Mmmmm, Model T's are far too collectible and cool to people. I know what you're saying though, Bruce. I just think that it may be more along the lines of the AMC Pacer, rather than the Model T. There is a lot of truth, however, in what you say about a massive overhaul of the image of the hobby. It happened with Dungeons and Dragons, it has happened with many of the classic board games that we grew up with. They were all revamped and modernized, while keeping the integrity of the original game intact.
What Mark Robin says has truth to it as well, a lot of the hobby-type shop goers are not football geeks.
I don't have much as far as answers, I just think that at times, we tend to want to rely on the "nostalgia" of the game to bring people back who use to play, rather than paying enough attention to "modernizing" the game, to bring the new players in.
