Their logo makes a resemblance to their real-life counterpart, the San Francisco Giants. The name can also be a reference to the football team the Green Bay Packers. As the team is sponsered by Fierro Fudge, it can be assumed that the name is a reference to fudge packer, a derogatory term for a homosexual. In Grand Theft Auto: IV, civilians walking in Beechwood City and Dukes Boulevard can be seen wearing Packers gear, and there is one player's name that appears on the back of the shirt. His name is LaVergne.
