About the stamp design: Pictures a dark blue silhouettes of a female soccer player adorned with yellow laurel branches symbolizing victory. The stamp was designed by artist Melinda Beck.
First Day City: The First Day of Issue Ceremony was held at the US Department of Education in Washington, DC, an appropriate choice given that Title IX was passed as a clause in the Education Amendments of 1972.
About the Title IX set: Four stamp designs picturing silhouettes of female athletes all crowned with yellow laurel branches representing victory. The designs represent the idea that Title IX has allowed talented female athletes to compete fairly and without discrimination based on their gender.
History the stamp represents: When you think of women’s soccer, few names stand out more than Mia Hamm. Mariel Margaret Hamm-Garciaparra is a two-time Olympic gold medalist and two-time FIFA Women’s World Cup champion. She was a member of the US Women’s National Soccer team from 1987 to 2004 and was also affiliated with the Women’s United Soccer Association, the first professional women’s soccer league in the US.
Hamm was part of an Air Force family when she was growing up, meaning they moved from place to place a lot. At one time, the family ended up living in Florence, Italy, where Hamm quickly took up soccer. As they say, the rest is history…
Hamm’s achievements led her to become the first woman inducted into the World Football Hall of Fame in Mexico. She was also named one of ESPNW’s Impact 25 in 2014, recognizing her as one of the most influential female athletes of the year. Hamm retired at age 32 and turned her focus to the Mia Hamm Foundation. This organization is dedicated to increasing female participation in athletics and promoting the ideals of Title IX. Not only was Mia Hamm a phenomenal female athlete, but she also became a role model for young girls across the United States and the world.
