Fathead and Walter Camp Football Foundation Announce Strategic Partnership
Fathead, the leading brand in sports and entertainment wall graphics, and the Connecticut-based Walter Camp Football Foundation (WCFF), selector of the nation’s oldest All-America football team, are proud to announce a new partnership aimed at honoring the legacy and future of college football.
This collaboration will see Fathead produce officially licensed wall decals and memorabilia featuring college football’s top players, coaches, and Walter Camp All-Americans.
The collection will debut in Fall 2025 and will be available for fans nationwide through www.Fathead.com.
A percentage of each sale will go towards supporting a newly created Walter Camp Athlete Innovators and Entrepreneur award, which will encourage and honor efforts by individuals on new ways to watch, play and consume sports. More information regarding the Walter Camp Athlete Innovators and Entrepreneur award will be forthcoming.
“We’re thrilled to partner with the Walter Camp Football Foundation, an institution that I care deeply about from my home state,” said Chris Hetherington, Owner and CEO of Fathead. “This partnership allows us to support not only the game’s greatest players but also the new generation of college athlete entrepreneurs who are changing the game off the field with innovative startups”.
John Barbarotta, president of the Walter Camp Football Foundation, added, “We’ve admired Chris for a long time from his days as a standout student-athlete at Yale University and in the NFL and now as a business leader. We look at this partnership as an opportunity to reintroduce “Father of American Football” Walter Camp and the innovations he had that helped shape the great game of football.”

About the Walter Camp Foundation
Considered the “Father of American Football,” Walter Camp introduced the play from scrimmage, set plays, the numerical assessment of goals and tries and the restriction of play to eleven men per side in 1880. Nine years later, Mr. Camp, then the Yale University head coach, selected the first-ever college football All-America team. The Walter Camp Football Foundation – a New Haven-based all-volunteer group – was founded in 1967 to perpetuate the ideals of Camp and to continue the tradition of selecting annually an All-America team.
