The United States Postal service announced Pat Summit, the legendary University of Tennessee women’s basketball coach, will be a featured subject in its release of the 2027 commemorative stamps.
Pat Summitt
In her 38 years at the helm of the University of Tennessee women’s basketball program, Pat Summitt (1952-2016) led her team to 1,098 victories and eight national championships. Demanding, disciplined and fiercely competitive, Summitt pushed her players to excel on and off the court. Her success helped elevate women’s basketball nationally while raising expectations for how women athletes and their coaches should be supported. The stamp art features an oil-on-primed-linen portrait of Summitt created by Roberto Parada. Ethel Kessler, an art director for USPS, designed the stamp.
The Pat Summitt stamp design is preliminary and could change. See other stamps scheduled to be part of the 2027 release.
