“Playbooks” collectible series is produced by
Hall of Fame Resort and Entertainment Company and Dolphin
Entertainment
Leading cryptocurrency trading platform FTX to
release NFTs on August 5
Hall of Fame Resort and Entertainment Company (NASDAQ: HOFV,
HOFVW) and Dolphin Entertainment (NASDAQ: DLPN) announce the
creation of a new NFT series highlighting memorable plays from the
college and professional careers of six legendary athletes. This
first-of-its-kind collectible, entitled “Playbooks,” becomes
available beginning August 5, 2021 on FTX, a leading cryptocurrency
portfolio management and trading platform, which will allow
collectors to acquire the NFTs through the platform using a debit
or credit card or cryptocurrency. The collection will be available
through the Pro Football Enshrinement Week powered by Johnson
Controls festivities and while supplies last.
The pro football legends featured in this NFT series includes:
Los Angeles Raider Marcus Allen, the only NFL player to win a
Heisman Trophy, NFL MVP, Super Bowl, Super Bowl MVP and be
enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame; Tim Brown, a Pro
Football Hall of Famer, Heisman Trophy winner and legendary wide
receiver who played 16 seasons with the Los Angeles and Oakland
Raiders; University of Texas and Houston Oiler legend Earl
Campbell, also a Hall of Famer and Heisman Trophy winner; 3-time
Super Bowl Champion and Pro Football Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe;
Joe Theismann, NFL MVP, and Super Bowl winning quarterback for the
Washington Redskins; and the late Doak Walker, 1948 Heisman Trophy
winner and Pro Football Hall of Famer.
For the “Playbooks” concept, each legendary athlete will have a
limited number of different custom NFTs available, priced at $25
each. Each collectible features the voice of the legend
immortalizing a specific play from his college or professional
career; every play was personally chosen by the participating
athletes and represents pivotal moments and defining memories from
their storied careers on the field. The purchase of these NFTs
provides several opportunities to unlock a variety of “extra”
opportunities for engagement and interaction, including signed
memorabilia, “meet and greet” opportunities and other unique
experiences. Collectors purchasing all “Playbooks” from a
particular player within a certain amount of time will
automatically be invited to join a video conference with that
player, for example, while collectors who purchase the most
“Playbooks” from a specific player within that same window will
have the chance to receive signed jerseys, helmets and in the case
of Doak Walker, even two tickets to next year’s Hall of Fame
Enshrinement, courtesy of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. More
details can be found here.
The creative for “Playbooks” was spearheaded by the
award-winning partners at Reference, a New York based creative
office specializing in design and motion.
“We are excited to bring this next wave of incredible
collectibles to football fans and NFT enthusiasts alike,” said
Michael Crawford, President & CEO of HOFV. “We have a unique
opportunity to work with some of the most legendary athletes to
ever play the game of football, and are honored to be able to bring
some of their most defining moments to life in this uniquely
accessible format. We continue to explore new and exciting ways to
bring athletes and their fans closer together and are thrilled to
bring this groundbreaking series of NFTs to market.”
Bill O’Dowd, CEO of Dolphin Entertainment comments, “This pack
of collectibles is incredibly well timed, not just for the start of
football season but also as credit card purchases become possible
in the NFT space. Now, there’s nothing standing in the way of any
fan getting a special collectible from their favorite football
legend.”
