On a professional sports special episode of Celebrity Family Feud, MLB legends like Ozzie Smith play against NBA legends including James Worthy, and two teams of NFL football players will compete against each other – NFL Hall of Famers vs. NFL All-Stars. The Hall of Famers, led by Marshall Faulk, stand out on the Celebrity Family Feud stage as all five men are wearing gold jackets.

When a player is inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame, the laureate gets a gold jacket. The color is to symbolize “the gold standard of their profession.” The jackets are custom tailored to fit Hall of Famers including Larry Allen (size 60, extra long!). Each has a custom lining and buttons with the Hall of Fame logo and a special label with the Hall of Famer’s name and enshrinement number. Since its inception in 1963, 310 men have been inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame. Celebrity Family Feud airs Sundays at 8pm on ABC.
