Personality badges have one tier affecting hot & cold streaks, ambient animations, and facial expressions. Skill badges have three tiers: Bronze, Silver and Gold. They’re categorized as Outside Scoring, Inside Scoring, Athleticism, Playmaking, Rebounding and Defensive badges. Once you earn the bronze version, you can then purchase the silver and gold upgrades with VC (note that the personality badges just have one tier to them).

HALL OF FAME BADGE UPGRADE
Hall of Fame Badges - Hall of Fame badges are an upgraded and better version to the Gold Badges. You can only get them on the specific badges that can be upgraded for your Archetype (i.e. I'm a playmaker so I can only have HoF Dimer, Lob City Passer, Flashy Passer, etc. I can't have any of the shooting badges on HoF or upgraded because I'm not a Sharpshooter, I repeat you can only upgrade YOUR specific Archetype badges). You need to have Gold badge unlocked. After that you need to complete exactly what you did to unlock the base bronze badge. So 50 Flashy Passes will get you Flashy Passer bronze, after you have that you'll need to do an additional 50 Flashy Passes to unlock HoF version of the badge.
Will update this guide soon with screenshots and videos.
