EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a piece of football history from 1895 - an advertisement for "Football Blocks," a device designed to protect footballers' shins. The ad showcases the various sizes available, emphasizing the importance of proper protection for athletes on the field.
The image is not just a glimpse into the past, but also a reminder of how far sports equipment has come in terms of safety and innovation. In an era where moustaches were all the rage, this ad serves as a fascinating look at both sporting culture and advertising trends from over a century ago.
As we admire this historical artifact, we can't help but appreciate the dedication to player safety that was evident even back then. It's clear that protecting athletes has always been a top priority in sports, and products like Football Blocks were instrumental in ensuring that players could perform at their best without fear of injury.
Mary Evans Picture Library has preserved this piece of sporting history for us to enjoy today, reminding us of the evolution of sports equipment and techniques over time. This print is not just a snapshot from the past; it's a testament to the enduring legacy of athlete protection in football and beyond.
