Since the Packers were already the largest purchaser of their products, to keep them stocked in the Packers Pro Shop the couple approached the team to determine the next steps for Foamation.
The Cheesehead has since become a universally recognized symbol for Wisconsinites and Packers fans.Īfter more than 30 years of growing Foamation, which offered the hats and a variety of other specialty cheese-like foam products, the Brunos were ready to shift gears. The one-of-a-kind hat turned out to be big hit while Bruno was tailgating before the game, and a new tradition began. “We have had a very special relationship with the Packers over the years, and my wife, Sue, and I are both very excited about what the Packers can do with the Cheesehead going forward.” “After many years of working with family and friends to build the Cheesehead brand, we are pleased to pass it on to the Green Bay Packers,” said Ralph Bruno. He burned holes in the foam to give it a Swiss cheese-like appearance and painted it yellow to look like cheddar.
Bruno first wore the Cheesehead hat to a Brewers game, after having the idea for the unique headwear while reupholstering his mother’s couch and seeking an opportunity to poke fun at the sports fans south of Wisconsin.
