Hvor fik green bay packers deres navn?

Lambeau skaffede penge til uniformer hos sin arbejdsgiver, Indian Packing Company. Han fik 500 dollars (6.900 dollars i dag) til uniformer og udstyr på betingelse af, at holdet blev opkaldt efter sin sponsor. Green Bay Packers har spillet i deres oprindelige by længere end noget andet hold i NFL.
