\n Goodyear<\/span> announces a vintage blimp design for its 100th<\/sup> anniversary<\/p>\n

\n
\n AKRON, Ohio<\/span>
\n <\/span>, April 1, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — In celebration of the Goodyear Blimp’s 100th<\/sup> anniversary this year, the company today announced that its blimp Wingfoot One<\/i> will fly with an entirely new look inspired by Goodyear’s<\/span> very first branded blimp Pilgrim.<\/i><\/p>\n

\n <\/a>\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The company’s iconic airship is being re-wrapped with a black and silver color scheme, including a vintage Goodyear<\/span> logo on the sides and a reappearance of the blue and yellow Goodyear<\/span> “house flag” that donned the side of the company’s earliest blimps. The new design is intended to surprise and delight fans of the Goodyear Blimp and serve as a visual representation of the airship’s 100-year history that will spark conversations about this significant milestone throughout the remainder of the year. Goodyear’s<\/span> other blimps will maintain their current blue and yellow design.<\/p>\n

“Bringing back the look of Goodyear’s<\/span> first branded blimp is a fitting tribute as we mark our 100th<\/sup> anniversary,” said Laura Duda<\/span>, Goodyear’s<\/span> senior vice president and Chief Communications Officer. “The vintage design pays homage to the rich history of the Goodyear Blimp and is intended to evoke a sense of nostalgia and excitement among our fans as we celebrate this year.”<\/p>\n

The vintage wrap process takes several weeks to complete. Once applied, Wingfoot One <\/i>will make its first public appearance this year dressed as Pilgrim<\/i>, and Goodyear<\/span> wants fans to guess where it will show up first. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Goodyear Blimps have a long history of making aerial appearances at the biggest events, from the World Series to the Olympics and Academy Awards. Fans are encouraged to tag @GoodyearBlimp on social media with their best guess and follow the accounts for hints along the way.<\/p>\n

\n Celebrating 100 Years
<\/b>
\n Goodyear<\/span> recognizes June 3, 2025<\/span>, as the official date of the blimp’s 100th<\/sup> anniversary. Goodyear Blimp fans can participate in this exciting milestone by following along with the blimp’s 100+ city tour on GoodyearBlimp.com<\/a> and on social media to watch for opportunities to see the larger-than-life icon up close as it travels the country for aerial appearances throughout the year.<\/p>\n

Fans can also enter for a chance to win a once-in-a-lifetime passenger flight experience through the “Buy for a Chance to Fly” sweepstakes. The three winners selected will receive a blimp flight certificate for two passengers redeemable at any of Goodyear’s<\/span> three U.S. airship bases (Carson, California<\/span>; Pompano Beach, Florida<\/span> or Akron, Ohio<\/span>) along with a $3,000<\/span> voucher for travel and accommodations. From Jan. 1 through April 10, 2025<\/span>, fans interested in winning a flight are encouraged to purchase tires on Goodyear.com or through Goodyear’s<\/span> Auto Service or Just Tires network and enter the sweepstakes via a form on Goodyear.com<\/a> (no purchase necessary, terms and conditions apply).*<\/p>\n

\n A media kit, including still images and a time lapse video of the vintage wrap application is available here<\/a><\/b>. For more images of the <\/b>
\n blimp throughout history, details about its milestone moments and more information about the 100th<\/sup> anniversary celebrations, please see the Blimp 100th<\/sup> Anniversary press kit and media gallery<\/a><\/b>.<\/b>\n <\/p>\n
