The National Football League is already gearing up to celebrate its 100th season in 2019 with a year-long series of "NFL 100" events, initiatives and programming centered around fans, players and communities. A special "NFL 100" logo has been unveiled and will be prominently displayed throughout the season – during celebrations on the field, in stadiums, game broadcasts, NFL Films and NFL Network programming, and digital and social media content. In addition, the "NFL 100" logo will be featured on game balls and on every player's game jersey in the neck area. NFL business partners will also use the logo in activations and on an array of merchandise. Among the planned celebratory programs will be NFL Media offering original programming and content to celebrate the milestone across multiple platforms.
