Possible additionsEdit
Curly Lambeau's number 1
Brett Favre's number 4
Founder, coach and player Curly Lambeau is the only Packer credited with wearing the number 1. Lambeau's #1 has yet to be retired.[4] When Brett Favre retired from the Packers, the organization planned to retire the #4 in his honor. Since he returned to football this was put off indefinitely. The organization is expected to retire his number after he retires.[2]
