As the NFL celebrates its 100-year anniversary in 2019, Monday Night Football is approaching 50 years of being a groundbreaking event that changed the trajectory of football as we know it.

To help celebrate these monumental anniversaries, ESPN decided to completely redo, refresh and reimagine its entire Monday Night Football visual package which included new graphics, new hosts, fresh studio sets -- and a new take on the show opener, which for the last 20 years has featured legendary country rocker Hank Williams Jr. asking the more than 11 million weekly viewers, “Are you ready for some football?”
