The Green Bay Packers are set to induct Brett Favre into the team's Hall of Fame and retire his No. 4 jersey this weekend, and they've already kicked off the celebration by launching the #FavreWeek hashtag on Twitter and Instagram.

The Packers franchise has been around since 1921, but they've only retired five jersey numbers since then: Tony Canaeo's No. 3, Don Hutson's No. 14, Bart Starr's No. 15, Ray Nitschke's No. 66 and Reggie White's No. 92. Favre's No. 4 will be the sixth number never to be worn by another Packer.

Favre has his own personal corner of the Packers' official website right now, where fans can watch videos featuring the legendary quarterback. The highlighted video is a trailer for a special titled, "One of a Kind," which is set to air on Tuesday, July 13, at 9 p.m. (CT) on Today's TMJ4 in Milwuakee and NBC 26 in Green Bay.
