Fit for immortality
On Mon. Feb. 7, 2016, just two days after being elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, an orientation meeting was held by Hall of Fame staff and board with the Class of 2016 to discuss what to expect during Enshrinement Weekend.
Measurements were taken throughout the day as work began to create their three iconic symbols. The Class will receive their Gold Jacket and Hall of Fame Bronze Bust in August and Ring of Excellence during the 2016 NFL season.
