Electric Football needs to be in the National Toy Hall of Fame. It’s a simple fact, and we at The Unforgettable Buzz are grateful to Tudor Games for getting out in front with this issue for the month of July.
Here’s a pretty cool list: Barbie, Etch-A-Sketch, Silly Putty, Hot Wheels, Big Wheel, GI Joe, Slinky Tonka Toys, LEGO, Lincoln Logs, Monopoly, Mr. Potato Head, Electric Football. All are classic and iconic childhood toys. It’s a point that no one would argue.
Another interesting point about the list is that all of those toy have been inducted into National Toy Hall of Fame…except one. Can you guess which one?
It’s our own Electric Football.
So maybe this year, Electric Football’s time has come. Our book The Unforgettable Buzz documents conclusively Electric Football’s position as one of the most beloved toys of all time. But we all have to do our part…and it’s really not all that hard.
