A commemorative stamp collection designed to honor the 100th season on the NFL.

August 2020 marked the 100th anniversary of the National Football League. This pane of stamps was designed under the parameters that it must be a topic that the United States Postal Service could conceivably run and it must honor a minority group in some way. I put my own additional restrictions on the design that the stamps had to connect to each other both vertically and horizontally on the pane. The result is this commemorative stamp collection featuring the first Black Game Official Burl Abron Toler Sr., 1965; the first Black Head Coach Fritz Pollard, 1922; the first female Game Official Sarah Thomas, 2015; and the first female Coach Jen Welter, 2015.
