The United States Postal Service announced a diverse collection of stamp subjects for 2027, blending sports history, cultural celebrations, and folklore. The lineup includes honors for baseball Hall of Famer Willie Mays, who marks the 50th entry in the Black Heritage series, and legendary women's college basketball coach Pat Summitt.

The collection features a variety of themed sets, including a Lunar New Year stamp for the Year of the Goat and a commemorative U.S. Flag stamp marking the 250th anniversary of the Stars and Stripes. Other releases include a Love stamp and sets depicting vegetables, Halloween imagery, and unicorns.

A Mythical Creatures set will highlight regional cryptids, including the Mothman, Sasquatch, Jackalope, Squonk, and Champ.
