Description

Lombardi, the Golden Boy, Fuzzy, Bart, Taylor, Nitschke, the Ice Bowl, five world championships in seven years, and a place in history as secure as Fort Knox. Three decades later, the Pack would win their third Super Bowl behind the brilliance of a gutsy field leader named Favre.

Before Lombardi, there was Lambeau and his cast of two-way superstars: Johnny Blood, Arnie Herber, Clarke Hinkle, Cecil Isbell, Tony Canadeo, and the incomparable Don Hutson. This group surpassed even Lombardi's crew in league titles, bringing six world crowns to Green Bay.

Packer Pride spans 85 years of Green Bay Packers lore that's sure to work up the gridiron appetites of Cheeseheads everywhere. America's love affair with the Packers is a salute to an era when town teams proliferated in the Mid-Atlantic states and the Midwest during pro football's infancy, before big towns and bigger money pushed out the little guys. In an age when no team is safe from relocation, Packer fans sleep well at night, secure in the knowledge that their team is home to stay, the only publicly owned franchise in the NFL.

Packer Pride features:

  • Firsthand accounts of the great Packers players
  • The intense rivalries
  • Testaments to Packers character
  • Great moments in Green Bay history
  • The Ice Bowl
  • All 12 world championship rosters
  • An all-time Packers team
  • ...Even a shrine to No. 14, the immortal Hutson.

All are told by the players themselves, Packers' opponents, coaches, and members of the media.
