The 1950 Green Bay Packers season was their 32nd season overall and their 30th season in the National Football League. The club posted a 3–9 record under first-year head coach Gene Ronzani for a fifth-place finish in the National Conference.

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]
