More vintage advertisements from 1960's and 1970's football programmes

Hot on the heels of my last vintage advertisement blog post here is another selection of vintage advertisements found in football programmes from the 1960's and 1970's.

Looking more like a late 1960's album cover than a beer advert, this vintage advertisement is from 1967 and attempts to capture the psychedelic era with its swirly text, although I am fairly sure the summer love was not fuelled by Double Diamond.

So, you've had your dutch courage with a pint of Double Diamond, and now you're all set for that date. But hang on a minute, what is that you are wearing? Better get yourself down to Foster Brothers for "men's wear with a flair".

So, if you're anything like me, clothes shopping brings you out in a rash, so probably time for another quick drink to build up your "inner man".

And of course in the 1960's (but thankfully not now) you could smoke in the pub. In fact it was probably compulsory. So, you could "join the men" and roll your own.

or sample one of Wills Whiffs ... nice.

Sepia Saturday 175 - vintage cigarette advertisements

I was in two minds about staying on theme for this week's Sepia Saturday, but as long as you all promise me that these vintage cigarette adverts won't make you take up smoking, then I think we're safe. All of these advertisements were taken from Air Mail magazine (the journal of the Royal Air Forces Association) from the early 1960's.

If I am allowed a favourite here, then it would have to be this first one, for Capstan cigarettes. An all together cheesy picture showcasing some of the golfing fashions of the day.

The next advert for Nelson cigarettes is less striking but it's not a brand I'd heard of so included it for interest reasons.

Finally, in the sepia selection, we have Woodbine, for those hard working, engineer types.

In the colour section, we have two adverts from the early 1970's, complete with sideburns, taken from the back cover of Drive magazine. The men in both of these adverts look familiar, but I have no idea if they are famous or just models. Does anyone know who they are?
