Offseason

To get the franchise on a firm financial footing, the club started selling stocks publicly for the first time. The stock drive netted $118,000. To replace Curly Lambeau, the Packers named Gene Ronzani as their new head coach and Vice President. The year also saw another change as the team changed its colors to green and yellow; from the navy that the club had been wearing.[1]
