Bill Macatee on NBC?? MIND = BLOWN

Loved the historical perspective NBC had, except that: the chimes didn't come into play until 1929 (by way of another college football game involving Georgia Tech that NBC broadcast through Atlanta's WSB); the "snake" wasn't introduced until 1959 and the "kaleidoscope" peacock came along later in 1962.

The only major sporting event worthy of color by the early 1960s was baseball's World Series. NBC first colorcast the Fall Classic in 1955 and it became permanent around 1959 or so.
