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.

! Not only are the designs sick, but it's dope that the merch is supporting local artists and the Be Philly Foundation. It's always rad to see a company like Underdog putting people over profits 
. And can we talk about Jason Kelce for a sec? He's always been repping his community in the best way possible 
. I hope those limited-edition tees sell out fast, 'cause it's for a good cause! 
. And the fact that all the shirts are made in the US and designed in Philly is super cool! 
I'm lovin this collab btw! It's awesome that Underdog Apparel is supporting local designers & giving back to the community thru Be Philly Foundation 
The fact that Jason Kelce is also backing it up is a big thumbs up from me 
. kelce's got a good heart and hes trying to give back to the community. 4 out of 5, would wear that "bury the doubt" shirt 
. hope the charity thing actually makes a difference, not just some lip service 
. underdog's merch is always fire btw 
. It's awesome that Jason Kelce's company is supporting Be Philly Foundation and creating sick designs for the fans 
. I mean, who wouldn't want to cop a graphic tee featuring Swoop climbing out of the stadium? 
The retro graphics are so fire 
. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go cop one of these sweet Birds tees 
. The designs look fire too, can't wait to cop some of that Birds gear and rep my team spirit 
Jason Kelce's got a new way to slay the game... and it's not just with his snaps on the field! 
. And what's with the "Bury the Doubt" graphic? Sounds like some kinda motivational mumbo-jumbo... is there even any real substance behind that phrase? 
. The designs are fire too! "Bury the Doubt" shirt by HeavySlime has got me hyped. Paul Granese's graphics are always on point, and Kees Holterman's Swoop design is adorable 
. I love that they're making sure all T-shirts are made in the USA 
and get more people hyped about givin back to the community! Jason Kelce's heart is in the right place with this Be Philly Foundation thingy 
That's what I call awesome! 
️ Eric "HeavySlime" Kenney's graphic is so fire, and Paul Granese's crewneck shirt is giving me all the 80s vibes 
. The fact that these shirts are made in the US & designed/printed in Philly is super impressive - Jason Kelce really knows his stuff 
Paul Granese's crewneck shirt w/ the Eagles helmet is so underrated 
I think its awesome that Jason Kelce's company is teaming up with local designers to create merch that supports a good cause 
. I'm loving the designs, especially the one by Eric "HeavySlime" Kenney - who wouldn't want a shirt with a skeleton rocking a Super Bowl ring 
. Kelce is all about supporting the community and giving back to the city he loves 
. Can't wait to cop some of these limited-edition tees! 
, I'm so over these charity merchandise collabs 
. Can't they just make some decent, functional clothes for once? Like, I get it, supporting local designers and the Be Philly Foundation is cool and all 
, but we need more than just a few "limited-edition" tees that are just going to be resold online at inflated prices 
! I think it's awesome that Jason Kelce is using his platform to support local designers & raise money for (Be) Philly Foundation 
! It's awesome that Underdog Apparel is committing to creating shirts made in the US, designed & printed in Philly
