Welcome to HistoricFootballPosters.com. Our unique vintage football posters,
created from the covers of vintage college football game day
programs, go as far back as the first Harvard-Yale game in 1875.
Pick your favorite school at the right. Come right in to explore
hundreds of Big 10, Big 12, Southeastern, Ivy League Games –
and many more from all corners of America’s football heritage.
Vintage football images can be beautiful and uplifting,
nostalgic or whimsical, and yet sometimes downright disrespectful.
You’ll find something for every degree of politeness!
Nearly all these vintage football artworks were specially commissioned for one
event only – then quickly discarded and forgotten. We welcome
you to their well-deserved resurrection.
Vintage football posters delight the sports fan, the college alum, the
lover of folk art, and anyone with a sense of humor – they’re perfect
for rec room, den, office, child's bedroom or local sports bar.
Give a vintage football poster to a fellow alumnus or alumna and watch their eyes light up.
Give one to that sports nut friend, and to your child upon graduation – as you tell him his free ride is now officially over!
We’re proud of our vintage football poster collection. Enjoy your tour and come back often!
