Bill Jordan, Realtree founder and CEO, will be inducted into the prestigious Legends of the Outdoors Hall of Fame on Aug. 17 in Springfield, Mo. The honor recognizes his contributions to the outdoor community, both locally in Columbus, Ga., and on a national scale.

The Legends of the Outdoors Hall of Fame was established to honor those outdoor sportsmen and sportswomen who have dedicated countless hours of hard work and devotion to the outdoors. These individuals have significantly contributed to setting the standards and guidelines for the outdoor world, particularly in hunting and fishing.

Jordan, a native of Columbus, Ga., has been an active member of the local community for years. His passion for the outdoors led to the founding of Realtree in 1986. Under his leadership, the company has grown into a leading brand in the outdoor industry, known for its innovative camouflage patterns and commitment to quality.

“We are incredibly proud of Bill’s accomplishments and his induction into the Legends of the Outdoors Hall of Fame,” said Realtree vice president Tyler Jordan. “I’m lucky enough to also call Bill my dad. Growing up and seeing the time, sacrifice, and effort he has put in for nearly 40 years has been incredible to watch firsthand. His leadership, vision, and commitment to the outdoor industry have inspired countless individuals and set a high standard for the community, our industry, and our team members right here in Columbus. This recognition is well-deserved, and we look forward to celebrating this milestone with him.”

Jordan’s induction into the Legends of the Outdoors Hall of Fame is a testament to his enduring impact on the outdoor community. The event, to be held this Saturday, celebrates his achievements and recognizes his role in shaping the future of hunting and fishing.
