Pete Rozelle is the patriarch of the NFL. No other figure had an impact on the league like that of the Hall of Fame commissioner. This “The Duke” football is the same one that was used in the 1960s. Distributed by Thorp Sporting Goods, this Wilson-made pigskin exhibits moderate wear. Per their stampings, these particular footballs were never available commercially; they were, instead, the exclusive domain of the NFL. All of the stampings are still distinct.
This football was game-used, and the provenance indicates that it was used in a 1965-66 Detroit Lions vs. Baltimore Colts matchup. The football was retrieved after the game after a field goal or extra point was kicked. Overall, shows solid game wear and cracking from age.
