September 1972 Program III
Our last installment of the September 24, 1972 Packers-Raiders game program begins with a lengthy article on the zone defense, 1972-style.
Remember the Sunoco N.F.L. sticker book craze of that year?
More of your Green Bay stars.
John Madden is known by later generations as a television commentator during N.F.L. games, but in this era, he was the head coach of the Oakland Raiders. Also noteworthy is the Pizza Hut ad at the top of the page featuring former Packer receiver Bob Long (1964-67), who owned many franchises.
Even more Packers stars.
The Packers’ behind-the-scenes staff is given recognition here. “Dad” Braisher (lower right) is the one who designed the “G” on Green Bay’s helmets, later to become the franchise’s logo.
Here’s a couple of pages with photo highlights from the fifth (of six) exhibition games that year, against the St. Louis Cardinals in Green Bay.
Lastly, you could’ve made your plans to join Bart & Cherry Starr on a post-season cruise. The Packers lost the game on the day of this program, 20-14, which was the second game of the season.
