A cheesehead is a hat that Packer fans wear. It is meant to represent Wisconsin for their cheesemaking. It is a triangle foam hat that pretty much looks like cheese.
The Green Bay Packers were founded on August 11, 1919 by former high-school football rivals Earl "Curly" Lambeau and George Whitney Calhoun. Lambeau solicited funds for uniforms from his employer, the Indian Packing Company. He was given $500 for uniforms and equipment, on the condition that the team be named for its sponsor. The Indian Packing Company was a company that was involved in the canned meat industry. So why cheese at all? LOL

The Green Bay Packers home state of Wisconsin, is very heavily immersed in Dairy operations, and in turn, lots of cheese manufacturers. People from Wisconsin, were then referred to as cheeseheads.... and rather than htink of it is a negative, they have embraced the title and don their cheesehead hats during the Packer football games.
It's because of the large quantity of Cheese that is produced in Wisconsin. It originated as an insult by Illinois football and Baseball fans but Wisconsinites turned it around and embraced it. The power of the insult was taken away this way and you will see lots of foam cheeseheads at Green Bay Packers games now.
Wisconsin is the state most associated with cheese and green bay is in Wisconsin
Are you serious?! The cheesehead is the most famous symbol of the Packers. All of their fans wear cheeseheads because of the abundance of cheese in Wisconsin.
