I’ve been busy scouring eBay and other sources for more images to add to the site. I picked up a handful of beautiful vintage color slides recently, and will be adding them soon. If you are looking forward to viewing these, and you enjoy the other AFL treasures that I uncover and stories that I post, please take a moment and share this site via Facebook, Twitter, email or other social media, and encourage your friends to subscribe to our daily stories. I have provided the easy share buttons for you. This site only gets better with growth and input from new readers (and more photos!).
Excellent! Looking forward to viewing them.
These are beautiful! I especially like the Chiefs/Chargers image in the lower left corner. Look at the background – an empty grass slope with houses overlooking the stadium! The fans at that game could never have dreamed of the spectacle of Arrowhead as we know it today. That said, to this day, in my opinion there have never been more beautiful fields than the Municipal Stadium presentations of George Toma. What I wouldn’t give to return to just one of those old games when you could bring your cooler into the game, buy a stadium horn and watch Warpaint being ridden bareback…
Great Job. Keep them coming.
All nice pictures, especially the ones Superbowl I KC vs GB January 15, 1967. Modern uniforms may be lighter/more comfortable to wear/breathable, but they don’t hold a candle to yesteryear’s old school styles terms aesthetic beauty, my humble opinion, jerseys, pants, leggings, shoes, helmets, facemasks, etc. etc. etc.
Todd, don’t know if those slides have any dates on them, but the KC/SD photos look to be from the 1964 or 1965 season. I’m almost certain, sleuthing hat on, they’re from 1965. It’s fun for me to look for identifying aspects (or a lack thereof) to narrow down when a pic might have been taken.
Bottom left pic, believe I see KC’s Mack Lee Hill the ground; he played ’64 & ’65 only. Same pic, #73 KC’s Dave Hill didn’t become a starter for the Chiefs until later in the ’63 season, after the @KC vs SD game was played. #77 Ernie Ladd is playing; he left SD post ’65. Jon Gilliam #65 is blocking for KC, pic bottom center; he missed the ’66 regular season save for one game (not vs SD.) The goal post is the ‘H’ type, which disappeared post ’66 season. As well, pic bottom left behind Dawson #16 is the big scoreboard. To the right of it is the right-center field area baseball/A’s, which is still grass & does not yet have the temporary seating which became norm ’66 the Chiefs Superbowl bound.
