I knew, along with Detroit, Chicago, New York and Philadelphia, Green Bay was one of the oldest, if not the oldest, teams. That's why their basic design to their helmet and uniform has not changed, like a lot of the newer teams. Baseball has the Yankees, basketball has Boston, hockey has Montreal and football, it's Green Bay. Philadelphia and other places have changed their stadium's name; in Green Bay, it will always be (Curly) Lambeau Field!!!!

Laurie Johnson Gonzalez, who changed their name to Green Bay Packers. Semantics much?

I love the Packers whoever they are!

They are the only team to win 3 consecutive championships and they did twice. 1929 - 1931 and 1965 - 1967. During the Lombardi era, they won 5 NFL championships in 9 years.

Never heard of the Acme Packers- sounds like a joke!

Got it right

To be fair, the Packers have won 13 NFL championships (more than any other team), including 4 Super Bowls. The Chicago Bears have 9, and the New York Giants and Cleveland Browns each have 8. Sorry Pittsburgh and New England, but you’ve got a long way to go to catch the cheeseheads!
