Appealing set of vintage gold-plated cufflinks and tie clasp commemorating Super Bowl I, the first AFL-NFL World Championship Game, a matchup between the NFL champion Green Bay Packers and the AFL champion Kansas City Chiefs, which was held at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles, California, on January 15, 1967. The cufflinks, both .75˝ x .5˝, and tie clasp, 1.5˝ x .5˝, all share the same design of a football-shaped emblem with an exterior image of the LA Memorial Coliseum and raised text, “AFL vs NFL, 1st World Championship, 1966, Los Angeles Coliseum.” The reverse of each piece bears a hallmark. In overall fine condition. Accompanied by its original presentation case.
As many expected, the old guard of the NFL ousted the upstart AFl, with the heavily favored Packers dominating the game’s second half to a convincing 35-10 victory. Quarterback Bart Starr won the game’s MVP award, and Head Coach Vince Lombardi earned the first of his back-to-back Super Bowl wins.
