Stock is equity in a company entitling you to a share of the profits. Green Bay is calling this a Common Stock - which is a specific financial term - and then saying on the page that it doesn't entitle you to any profits.

It's incredibly confusing, even if the Packers didn't intend to deceive.

Well said.

If you call something a Common Stock and charge 250 dollars for it many people will believe it is worth something. Its purely a souvenir and a fund raising gimmick, which is fine, but to not clearly disclose that is deceptive.
