Notes: The Green Bay Packers could be considered the NFL's most successful team with 13 league championships. The Green and Gold operate as a non-profit, in fact they are the only non-profit, community-owned major league professional sports team in the United States. The teams began as a joint effort between a couple of high school rivals, Earl "Curly" Lambeau and George Whitney Calhoun, joined forces in 1919. Lambeau secured a donation for uniforms from his employer, the Indian Packing Company, with the condition that the team be named after the sponsor.
