Old school football, who remembers this ?


Jan 20, 2019, 7:04 PM

Back in the 60’s the NFL use a different football for day and night games. Day balls were similar to the one currently used. Night Game balls had white stripes near each end.
There were not many college night games.

You'd know that the NFL used to use a white football in night games. If you don't believe me, ask Hartins.

Yes. That did happen. And back before most of you were a gleam in your Dad's eye, the NFL had a ball that looked more like a basketball than today's football. Maybe visualizing today's football being 8.5 months pregnant would be a better description.

Any of you remember when a drop kick was used for the extra point or field goal? And can you name a well known person who was one of the last persons I knew of who made an extra point with a drop kick?




Yep. None other than Doug Flutie.

My Official NFL Football, personally delivered by Santa, had the stripes.
