Founded by renowned sports poster artist John Costacos, The Costacos Collection introduces a sports NFT marketplace that shares digital art as non-fungible tokens created in partnership with legendary athletes. For its second drop, The Costacos Collection worked with four NFL quarterbacks: Troy Aikman, Warren Moon, Jim McMahon, and Dan Marino.
The QB Legends Collection reimagines a series of Costacos posters from the 80s and 90s as digital works of art that are built on the Flow blockchain—now, an entirely new generation can appreciate the designs. Additionally, the athlete partners collaborated on all-new 3D art pieces that represent defining moments from their careers. A portion of proceeds from this new drop will help to support the Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinees Assistance Foundation.
