Update To Badges: Rookie Mint

Everyone loves badges. They’re a quick and easy way to highlight a few differentiating qualities about your Moments. To help make them even more useful, we’re making a change in the coming days to provide increased clarity around debut badges.

Based on feedback we’ve received from the NFL ALL DAY community, we will be renaming the Rookie Debut badge to Rookie Mint and applying it to all Moments minted during a player's rookie year (or in the Series tied to the player's rookie year, even if minting may come after the season ends, such as with our Series 1 Rewind content).

The changes will be reflected in the coming days.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• No current badges will be removed 
• Rookie Debut badges renamed to "Rookie Mint" - any Rookie Debut Moments are still the only "triple-badge rookie" Moments currently available
• Series 1 Moments that previously had only a Rookie Year badge will now also get a Rookie Mint badge
• Historical Series Moments will not get Rookie Mint badges (not minted during players’ rookie years)

THE DETAILS

‍

How will this affect badges on existing Moments?

There will be no removal of any badges. All Series 1 Moments released to date that have a Rookie Debut badge already qualify for Rookie Mint, so three-badge rookie Moments will still have three badges, but one will have a new name.

There will be some badge additions. The only currently available Moments that will see changes in badges displayed are Moments that have a Rookie Year badge, but did not previously have a Rookie Debut badge. These Moments will get the Rookie Mint badge added. This is because all currently available rookie Moments feature 2021 rookies and were minted for the 2021 season.

‍

What does this mean for the scarcity of the badge?

Though the change will mean more Series 1 Moments feature the Rookie Mint badge, it also means Historical Series Moments will not, helping preserve the overall scarcity of the badge. 

Under the previous badge definition, Historical Series Moments would have been eligible for the "Rookie Debut" badge if it was the first Moment minted from a player's rookie year. Now, Historical Series Moments will not receive the Rookie Mint badge since they will not have been minted during the player's rookie year.

There are also no new "triple-badge rookie" Moments created by this change. All Series 1 Moments which are getting the Rookie Mint badges newly applied do not have the NFL ALL DAY Debut badge. Thus, any Moments that previously featured the Rookie Debut badge will still be the only "triple-badge rookie" Moments currently available.

UPDATE APRIL 19 7:30 PM ET: Addition of parenthetical to reflect the fact that Moments will be considered minted during the season for the series to which they are tied (i.e. Series 1 Rewind Moments will be considered minted "during" the 2021 season for the sake of Rookie Mint badge application)
