50 years after the original 8 teams in the American Football League (AFL) were conceived, EA Sports is going to do the people who remember and love the history of them a favor, and releasing a AFL Legacy Pack, EA said in a press release today.

The Pack, to be on XBL Marketplace (for 500 points) and PSN Store (for $5.99) starting Sept. 24th, will feature vintage logos, uniform styles of referees and teams, and a new camera effect of “classic film grain broadcast camera.” This will also feature new trophies and Achievements for those that love to build up their Levels or Gamerscore.

In case you do not know of their history, the AFL was the “alternative” to the NFL from 1960 until 1969. In 69, they merged with the NFL, bringing their teams with them:

- Buffalo Bills
- Denver Broncos
- Kansas City Chiefs (as the Dallas Texans)
- New England Patriots (as the Boston Patriots)
- New York Jets (as the Titans of New York)
- Oakland Raiders
- San Diego Chargers
- Tennessee Titans (as the Houston Oilers)

As far as we know, this is the first major form of DLC for any Madden game, and this is good for EA to finally bring something to the table in this way in their football games. Hopefully they don’t stop offering good DLC like this. Keep your eyes opened on your system profiles for the new Achievements and Trophies soon.
