Vibrant 1962 50th Grey Cup "Fog Bowl" Commemorative Folk Art – Featuring Hamilton Tiger-Cats Legend Hal Patterson (#7) – Framed 25" x 31" Up for auction is a unique, vibrant, hand-drawn commemorative folk art piece celebrating one of the most legendary moments in Canadian football history: the 50th Grey Cup played on December 1–2, 1962, famously known as the "Fog Bowl." This striking multi-media drawing on paper captures the mid-century sports aesthetic of the era, blending bold lines and patterned textures. It prominently features a stylized profile alongside a bold red number 7—a direct tribute to CFL Hall of Fame wide receiver Hal Patterson, who uniquely wore jersey #7 during his historic championship tenure with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Historical Context: The 50th Grey Cup remains the most famous game in CFL history. Played at Toronto's Exhibition Stadium, an impenetrable lake fog rolled onto the field, completely blinding players, referees, and fans. With 9:29 left in the 4th quarter, the game was entirely suspended and had to be completed the following afternoon on Sunday, resulting in a legendary 28-21 finish. This artwork serves as an exceptional, expressive piece of independent fan history honoring that unforgettable weekend.
