The Green Bay Packers currently have six officially retired numbers, one number soon to be retired and two unofficially retired numbers.
All six retired numbers were worn by Pro Football Hall of Famers who helped the Packers win NFL titles. Between the six players with retired numbers, 13 combined NFL titles or Super Bowls were won.
A seventh number will eventually be retired for a future Hall of Famer and Super Bowl winner. Two other numbers are mostly off limits but are not officially retired.
