Goodyear announces a vintage blimp design for its 100th anniversary

AKRON, Ohio, April 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In celebration of the Goodyear Blimp's 100th anniversary this year, the company today announced that its blimp Wingfoot One will fly with an entirely new look inspired by Goodyear's very first branded blimp Pilgrim.

The company's iconic airship is being re-wrapped with a black and silver color scheme, including a vintage Goodyear logo on the sides and a reappearance of the blue and yellow Goodyear "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 other blimps will maintain their current blue and yellow design.

"Bringing back the look of Goodyear's first branded blimp is a fitting tribute as we mark our 100th anniversary," said Laura Duda, Goodyear's 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."

The vintage wrap process takes several weeks to complete. Once applied, Wingfoot One will make its first public appearance this year dressed as Pilgrim, and Goodyear wants fans to guess where it will show up first.  

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.

Celebrating 100 Years
Goodyear recognizes June 3, 2025, as the official date of the blimp's 100th anniversary. Goodyear Blimp fans can participate in this exciting milestone by following along with the blimp's 100+ city tour on GoodyearBlimp.com 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.

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 three U.S. airship bases (Carson, California; Pompano Beach, Florida or Akron, Ohio) along with a $3,000 voucher for travel and accommodations. From Jan. 1 through April 10, 2025, fans interested in winning a flight are encouraged to purchase tires on Goodyear.com or through Goodyear's Auto Service or Just Tires network and enter the sweepstakes via a form on Goodyear.com (no purchase necessary, terms and conditions apply).*
