Electric football has a rich heritage that is tied directly to the NFL. It’s this bond that keeps us coming back to the games, the players, the Rule Books, and the order forms.
The Rule Books and the order forms are still a magical thing. Maybe, just maybe, we could fill it out and send it off, and those teams we never ordered 35 years ago will show up in our mail box. Somewhere out there time stood still, and 176 Johnson Street is still producing electric football games. The orange pant Broncos are just waiting for your $1.50.
We know it can’t happen but we still dream about it. And we dream about other things too, like the games that were never made. Tudor made its first Super Bowl in 1969, but how about one from the year before. Super Bowl II with the Raiders and Packers. Both teams would have to be “large” of course.
But maybe, just maybe this dream could come true. Are you listening Doug Strohm?

Hey Earl and Roddy……..great piece on the SB 2 wish to order again from 176 Johnson St……..that could be a great concept for an electric football work of fiction 🤔……..on the hint to Doug, I actually sent a suggestion to him (after he sent out a poll on which figures we liked the best) to make a 50th anniversary set of figures painted in the uniforms of that first rule book shot and to make SBs 1 & 2 as a part of the anniversary of Tudor’s first NFL teams……….I guess he didn’t get the email🙂
