In the week leading up to Super Bowl III, Joe Namath appeared at the Miami Touchdown Club, where he coolly guaranteed the Jets would win. Facing the heavily favored Baltimore Colts at the Orange Bowl on 1/12/69, Namath made his prediction good, leading the New York Jets to a 16-7 victory. While this was certainly a huge win for the Jets and their star quarterback, it was even bigger than that, impacting all of pro football. Though a merger between the NFL and AFL was set, many still looked upon AFL teams as being inferior in talent. The Jets triumph in Super Bowl III cemented the AFL’s legitimacy, while also punching Namath’s ticket to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Revisit Namath’s famous guarantee, with the offered Super Bowl III program. One of the most sought-after editions of the fifty-seven Super Bowl programs issued to date, this coveted program is graced with a fantastic cover, featuring players from the participating teams battling for a catch. Moderate wear and light soiling across the bottom limit the grade for this big game souvenir to (VG), though it presents handsomely with vibrant colors, and a solid spine.
