The Philadelphia Eagles and Jason Kelce's clothing company, Underdog Apparel, have joined forces with three local designers to create limited-edition Birds gear that will benefit a worthy cause.
Four unique designs, each showcasing the team's iconic colors and retro graphics, are now available for sale at the team's pro shops and online. The new merchandise is part of a charitable initiative aimed at raising money for the (Be) Philly Foundation, an organization co-founded by Kelce in 2022 that supports Philadelphia public schools.
Local artist Eric "HeavySlime" Kenney, known for his distinctive styles featured on HBO's Delco crime drama "Task," has designed one of the new shirts. The graphic features a skeleton wearing a Super Bowl ring, accompanied by the phrase "Bury the Doubt," which encourages fans to believe in the team's chances of winning back-to-back championships.
Kenney expressed gratitude for Underdog and the Eagles' collaboration, stating that it was long overdue for teams to support local artists. He believes that this partnership will not only benefit the charity but also promote a sense of community among fans.
Another local designer, Paul Granese, has contributed to the collection with his signature style. His crewneck shirt features an image of a bald eagle clutching the team's Kelly green helmet, while a hoodie boasts retro graphics on both the front and back.
The third artist involved is Kees Holterman, who created a graphic tee with Swoop, the Eagles' mascot, climbing out of Lincoln Financial Field. This design adds to the exciting range of merchandise now available for fans to show their team spirit.
Underdog's commitment to creating shirts that are both stylish and meaningful has been reinforced by Jason Kelce himself, who stated in a statement that he is thrilled with the collection. He also highlighted the importance of directly selling the brand's merchandise at the Eagles' pro shops, ensuring that all T-shirts will be made in the United States and designed and printed in Philadelphia.
The limited-edition Birds gear, available now, offers fans an opportunity to support a great cause while showcasing their team spirit.
