Today’s post is an image of fullback Jim Taylor carrying the ball in the October 23, 1960 game between the Packers and the San Francisco 49ers at Milwaukee’s County Stadium. The Packers won this game in big fashion, 41-14, in front of 39,914 fans. Also of note are the Green Bay helmets without the familiar “G” logo, which wouldn’t debut until the next season.
This was Vince Lombardi’s second season as head coach, and the Packers finished with an 8-4-0 record — good for the Western Conference title. They would eventually lose to the Philadelphia Eagles in the 1960 NFL championship game.
