Full Color Football: The History of the American Football League
Full Color Football celebrates the 50th season of the maverick American Football League, from its tumultuous beginnings to its unlikely merger with the rival NFL.
It's 1969 and anything is possible—the Jets upset the Colts in Super Bowl III, Man walks on the Moon—but the AFL is still considered separate and unequal in the eyes of the NFL. The debate over how the leagues will be realigned is long and contentious. The now predominant figure in all of pro football, Joe Namath, nearly retires under attack from the NFL establishment.
