How About a Uniform, Boys?

In September of 1972, again from Boys’ Life magazine, we have an ad showing readers that they could get their parents to buy them a full uniform of their favorite team(!) In the lower center, we see a lad wearing a Green Bay Packers #41 uniform. It seems that all came with white pants. Well, you’ve gotta cut costs somewhere, right? There are some great helmets shown here — with some teams that no longer exist, or with designs that are now considered “throwbacks.” Those were the days!
