Pop Warner Commemorative Stamp

(Version 2)

In addition to the 4 Legendary Football Coaches stamps issued jointly as a single sheet on July 25, 1997, the Postal Service issued a second version of each stamp that recognized each coach with a sheet of 20 stamps of just that coach. (The second version differs from the July 25 stamp by the inclusion of a red bar above each coach's name.) First-day-of-issue ceremonies for the second version of each stamp were held in the state most associated with that coach. Also, the second version could only be purchased at post offices in the state where issued.

On August 8, 1997, the second version of the Pop Warner stamp was issued in first-day ceremonies in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Though Warner started his coaching career at the University of Georgia, where he coached the 1895 and 1896 seasons, Warner spent most of his coaching career in Pennsylvania.
