One of the most popular brands in all of professional sports, the Green Bay Packers were founded in 1919 by Earl Lambeau and George Whitney Calhoun. Playing in the same city since their inception, the Pack is the last remaining community-owned professional franchise in American sports. With an incomparable winning tradition to go along with those deep-seated Wisconsin roots, the Packers supporters are arguably the most loyal fans anywhere.
A History of Excellence
Driven by legends intrinsically tied to the history of the NFL, Vince Lombardi, Bart Starr, Paul Hornung, Ray Nitschke and Brett Favre, the Green Bay Packers have won 13 league championships including four Super Bowls. With the baton passed to current QB and future Hall-of-Famer Aaron Rodgers, the Packers are a bastion of excellence in an otherwise unpredictable NFL.
While some pundits insisted that when the Packers let Brett Favre leave Green Bay to play for the New York Jets in 2008, the Pack would be in for a reversion to the mean. But the Packers' front office knew what they had in Aaron Rodgers and after one season out of the playoff hunt, the Packers were back in the post-season in 2009 and following the 2010 season, Rodgers was the Super Bowl MVP.
