NFL Films is a treasure trove of footage for all things pro football. Though the Sabol family were primarily NFL fans, they still shot a lot of AFL film under their offshoot of AFL Films. In recent years they have released some of that film in several different documentaries.
This clip covers a handful of subjects, some of the frivolous (facial hair restrictions), and others more thought-provoking (the AFL’s acceptance of African-American athletes). What I enjoy the most in this clip is the beautiful, full color footage of AFL games and players. The vast majority of AFL photographs that I encounter were shot or developed in black and white. It is a real treat to see anything AFL-related in full color.
Take five minutes out of your morning to enjoy this bit of AFL fun. It is worth the time.
Loved this one, saw a quick view of my father n law #79 Jim Lee Hunt.
Funny, I wondered if you would see this post when I first watched the video. I’m glad that you saw it!
