GREEN BAY, Wis. -- There was no Minnesota Vikings jersey in Brett Favre's locker this time.
It was all Green Bay Packers paraphernalia on display at the Favre exhibit that opened Wednesday at the Packers Hall of Fame. Among the displays was the actual locker that Favre used at Lambeau Field prior to the 2003 stadium renovations.

Favre was inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame in 2015. Earlier this month, Favre went into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The curators in Canton also put together a locker display to honor Favre, but it included both Packers and Vikings memorabilia.

It angered some Packers fans who were still upset that Favre finished his career with the Vikings, even though Favre had nothing to do with that display.
"There's no doubt how I will be remembered, and that's as a Packer," Favre said on the eve of his Pro Football Hall of Fame induction earlier this month.
Although Favre was not on hand for Wednesday’s ribbon-cutting ceremony, Packers director of public affairs Aaron Popkey said Favre has seen photos of the temporary exhibit and is looking forward to seeing it in person when he comes to Lambeau Field for the Oct. 16 game against the Cowboys.
Also commemorated in the display were all 442 of Favre’s touchdown passes.

Another part of the exhibit -- called “Captain Comeback” -- showed all of Favre’s come-from-behind wins with the Packers.
