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.
These are pages from our Full Color Electric Football book.
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.
