1967 All-Pro Football


On our trip back to the Packerville, U.S.A. Archives, it’s 1967 and this is what we’re reading — a copy of All-Pro Football’s season preview. The Packers have won two NFL championships in a row, and are looking to repeat and become the only three-time consecutive champs in the modern history of the NFL. Of course, they also won three-in-a-row back in the pre-playoffs era (1929-30-31).


Here is the two-page section about the 1967 Green Bay Packers team, as well as the statistics from the 1966 season.




The publication also previews the 1967 American Football League (AFL) season, and includes a page showing the complete schedule for the Continental Football League. You can read more about this league here, here, and here.


And what sports publication of the 1960s would be complete without a full-page ad for Charles Atlas’ bodybuilding and strength program? Nobody wants to be the skinny guy who gets sand kicked in his face at the beach!
