What the Hell's Goin' on Out Here: Green Bay Packers Yearbooks from the (Vince) Lombardi Era (1960-1967). The yearbooks here are from the team's return to glory under Lombardi. Arriving in 1959, Lombardi led the Packers to their first winning season in eleven years in his first year as coach. From that auspicious start, Lombardi's Packers had nine winning seasons and claimed five NFL championships in the 1960s. Each yearbook contains roughly 80 pages of text and photos (via MetaFilter).

It will be fun to go through those pages when some extra time comes along.

Great cover on the 1960 edition. Looks like Hornung is getting ready to throw a halfback option.

'61s front cover is one of the classic photos in the history of pro football.
