Tudor vs Gotham
The Electric Football competition between Tudor and Gotham is truly “on.” After Gotham unveiled the NFL G-1500, Tudor responds by creating the first ever 3-D Electric Football players.
The players were designed by Lee Payne, who also created an Electric Football game for Tudor that equaled the size of the G-1500. This new Tudor game was called the Sports Classic No. 600 model, and appeared in the 1962 Ward and GMC Christmas catalogs.
Sears put the Gotham NFL G-1500 at the top of a full-color Christmas catalog page. This cements Electric Football’s status as a featured toy.
There are more Electric Football choices in 1962 than in any previous year. And this trend will only continue.
