.html |archive-date=November 27, 2016 |access-date=December 12, 2016 |website=Packers.com |publisher=Green Bay Packers}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/gnb/index.htm|title=Green Bay Packers Team Encyclopedia|website=Pro-Football-Reference.com|access-date=January 25, 2021|archive-date=March 24, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190324190901/https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/gnb/index.htm|url-status=live}}</ref>
The Packers are longstanding adversaries of the [[Chicago Bears]], [[Minnesota Vikings]], and [[Detroit Lions]], who today form the NFL's NFC North division (formerly known as the NFC Central Division). They have played more than 100 games against each of those teams, and have a winning overall record against all of them, a distinction only shared with the [[Kansas City Chiefs]], [[Dallas Cowboys]], and [[Miami Dolphins]]. The [[Bears–Packers rivalry]] is one of the oldest rivalries in U.S. professional sports history, dating to 1921.

The Green Bay Packers were founded on August 11, 1919,<ref name="PackersTimeline" /> by former high-school football rivals [[Earl "Curly" Lambeau]] and [[George Whitney Calhoun]].<ref>Lambeau had played the 1918 season at Notre Dame under Knute Rockne and alongside George Gipp. He did not return to school the following year however due to illness which then led to the Packer's birth. {{cite book |last1=Names |first1=Larry D |editor1-first=Greg |editor1-last=Scott |title=The History of the Green Bay Packers: The Lambeau Years |volume=1 |year=1987 |publisher=Angel Press of WI |isbn=0-939995-00-X |pages=27–29 |chapter=The Myth }}</ref> Lambeau solicited funds for uniforms from his employer, the [[Indian Packing Company]], a [[meat packing industry|meat packing company]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Christl |first=Cliff |author-link=Cliff Christl |date=March 23, 2017 |title=The Acme Packers were short-lived |url=https://www.packers.com/news/the-acme-packers-were-short-lived-18677091 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180801221116/https://www.packers.com/news/the-acme-packers-were-short-lived-18677091 |archive-date=August 1, 2018 |access-date=August 1, 2018 |website=Packers.com}}</ref> He was given $500 (${{Inflation|US|500|1919|r=-2|fmt=c}} today) for uniforms and equipment, on the condition that the team be named after its sponsor.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Hendricks |first=Martin |date=June 3, 2009 |title=A name 90 years in the making |url=http://archive.jsonline.com/sports/packers/46741862.html/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180801221149/http://archive.jsonline.com/sports/packers/46741862.html/ |archive-date=August 1, 2018 |access-date=August 1, 2018 |website=Milwaukee Journal Sentinel}}</ref> The Green Bay Packers have played in their original city longer than any other team in the NFL.

[[File:Don hutson packers.jpg|thumb|180px|[[Don Hutson]] with the Packers; his jersey number was the first retired by the Packers (1951)|left]]
The arrival of the end [[Don Hutson]] from [[Alabama football|Alabama]] in 1935 gave Lambeau and the Packers the most feared and dynamic offensive weapon in the game. Credited with inventing pass patterns, Hutson would lead the league in receptions in eight seasons and spur the Packers to NFL championships in [[1936 Green Bay Packers season|1936]], [[1939 Green Bay Packers season|1939]] and [[1944 Green Bay Packers season|1944]]. An [[One-platoon system|Iron Man]], Hutson played both ways, leading the league in interceptions as a [[Safety (American football position)|safety]] in 1940. Hutson claimed 18 NFL records when he retired in 1945, many of which still stand.<ref name="b780">{{cite web | last=Stephenson | first=Creg | title=Don Hutson, the Babe Ruth of wide receivers and Alabama's greatest football player | website=AL.com | date=July 1, 2016 | url=https://www.al.com/sports/2016/07/don_hutson_the_babe_ruth_of_fo.html | access-date=August 29, 2024 | archive-date=August 29, 2024 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240829172514/https://www.al.com/sports/2016/07/don_hutson_the_babe_ruth_of_fo.html | url-status=live }}</ref> In 1951, his number 14 was the first to be retired by the Packers, and he was inducted as a charter member of the [[Pro Football Hall of Fame]] in 1963.<ref name="s530">{{cite web | last=Kruse | first=Zach | title=Uniform numbers retired by the Green Bay Packers | website=Packers Wire | publisher=USA Today | date=July 10, 2024 | url=https://packerswire.usatoday.com/lists/uniform-numbers-retired-green-bay-packers-brett-favre-bart-starr-don-huston-aaron-rodgers-curly-lambeau-ray-nitschke/ | access-date=August 29, 2024 | archive-date=August 29, 2024 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240829172744/https://packerswire.usatoday.com/lists/uniform-numbers-retired-green-bay-packers-brett-favre-bart-starr-don-huston-aaron-rodgers-curly-lambeau-ray-nitschke/ | url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="s323">{{cite web | last=Lea | first=Bud | title=Last of the Legends: Don Hutson one of a kind | website=Milwaukee Journal Sentinel | date=July 16, 1997 | url=https://archive.jsonline.com/sports/packers/206355991.html | access-date=August 29, 2024 | archive-date=August 29, 2024 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240829172701/https://archive.jsonline.com/sports/packers/206355991.html | url-status=live }}</ref>
After Hutson's retirement, Lambeau could not stop the Packers' slide. He purchased a large lodge near Green Bay for team members and families to live in. Rockwood Lodge was the home of the 1946–49 Packers. The 1947 and 1948 seasons produced a record of 12–10–1, and 1949 was even worse at 3–9. The lodge burned down on January 24, 1950, and insurance money paid for many of the Packers' debts.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/9669836/mysterious-fire-1950-saved-green-bay-packers-espn-magazine|title=Blaze of Glory|last=Fleming|first=David|date=September 27, 2013|access-date=December 9, 2014|publisher=[[ESPN]]|archive-date=February 7, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140207175756/http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/9669836/mysterious-fire-1950-saved-green-bay-packers-espn-magazine|url-status=live}}</ref>

===Vince Lombardi years (1959–1967)===
Former [[New York Giants]] assistant [[Vince Lombardi]] was hired as Packers head coach and general manager on February 2, 1959.<ref name="u913">{{cite web | last=Johnson | first=Chuck | title=Jan. 28, 1959: Packers Hire Vince Lombardi | website=Milwaukee Journal Sentinel | date=January 28, 1959 | url=https://archive.jsonline.com/sports/packers/164346156.html | access-date=August 29, 2024 | archive-date=August 29, 2024 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240829173922/https://archive.jsonline.com/sports/packers/164346156.html | url-status=live }}</ref> Few suspected the hiring represented the beginning of a remarkable, immediate turnaround. Under Lombardi, the Packers would become ''the'' team of the 1960s, winning five championships over seven years, including victories in the first two [[Super Bowl]]s. During the Lombardi era, the stars of the Packers' offense included [[Bart Starr]], [[Jim Taylor (fullback)|Jim Taylor]], [[Carroll Dale]], [[Paul Hornung]] (as halfback and placekicker), [[Forrest Gregg]], and [[Jerry Kramer]]. The defense included [[Willie Davis (defensive end)|Willie Davis]], [[Henry Jordan]], [[Willie Wood]], [[Ray Nitschke]], [[Dave Robinson (American football)|Dave Robinson]], and [[Herb Adderley]].[[File:Nitschke packers.jpg|thumb|left|[[Ray Nitschke]] – his No. 66 jersey is one of six numbers [[List of Green Bay Packers retired numbers|retired by the Packers]]]]
The Packers' first regular-season game under Lombardi was on September 27, 1959, a 9–6 victory over the [[1959 Chicago Bears season|Chicago Bears]] in Green Bay. After winning their first three, the Packers lost the next five before finishing strong by sweeping their final four. The 7–5 [[1959 Green Bay Packers season|record]] represented the Packers' first winning season since 1947, enough to earn rookie head coach Lombardi the [[NFL Coach of the Year]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=1959 Green Bay Packers Rosters, Stats, Schedule, Team Draftees |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/gnb/1959.htm |access-date=August 29, 2024 |website=Pro-Football-Reference.com |language=en |archive-date=May 15, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240515121937/https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/gnb/1959.htm |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="u503">{{cite web | title=AP Coach of the Year Winners | website=Pro-Football-Reference.com | url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/awards/ap-coach-of-the-year.htm | access-date=August 29, 2024 | archive-date=January 3, 2022 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220103180612/https://www.pro-football-reference.com/awards/ap-coach-of-the-year.htm | url-status=live }}</ref>

In [[1998 NFL season|1998]], the [[1998 Green Bay Packers season|Packers]] went 11–5 and met the [[1998 San Francisco 49ers season|San Francisco 49ers]] in the first round of the NFC playoffs. It was the fourth consecutive year these teams had met in the playoffs and the sixth overall contest since the 1995 season. The Packers had won all previous games, and the media speculated that another 49ers loss would result in the dismissal of San Francisco head coach [[Steve Mariucci]]. Unlike the previous playoff matches, this game was hotly contested, with the teams frequently exchanging leads. With 4:19 left in the 4th quarter, Brett Favre and the Packers embarked on an 89-yard drive, which concluded with a Favre touchdown pass to receiver [[Antonio Freeman]]. This play appeared to give Green Bay the victory. But San Francisco quarterback [[Steve Young]] led the 49ers on an improbable touchdown drive, which culminated when [[Terrell Owens]] caught Young's pass between several defenders to give the 49ers a lead with three seconds remaining. Afterward, the game was mired in controversy. Many argued that during the 49ers game-winning drive, Niners receiver [[Jerry Rice]] fumbled the ball but officials stated he was down by contact. Television replays confirmed the fumble, but referees were unable to review the play; the next season the NFL reinstituted an instant replay system.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://static.espn.go.com/nfl/playoffs98/news/1999/990103/01025866.html|title=ESPN.com: Instant replay comes back to haunt Holmgren|publisher=ESPN|access-date=August 1, 2018|archive-date=August 1, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180801221247/http://static.espn.go.com/nfl/playoffs98/news/1999/990103/01025866.html|url-status=live}}</ref> In the end, this game turned out to be the end of an era in Green Bay. Days later Mike Holmgren left the Packers to become vice president, general manager, and head coach of the [[Seattle Seahawks]]. Much of Holmgren's coaching staff went with him, and [[Reggie White]] also retired after the season (but later played one season for the [[Carolina Panthers]] in 2000).
In 1999, the team struggled to find an identity after the departure of so many of the individuals responsible for their Super Bowl run. [[Ray Rhodes]] was hired in 1999 as the team's new head coach.<ref name="h629">{{cite web | title=Rhodes Is Packers New Coach | website=CBS News | date=January 11, 1999 | url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/rhodes-is-packers-new-coach/ | access-date=August 29, 2024 | archive-date=August 29, 2024 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240829193434/https://www.cbsnews.com/news/rhodes-is-packers-new-coach/ | url-status=live }}</ref> Rhodes had served around the league as a highly regarded defensive coordinator and more recently experienced moderate success as head coach of the [[Philadelphia Eagles]] from 1995 to 1998. Ron Wolf believed that Rhodes' experience and player-friendly demeanor would fit nicely in Green Bay's veteran locker room, but Rhodes was fired after one 8–8 [[1999 Green Bay Packers season|season]].<ref name="k789">{{cite web | title=Hit The Rhodes!

In 2000, Wolf replaced Rhodes with [[Mike Sherman]].<ref name="v131">{{cite web | title=Packers Hire Coach Sherman | website=CBS News | date=January 17, 2000 | url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/packers-hire-coach-sherman/ | access-date=August 29, 2024 | archive-date=September 7, 2024 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240907085004/https://www.cbsnews.com/news/packers-hire-coach-sherman/ | url-status=live }}</ref> Sherman had never been a head coach at any level of football and was relatively unknown in NFL circles. He had only coached in professional football for three years starting as the Packers' tight ends coach in 1997 and 1998. In 1999, he followed Mike Holmgren to Seattle and became the Seahawks' offensive coordinator, although Sherman did not call the plays during games. Despite Sherman's apparent anonymity, Wolf was blown away in the interview process by the coach's organizational skills and attention to detail. Sherman's inaugural season started slowly, but the Packers won their final four games to achieve a 9–7 record. Brett Favre praised the atmosphere Sherman had cultivated in Green Bay's locker room and fans were optimistic about the team's future. In the offseason, however, Wolf suddenly announced his own resignation as general manager to take effect after the April 2001 draft. Packers' president Bob Harlan was surprised by Wolf's decision and felt unsure of how to replace him. Harlan preferred the structure Green Bay had employed since 1991; a general manager who ran football operations and hired a subservient head coach. But with the momentum and locker room chemistry that was built during the 2000 season, Harlan was reluctant to bring in a new individual with a potentially different philosophy. Wolf recommended that Harlan give the job to Sherman. Though Harlan was wary of the structure in principle, he agreed with Wolf that it was the best solution. In 2001, Sherman assumed the duties of both general manager and head coach.
From 2001 to 2004, Sherman coached the Packers to respectable regular-season success, led by the spectacular play of Brett Favre, [[Ahman Green]], and a formidable offensive line. But Sherman's teams faltered in the playoffs. Before 2003, the Packers had never lost a home playoff game since the NFL instituted a post-season in 1933 (they were 13–0, with 11 of the wins at Lambeau and two more in Milwaukee.). That ended on January 4, 2003, when the [[2002 Atlanta Falcons season|Atlanta Falcons]] defeated the [[2002 Green Bay Packers season|Packers]] 27–7 in an NFC Wild Card game. The Packers would also lose at home in the playoffs to the [[2004 Minnesota Vikings season|Minnesota Vikings]] two years later.
By the end of the 2004 season, the Packers' team depth appeared to be diminishing. Sherman also seemed overworked and reportedly had trouble communicating with players on the practice field with whom he was also negotiating contracts. Harlan felt the dual roles were too much for one man to handle and removed Sherman from the general manager position in early 2005 while retaining him as a head coach. Harlan hired the Seattle Seahawks' vice president of operations [[Ted Thompson]] as the new executive vice president, general manager, and director of football operations. The relationship between Thompson and Sherman appeared strained, as Thompson immediately began rebuilding Green Bay's roster. Following a dismal 4–12 season, Thompson fired Sherman.<ref>{{Cite web |date=January 2, 2006 |title=Packers' Sherman loses job after first losing season |url=https://www.espn.com/nfl/news/story?id=2277901 |access-date=August 13, 2024 |website=ESPN.com|agency=Associated Press |language=en}}</ref>

[[Image:Aaron Rodgers 2008 (cropped).jpg|thumb|Quarterback [[Aaron Rodgers]] in 2008]]
The Packers began their [[2008 NFL season|2008 season]] with their 2005 first-round draft pick, quarterback Aaron Rodgers, under center, as the first QB other than Favre to start for the Packers in 16 years. Rodgers played well in his first year, throwing for over 4,000 yards and 28 touchdowns.

In March 2009, the organization assured fans that Favre's jersey number would be retired, but not during the 2009 season. In April 2009, the Packers selected nose tackle [[B. J.

During the [[2009 NFL season]], two matchups between the franchise and Favre were highly anticipated after Favre's arrival with division-rival Vikings in August. The first encounter took place in Week 4, a [[Monday Night Football]] game that broke TV audience records. This scheduling was made possible when Baseball Commissioner and Packer board of directors member [[Bud Selig]] forced baseball's [[Minnesota Twins]] to play 2 games within 12 hours. The Vikings won 30–23; Favre threw 3 TDs, no interceptions, and had a passer rating of 135.<ref name="nfl.com">{{cite web |url=http://www.nfl.com/players/gamelogs?id=FAV540222 |title=Brett Favre: Game Logs at |publisher=National Football League |access-date=February 7, 2011 |archive-date=December 3, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101203084954/http://www.nfl.com/players/gamelogs?id=FAV540222 |url-status=live }}</ref> The teams met again in Week 8, Favre leading the Vikings to a second win, 38–26, in Green Bay.

The team, however, has long had an extended fan base throughout Wisconsin and parts of the [[Midwest]], thanks in part to playing one pre-season and three regular-season home games each year in [[Milwaukee]] through 1995. It was only when baseball-only [[Miller Park]] preempted football there that the Packers' home slate became played entirely in Green Bay.

The original "Articles of Incorporation for the Green Bay Football Corporation", enacted in 1923, specified that should the franchise be sold, any post-expenses money would have gone to the Sullivan-Wallen Post of the [[American Legion]] to build "a proper soldier's memorial". This stipulation was included to ensure there could never be any financial inducement for shareholders to move the club from Green Bay. At the November 1997 annual meeting, shareholders voted to change the beneficiary from the Sullivan-Wallen Post to the Green Bay Packers Foundation, which makes donations to many charities and institutions throughout Wisconsin.<ref name="sharehist">{{cite web |date=January 22, 2015 |title=Shareholder History & Financial History |url=http://prod.static.packers.clubs.nfl.com/assets/docs/shareholder-history-2014.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180802011447/http://prod.static.packers.clubs.nfl.com/assets/docs/shareholder-history-2014.pdf |archive-date=August 2, 2018 |access-date=January 22, 2015 |publisher=Green Bay Packers}}</ref>
Even though it is referred to as "common stock" in corporate offering documents, a share of Packers stock does not share the same rights traditionally associated with [[common stock|common]] or [[preferred stock]]. It does not include an [[equity (finance)|equity]] interest, does not pay [[dividends]], cannot be traded, has no securities-law protection, and brings no season ticket purchase privileges. All shareholders receive are voting rights, an invitation to the corporation's annual meeting, and an opportunity to buy exclusive shareholder-only merchandise.<ref name="WSJ Worst Stock"/> Shares of stock cannot be resold, except back to the team for a fraction of the original price. While new shares can be given as gifts, transfers are technically allowed only between immediate family members once ownership has been established.<ref name="sharehist"/>
Green Bay is the only team with this form of ownership structure in the NFL, which does not comply with current league rules stipulating a maximum of 32 owners per team, with one holding a minimum 30% stake. The Packers' corporation was [[grandfathered]] when the NFL's current ownership policy was established in the 1980s.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/article/63869 |title=Home |publisher=SportsBusiness Journal |access-date=February 7, 2011 |archive-date=October 30, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091030174421/http://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/article/63869 |url-status=live }}</ref> As a publicly held nonprofit, the Packers are also the only American major-league sports franchise to release its financial balance sheet every year.
===Board of directors===
[[Green Bay Packers, Inc.]], is governed by a seven-member [[executive committee]] elected from a 45-member board of directors. It consists of a president, vice president, treasurer, secretary, and three members-at-large; only the president is compensated. Responsibilities include directing corporate management, approving major capital expenditures, establishing broad policy, and monitoring management performance.
The team's elected president normally represents the Packers in NFL owner's meetings. During his time as coach, Vince Lombardi generally represented the team at league meetings in his role as general manager, except at owners-only meetings, where president Dominic Olejniczak appeared.<ref name="PackersTimeline" />
===Green Bay Packers Foundation===
{{Main|Green Bay Packers Foundation}}
The team created the Green Bay Packers Foundation in December 1986. It assists in a wide variety of activities and programs benefiting education, civic affairs, health services, human services and youth-related programs.<ref>Anon., [https://www.packers.com/community/packers-foundation "Green Bay Packers Foundation"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180808043133/https://www.packers.com/community/packers-foundation |date=August 8, 2018 }}, [[Green Bay Packers, Inc.]], 2018.</ref>
At the team's 1997 annual stockholders meeting the foundation was designated in place of a Sullivan-Wallen Post soldiers memorial as the recipient of any residual assets upon the team's sale or dissolution.

Needing to outfit his new squad, team founder [[Curly Lambeau]] solicited funds from his employer, the [[Indian Packing Company]]. He was given $500 for uniforms and equipment in return for the team being named for its sponsor. An early newspaper article referred to the fledglings as "the Indians", but by the time they played their first game "Packers" had taken hold.
Indian Packing was purchased in 1920 by the Acme Packing Company. Acme continued to support the team, which played its first NFL season with "ACME PACKERS" emblazoned on its jerseys.
===Team colors===
Lambeau, a [[University of Notre Dame|Notre Dame]] alumnus, borrowed its [[Notre Dame Fighting Irish football|Irish]]'s [[navy blue]] and gold team colors, much as [[George Halas]] borrowed his [[University of Illinois|Illinois]] alma mater's for the [[Chicago Bears]]. As a result, the early Packers were often referred to as the "Bays" or the "Blues" (and even occasionally as "the Big Bay Blues").
By 1950, Green Bay replaced navy blue with [[kelly green]] but kept what was by then a lighter shade of athletic gold. Navy blue was kept as a secondary color, seen primarily on sideline capes, but was quietly dropped on all official materials shortly after that. In 1958, this kelly green was replaced by a darker [[hunter green]]; it and athletic gold have served as the team colors since. The team's current uniform combination of [[forest green]] or white jerseys and metallic gold pants was adopted soon after Vince Lombardi arrived in 1959. However, to celebrate the NFL's 75th anniversary in 1994, the Packers joined in a league-wide donning of "throwback" jerseys, back to navy blue and gold. The team would go throwback again for two Thanksgiving Day games against the [[Detroit Lions]], in blue and gold 1930s-era uniforms in 2001, and 1960s green and gold (only slightly different from the current ones) in 2003.<ref>{{cite web|title=Infographic: 100 Seasons of Packers uniforms|url=https://www.packers.com/news/infographic-100-seasons-of-packers-uniforms|publisher=Green Bay Packers, Inc.|website=Packers.com|date=September 28, 2018|access-date=December 25, 2024|archive-date=December 25, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241225161843/https://www.packers.com/news/infographic-100-seasons-of-packers-uniforms|url-status=live}}</ref>

In 1951, the team finally stopped wearing leather helmets, adopting the metallic gold plastic headgear it has used ever since. The oval "G" logo was added in 1961 when Lombardi asked Packers equipment manager Gerald "Dad" Braisher to design a logo. Braisher tasked his assistant, St. Norbert College art student John Gordon. Satisfied with a football-shaped letter "G", the pair presented it to Lombardi, who then approved the addition.<ref>{{cite news|last=Christl|first=Cliff|author-link=Cliff Christl|title=St. Norbert art student designed the G|url=https://www.packers.com/news/st-norbert-art-student-designed-the-g-15690762|publisher=Green Bay Packers, Inc.|website=Packers.com|date=August 18, 2015|access-date=December 25, 2024|archive-date=December 25, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241225162909/https://www.packers.com/news/st-norbert-art-student-designed-the-g-15690762|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Christl|first=Cliff|author-link=Cliff Christl|title=The G Stands for Green Bay|url=https://www.packers.com/news/the-g-stands-for-green-bay-15940711|publisher=Green Bay Packers, Inc.|website=Packers.com|date=September 24, 2015|access-date=December 25, 2024|archive-date=December 25, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241225162909/https://www.packers.com/news/the-g-stands-for-green-bay-15940711|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Murphy |first1=Thomas |last2=Hurly |first2=Jim|title=Green Bay: A City and Its Team |year=2011 |publisher=Hurly Investments |isbn=978-0-615-44464-2 }}</ref> [[Tiki Barber]] falsely reported<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.blippitt.com/what-does-the-g-in-the-packers-logo-stand-for-video |title=What Does the 'G' in the Packers Logo Stand for? |format=video|publisher=Blippitt.com |date=February 2, 2011 |access-date=February 7, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170629211709/http://www.blippitt.com/what-does-the-g-in-the-packers-logo-stand-for-video |archive-date=June 29, 2017 |url-status=dead }}</ref> it to stand for "greatness" without a reliable source to back up his claims.

===Uniform variation===
While several NFL teams choose to wear white jerseys at home early in the season due to white's ability to reflect the late summer sun rays, the Packers have done so only twice, during the opening two games of the 1989 season. In 2016, the Packers debuted their [[Color Rush]] uniform, wearing white pants and socks with a white uniform.<ref name="q991">{{cite web | last=Jones | first=Brian | title=Packers to wear color rush uniforms vs. Bears | website=247Sports | date=September 28, 2017 | url=https://247sports.com/nfl/green-bay-packers/Article/Green-Bay-Packers-to-wear-color-rush-uniforms-vs-Chicago-Bears--108117457/ | access-date=August 13, 2024 | archive-date=November 30, 2024 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241130054351/https://247sports.com/nfl/green-bay-packers/article/green-bay-packers-to-wear-color-rush-uniforms-vs-chicago-bears--108117457/ | url-status=live }}</ref> This set has been worn five times, four of them at home and two against the [[Chicago Bears]].

During the 2010 season, the Packers paid tribute to their historical roots with a throwback jersey modeled after that worn by the club in 1929, during its first championship season. The jersey was navy blue with a gold circle and navy numbers, again making the Packers "the Blues".<ref name="UniWatch">{{cite web |url=http://www.uniwatchblog.com/ |title=There's No Service Like Wire Service, Vol. 6 |access-date=February 22, 2010 |archive-date=February 12, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100212163313/http://www.uniwatchblog.com/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="WLUK-TV">{{Cite web |last=Hillman |first=Lou |date=February 22, 2010 |title=Packers in blue jerseys? |url=http://www.fox11online.com/dpp/sports/packers-blue-jerseys |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100225143833/http://www.fox11online.com/dpp/sports/packers-blue-jerseys |archive-date=February 25, 2010 |access-date=February 22, 2010 |website=FOX11 Online}}</ref> These were then changed in 2015 to the navy blue throwback worn from 1937 to 1949, featuring gold shoulders and numbers.<ref name="l300">{{Cite web |last1=Bien |first1=Louis |last2=Van Bibber |first2=Ryan |date=July 28, 2015 |title=Packers unveil alternate throwback jerseys |url=https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2015/7/28/9059873/packers-alternate-throwback-jerseys-nike-2015-season |access-date=August 13, 2024 |website=SBNation.com |archive-date=August 19, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210819141604/https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2015/7/28/9059873/packers-alternate-throwback-jerseys-nike-2015-season |url-status=live }}</ref> In 2021, the Packers changed their throwback thirds to an all-green design, resembling the uniforms worn from 1950 to 1953.<ref name="u585">{{cite web | title=Packers introduce history-inspired alternate uniform | website=Packers.com | date=October 13, 2021 | url=https://www.packers.com/news/packers-introduce-history-inspired-alternate-uniform | access-date=August 13, 2024 | archive-date=August 19, 2021 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210819140110/https://www.packers.com/news/packers-introduce-history-inspired-alternate-uniform | url-status=live }}</ref> Originally, the Packers wore brown helmets with the throwbacks, but in 2013, they started wearing their gold helmets without any decals due to the then-implementation of the NFL's one-shell rule; this rule has been abolished in 2022.

==Rivalries==
===Divisional===
====Chicago Bears====
{{main|Bears–Packers rivalry}}
The Packers and [[Chicago Bears]] have been rivals since their team's inception in 1920, becoming one of the oldest and most storied rivalries in the league's history. The Packers currently lead the series 107–95–6,<ref>{{cite news |last=Rosenthal |first=Phil |url=http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/ct-cubs-bears-tv-ratings-spt-1022-20161021-story.html |title=Cubs clobber Bears in Thursday's TV ratings |work=[[Chicago Tribune]] |date=October 21, 2016 |access-date=December 18, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161218022815/http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/ct-cubs-bears-tv-ratings-spt-1022-20161021-story.html |archive-date=December 18, 2016 |url-status=live }}</ref> and the teams have met twice in the postseason. The Bears won the 1941 meeting, 33–14, and eventually defeated the [[New York Giants]] in the [[1941 NFL Championship Game]], and the Packers won the 2011 meeting, 21–14, en route to a [[Super Bowl XLV]] win over the [[Pittsburgh Steelers]]. The teams' first meeting was a victory for the Bears (known as the Staleys at the time) in 1921 in a shutout, 20–0. The Packers claimed their first win over the Bears in 1925, 14–10. The 1924 matchup (which ended in a 3–0 win for Chicago) was notable for featuring the first-ever ejection of players in a game in NFL history, as [[Frank Hanny]] of the Bears and [[Tillie Voss|Walter Voss]] of the Packers were ejected for punching each other.<ref name="m380">{{cite web | last=Cahill | first=Michael | title=Packers vs. Bears NFC Championship Game: 15 Fun Facts About This NFL Rivalry | website=Bleacher Report | date=January 17, 2011 | url=https://bleacherreport.com/articles/575338-packers-vs-bears-nfc-championship-game-15-fun-facts-about-this-nfl-rivalry | access-date=August 25, 2024 | archive-date=August 25, 2024 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240825235829/https://bleacherreport.com/articles/575338-packers-vs-bears-nfc-championship-game-15-fun-facts-about-this-nfl-rivalry | url-status=live }}</ref> The rivalry also featured one of the last successful [[fair catch kick]]s in 1968, when Bears kicker [[Mac Percival]] kicked the game-winning field goal.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Mayer |first=Larry |date=March 9, 2012 |title=Bears shocked Pack with late free kick |url=http://www.chicagobears.com/news/NewsStory.asp?story_id=8676 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120415035631/http://www.chicagobears.com/news/NewsStory.asp?story_id=8676 |archive-date=April 15, 2012 |access-date=August 3, 2012 |website=ChicagoBears.com}}</ref> As of the 2024 season, the Packers lead the all-time series 108–96–6.<ref name="f696">{{cite web | title=All Matchups, Green Bay Packers vs. Chicago Bears | website=Pro-Football-Reference.com | url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/game_query.cgi?tm1=gnb&tm2=chi&yr=all | access-date=August 13, 2024 | archive-date=August 14, 2024 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240814082930/https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/game_query.cgi?tm1=gnb&tm2=chi&yr=all | url-status=live }}</ref>
====Minnesota Vikings====
{{Main|Packers–Vikings rivalry}}
The rivalry between the Packers and [[Minnesota Vikings]] began in [[1961 NFL season|1961]], similar to their other divisional rivalries. It is also considered to be one of the most intense rivalries in the NFL, due to the intensity of most of the matchups over the years, As is the case with many of their respective state's college teams sharing a rivalry; ([[Minnesota]] and [[Wisconsin]]) have a rivalry in multiple sports, seen between the [[Big Ten]] rivals, the [[University of Wisconsin]] and [[University of Minnesota]]. Events such as [[Randy Moss]] [[mooning]] the [[Green Bay, Wisconsin|Green Bay]] crowd in the first playoff game between these two teams (won by the Vikings), and former Packer great [[Brett Favre]]'s move to the Vikings have created more resentment between these teams. The Packers lead the all-time series 66–60–3, despite the two teams splitting their two playoff contests.<ref name="r123">{{cite web | title=All Matchups, Green Bay Packers vs. Minnesota Vikings | website=Pro-Football-Reference.com | url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/game_query.cgi?tm1=gnb&tm2=min&yr=all | access-date=August 13, 2024 | archive-date=August 13, 2024 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240813012706/https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/game_query.cgi?tm1=gnb&tm2=min&yr=all | url-status=live }}</ref>

{{Main|Lions–Packers rivalry}}
The Packers' rivalry with the [[Detroit Lions]] has been another one of the oldest regular matchups in the NFL. They first met in 1930 when the Lions were known as the [[Portsmouth Spartans]] and based in [[Portsmouth, Ohio]]. The team eventually moved to Detroit for the 1934 season. The Lions and Packers have been division rivals since 1933 and have always met at least twice a season since 1932, without any canceled games between both rivals. The Packers lead the series 106–78–7 as of the end of the 2024 season, the first time in NFL history that a team has recorded 100 wins over an opponent.<ref name="f273">{{cite web | title=All Matchups, Green Bay Packers vs. Detroit Lions | website=Pro-Football-Reference.com | url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/game_query.cgi?tm1=gnb&tm2=det&yr=all | access-date=August 13, 2024 | archive-date=August 13, 2024 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240813012547/https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/game_query.cgi?tm1=gnb&tm2=det&yr=all | url-status=live }}</ref>

====San Francisco 49ers====
{{Main|49ers–Packers rivalry}}
The rivalry between the Packers and the [[San Francisco 49ers]] ignited during the 1990s, with the two teams facing each other in four consecutive playoff games. The Packers won four of five playoff games against the 49ers with Brett Favre as its quarterback, with four of those games pitting Favre against the 49ers' Hall of Fame quarterback [[Steve Young]]. Since 2012, the 49ers have defeated the Aaron Rodgers-led Packers four times in the playoffs.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Holloway |first=Patrick |date=January 19, 2020 |title=The 49ers, the Packers, and everything you need to know about the rivalry |url=https://www.ninersnation.com/2019/11/20/20973809/49ers-packers-preview-rivalry-steve-young-colin-kaepernick-terrell-owens-brett-favre-aaron-rodgers |access-date=November 16, 2021 |publisher=[[SB Nation]] |archive-date=November 17, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211117011716/https://www.ninersnation.com/2019/11/20/20973809/49ers-packers-preview-rivalry-steve-young-colin-kaepernick-terrell-owens-brett-favre-aaron-rodgers |url-status=live }}</ref>

Expanded seven times before the end of the 1990s, Lambeau Field capacity reached 60,890. In 2003, it was extensively renovated to expand seating, modernize stadium facilities, and add an atrium area. Even with a current seating capacity of 72,928, ticket demand far outpaces supply, as all Packers games have been sold out since 1960. About 86,000 names are on the waiting list for season tickets.<ref name="packtix" />
The Packers played part of their home slate in Milwaukee starting in 1933, including two to three home games each year in [[Milwaukee]]'s [[County Stadium]] from 1953 to 1994. Indeed, County Stadium had been built partly to entice the Packers to move to Milwaukee full-time. The Packers worked to capture their growing fan base in Milwaukee and the larger crowds. By the 1960s, the threat of an [[American Football League]] franchise in Milwaukee prompted the Packers to stay, including scheduling a [[1967–68 NFL playoffs#Western Conference: Green Bay Packers 28, Los Angeles Rams 7|Western Conference Championship]] game in 1967.
County Stadium was built primarily as a baseball stadium and made only the bare minimum adjustments to accommodate football. At its height, it only seated 56,000 people, just barely above the NFL minimum; many of those seats were badly obstructed. The field was just barely large enough to fit a football field. Both teams shared the same sideline (separated by a piece of tape) and the end zones extended onto the [[warning track]]. By 1994, improvements and seating expansions at Lambeau, along with the Brewers preparing to campaign for their [[Miller Park (Milwaukee)|new stadium]] prompted the Packers to play their full slate in Green Bay for the first time in 62 years. Former season ticketholders for the Milwaukee package continue to receive preference for one pre-season and the second and fifth regular-season games at Lambeau Field each season, along with playoff games through a lottery under the "Gold Package" plan.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.packers.com/tickets/season-tickets.html|title=Green & Gold Package Scheduling|publisher=Packers.com|access-date=August 22, 2012|archive-date=August 14, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120814054043/http://www.packers.com/tickets/season-tickets.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
The Packers have three practice facilities across the street from Lambeau Field in [[Ashwaubenon, Wisconsin]]: the [[Don Hutson Center]], an indoor facility; [[Ray Nitschke Field]], an outdoor field with artificial [[FieldTurf]]; and [[Clarke Hinkle Field]], an outdoor field with natural grass.<ref name="h418">{{cite web | last=Ryman | first=Richard | title=Green Bay Packers training camp; what to know, schedule, practices | website=Press Gazette Media | date=July 18, 2024 | url=https://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/2024/07/18/things-to-know-about-green-bay-packers-training-camp-at-lambeau-field/74327716007/ | access-date=August 25, 2024}}</ref>

==Championships==
The Packers have been league champions a record 13 times,<ref name=championships/> topping their nearest rival, the Chicago Bears, by four. The first three were decided by league standing, the next six by the [[History of National Football League Championship|NFL Title Game]], and the last four by [[Super Bowl]] victories. The Packers are also the only team to win three consecutive NFL titles, having accomplished this twice—from 1929 to 1931 under Lambeau, and from 1965 to 1967 under Lombardi.
=== Super Bowl championships ===
Starting in 1966, the NFL began holding the Super Bowl.

===Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame===
{{Main|Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame}}
The Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame was the first [[hall of fame]] built to honor a single professional American football team. John P. Holloway, a [[Brown County, Wisconsin|Brown County]] administrator and arena director, and William L. Brault, a Green Bay restaurateur and Packers fan, co-founded the Packer Hall of Fame museum<ref>{{Cite news|last=Holloway|first=Dionne|date=July 20, 1967|title=Hall of Fame?|work=Green Bay Press Gazette|url=https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/189265309/|access-date=December 21, 2021|archive-date=December 21, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211221130021/https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/189265309/|url-status=live}}</ref> in 1966.

==Media==
The Packers are unique in having their market area cover two media markets, both Green Bay and Milwaukee. [[NFL blackout]] restrictions for the team apply within both areas. However, Packers games have not been blacked out locally since [[1972 NFL season|1972]] (the last year home game local telecasts were prohibited regardless of sellout status) due to strong home attendance and popularity. As mentioned above, every Packers home game—preseason, regular season and playoffs—has been sold out since 1960.<ref name="n879">{{cite web | title=Steelers, Packers no strangers to sellout streaks, waiting lists | website=Pittsburgh Post-Gazette | date=February 5, 2011 | url=https://www.post-gazette.com/sports/steelers/2011/02/05/Steelers-Packers-no-strangers-to-sellout-streaks-waiting-lists/stories/201102050339 | access-date=August 25, 2024}}</ref>
===Radio===
The [[flagship station]] of the [[Packers Radio Network]] is [[iHeartMedia]]'s [[WRIT-FM]] (95.7) in Milwaukee. Formerly, [[Good Karma Brands]]'s [[WTMJ (AM)|WTMJ]] in Milwaukee, served as the flagship station, and had broadcast the team's games since 1929, producing the games until the end of the 2018 season, when the team brought their broadcast operations in-house, thus the personnel is directly employed by the team. WTMJ's relationship with the team was the longest-lived between a radio station and an NFL team, and the only rights deal in American professional sports where a station outside of the team's main metro area is the radio flagship, as WTMJ's signal is city-grade across eastern Wisconsin. Games air in Green Bay on [[WTAQ]] (1360/97.5) and [[WIXX-FM]] (101.1), and [[WYDR]] (94.3) in [[Appleton, Wisconsin|Appleton]] and the [[Fox Cities]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.packers.com/gameday/packers_radio_network/station_listing/ |title=Packers Radio Station Listing |publisher=Packers.com |access-date=February 7, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100102043312/http://packers.com/gameday/packers_radio_network/station_listing/ |archive-date=January 2, 2010 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
[[Wayne Larrivee]] is the play-by-play announcer and [[Larry McCarren]] is the color analyst. Larrivee joined the team after many years as the Chicago Bears' announcer.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.packers.com/media-center/radio-shows/packers-radio-network.html |title=Packers Radio Network |publisher=Packers.com |access-date=February 7, 2011 |archive-date=February 19, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110219215116/http://www.packers.com/media-center/radio-shows/packers-radio-network.html |url-status=live }}</ref> [[Jim Irwin (sportscaster)|Jim Irwin]] and [[Max McGee]] were the longtime radio announcers before Larrivee and McCarren. When victory is assured for the Packers, either a game-winning touchdown, interception or a crucial 4th down defensive stop, Larrivee's trademark declaration of "And there is your dagger!" signifies the event.
On October 27, 2021, the Packers announced that it would end its longtime association with WTMJ at the end of the season, with WRNW becoming the team's Milwaukee radio affiliate in 2022.<ref name="mbj-wrnwpackers">{{Cite news |last=Kirchen |first=Rich |date=October 27, 2021 |title=Green Bay Packers switch Milwaukee radio home from WTMJ-AM to iHeartMedia sports station |url=https://www.bizjournals.com/milwaukee/news/2021/10/27/packers-switch-radio-home-from-wtmj.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211027201608/https://www.bizjournals.com/milwaukee/news/2021/10/27/packers-switch-radio-home-from-wtmj.html |archive-date=October 27, 2021 |access-date=October 27, 2021 |work=[[Milwaukee Business Journal]]}}</ref> WRIT-FM became the team's Milwaukee affiliate starting with the team's away game with [[Arizona Cardinals|Arizona]] on October 19, 2025, after WRNW switched to an adult contemporary format after layoffs which affected most of the [[sports talk]] station's hosts and personnel.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://ramp247.com/programming/iheart-milwaukee-makes-adult-decision/|title=iHeart Milwaukee Makes Adult Decision|date=October 13, 2025|work=Radio and Music Pros|publisher=RAMP Media|access-date=14 October 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.packers.com/news/packers-radio-network-milwaukee-affiliate-station-shifts-to-95-7-big-fm-2025|title=Packers Radio Network Milwaukee affiliate station shifts to 95.7 BIG FM|date=October 14, 2025|work=Packers.com|publisher=Green Bay Packers, National Football League|access-date=14 October 2025}}</ref>
