The NFL has one of the most wholesome communities of fans. The Packers, too, witnessed one overwhelming audience when they locked horns with the New Orleans Saints in Week 3 at their home grounds. The Lambeau fields were painted in greens and golds, proving how much the Wisconsin audience still loves the 2-4 Packers. However, a very special fan, Vinnie James, a cheesecake head, graced the Packers on their win — one that fans around the world can’t get enough of.

This special fan made the cutting-edge 18-17 Packers win against the Orleans memorable. Along with flaunting his outfit, Vinnie James, through his heartwarming dedication toward the Packers, won the hearts of people across the internet.

Vinni James, the Packers’ chihuahua fan, is known for attending the Green Bay Packers games at their home grounds. The furry fan, often spotted wearing over-the-top outfits to cheer up the Packers, attended the game against the Detroit Lions. Even though the Packers lost the game by 34-20, crediting the RB Montgomery and QB Goff, Vinni James’ heartfelt outfit served as a balm for the Packers. The furry fan apparelled a miniature Swiss cheese slice on his head and a Packers jersey. And, as Vinni James does not like basic, he had his stroller specially designed as a football ball, with an eye-catching ‘Go Pack’ adorning it.
