Pat Summitt is getting a stamp of approval. The US Postal Service plans to honor the legendary Tennessee coach with her own 2027 stamp.
Summitt joins MLB icon Willie Mays as the only two people depicted in next year’s stamp lineup. The rest of the 2027 fleet follows a holiday- and Americana-inspired motif.
Designed by USPS Art Director Ethel Kessler, the stamp centers on artist Roberto Parada’s oil portrait of the record-setting Lady Vols boss, who died of Alzheimer’s disease in 2016.
“Demanding, disciplined and fiercely competitive, Summitt pushed her players to excel on and off the court,” the USPS said in Tuesday’s statement.
