via InvestorWire -- Heisman Trophy winner and Pro Football Hall of
Fame enshrinee Tim Brown has launched his first nonfungible
tokens (NFTs) this week: H2H Legends of Football: Tim Brown. A
one-of-a-kind NFT along with an accompanying limited-edition
collectible called Playbooks kicks off a series produced by the new
partnership between the Hall of Fame Resort & Entertainment
Company (NASDAQ: HOFV, HOFVW), Dolphin Entertainment (NASDAQ: DLPN)
and H2H, the brand that represents the only 10 men in football
history to win a Heisman Trophy and be enshrined into the Pro
Football Hall of Fame. Tim Brown’s NFTs, created by award-winning
artists, are now live on OpenSea, the world’s first and
largest digital marketplace for crypto collectibles and NFTs, and
will be available through May 24. Following this, NFTs for
fellow H2H Legends Earl Campbell, Doak Walker and others will be
unveiled.
One of the greatest wide receivers of his era, Tim played his
storied college career with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, earning
the nickname “Touchdown Timmy” for his prowess on the field. Tim
was selected in the first round of the 1988 NFL draft by the
Los Angeles Raiders, setting franchise records for receptions,
receiving yards and receiving touchdowns.
Both NFTs celebrate his incredible contributions to the game of
football, allowing fans a moment to connect with the athlete on a
deep and artistic level. In Tim Brown’s breathtaking 1-of-1 NFT H2H
Legends of Football: Tim Brown, Tim’s own voice rings out as the
viewer is led on an emotional journey through a monument-like
structure, glimpsing highlights of his career on the field. It was
created by Dolphin Entertainment’s Digital Studio in partnership
with Shane Griffin, an award-winning visual artist, director and
NFT developer. Shane’s recent work includes projects with Wiz
Khalifa and Kanye West and brands such as Nike, Apple, Adidas and
Givenchy. He is a winner of PRINT magazine’s New Visual Artist
award and an ADC Young Guns award.
The second offering is Playbooks: Tim Brown, which is limited to
100 editions. The artistic direction for this series was
spearheaded by the award-winning partners at Reference, a New
York-based creative office specializing in design and motion.
Playbooks brings the defining moments and highlights of this
incredible player to life, inviting the viewer to experience Tim's
career through the visor of his own helmet.
Mike Crawford, CEO of HOFV, comments, “We couldn’t be more
excited to share our first NFTs with the world, highlighting Tim
Brown, one of the best to ever play the game of football. Not only
did Tim exemplify excellence on the field during his storied
career, in both college and the pros, but he continues to represent
excellence in every area of his life. He is a role model for fans
of the sport everywhere, and it just seems befitting that we would
lead with such an incredible Pro Football Hall of Famer and person
in these two unique collectibles.”
“Dolphin’s creative mission was to elevate this art to a level
that has not yet been achieved for any athlete so far in this
space,” comments Dolphin Entertainment CEO Bill O’Dowd.
“Inspired by the truly legendary careers of Tim, Earl and Doak, we
set out to make these collectibles worthy of an icon. Needless to
say, we are thrilled with the results and how Shane Griffin and the
Reference team were able to capture two very different, powerful
tributes to Tim Brown’s career.”
Hall of Fame Football legend Tim Brown comments, “Participating
in this unique artform was unlike anything I’ve experienced before.
The artist was able to convey some of the most emotional parts of
my journey and best memories and communicate them powerfully in the
NFT. I am excited and enthusiastic about this new way to connect
with fans and begin to share the story of the H2H Legends, and I
hope to do more in the future.”
The Tim Brown 1-of-1 NFT offering also unlocks three special “In
Real Life” bonuses: a surprise virtual meet-and-greet call from Tim
to the auction winner's person of choice, a personalized piece of
memorabilia, and two tickets to a future Pro Football Hall of Fame
Enshrinement Ceremony of the winner’s choosing.
