A Legacy of Looking Ahead

The National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame (NFF) is celebrated its historic 75th Anniversary in 2022 with a special campaign: NFF 75: A Legacy of Looking Ahead.

As part of the announcement, the NFF also unveiled its 75th commemorative logo. During the 2022 football season, the NFF highlighted the key moments of the past 75 years that underscored the contributions of the game in strengthening our country and the life skills it built in those who play it by creating original content and incorporating unique, celebratory elements into the NFF Annual Awards Dinner and other events throughout the year.
