SportsManias, FootballMatters.org and sponsor Lids partnered to launch the College Football Legends emoji keyboard in time for Monday’s College Football Playoff National Championship between Alabama and Clemson.
The custom keyboard features members of the College Football Hall of Fame. It can be found on the free SportsManias app, and when fans visit their local Lids store, they can get an exclusive college football legend emoji on a customized Lids cap.
“Our partnership with Lids is extremely exciting and provides college football fans with one-of-a-kind hall of fame emojis to use in messages during the bowl games,” Jon Finkel, Editor-in-Chief of FootballMatters.org, said in a statement. “It’s also a fantastic opportunity for a new generation of fans to learn about some of their school’s most iconic alumni. And on a personal note, I’ve been buying hats from Lids since middle school, so this partnership is really special.”
