The United States Postal Service will honor American women’s soccer with a new stamp it will issue in 2023.
The stamp will be among a host of new designs that will be offered next year, including ones that honor Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, author Toni Morrison and artist Roy Lichtenstein.
“These miniature works of art highlight our unique American culture and offer a broad selection for those looking to collect stamps or send their mail around the nation or the world,” said USPS Stamp Services Director William Gicker.
The women’s soccer stamp was designed by Antonio Alcalá using an illustration by Noah MacMillan.
“This stamp issuance celebrates women’s soccer in the United States,” the USPS said. “From youth leagues to the elite world champion U.S. national team, millions of girls and women throughout the country participate in this fast-paced, competitive sport. The graphic stamp artwork depicts a female soccer player in action, walloping a ball with a side volley.”
“Signed, sealed, delivered. Can’t wait to be in your mailboxes starting in 2023!” the USWNT said on Twitter.
