Local Philly Designers Collaborate with Jason Kelce's Underdog Apparel for Charity Eagles Gear
Philadelphia, PA - The Philadelphia Eagles have teamed up with Jason Kelce's clothing company, Underdog Apparel, to create Birds gear that will benefit a local charity. Four unique designs have been unveiled by the trio of local designers Eric "HeavySlime" Kenney, Paul Granese, and Kees Holterman, who will see their work showcased at Eagles pro shops and online.
One of the new shirts was created by HeavySlime, whose signature skeleton graphic made a comeback with the team's logo in a retro font. The phrase "Bury the Doubt" is featured on the shirt, which encourages fans to believe in the team's chances to win back-to-back championships. Kenney, who has been building his reputation as an independent artist for over a decade, says it was gratifying to see his work taken up by the Eagles after years of working independently.
Other designs include a crewneck featuring a bald eagle clutching the team's Kelly green helmet by Paul Granese and a graphic tee with Swoop, the team's mascot, climbing out of Lincoln Financial Field on the back. The items are for sale at Underdog's website as well as at Eagles pro shops located at the Linc.
Profits from the apparel company will benefit (Be) Philly Foundation, an organization started by Kelce that raises money for charities supporting public schools in Philadelphia. This is the first time Underdog's shirts will be directly sold by the Eagles and all of them will be made in the United States with designs and printing done in Philadelphia.
The collaboration has been met with enthusiasm from fans, who see it as a great opportunity to showcase local talent while supporting a good cause. The limited-edition gear is a win-win for both the team and the community, promoting creativity and charity through Underdog Apparel's platform.

I'm so hyped that local Philly designers got a chance to showcase their skills with Jason Kelce's Underdog Apparel! It's awesome that profits will be going to (Be) Philly Foundation, supporting public schools in the city. The designs are on point too, love the retro font and skeleton graphic - gotta cop that shirt for myself!!! 
Can't wait to rock my new Birds gear while supporting a great cause 
these designs are fire, especially that HeavySlime tee with the "Bury the Doubt" phrase, it's like he's speaking straight to my soul 
love how all profits go to Be Philly Foundation too, gotta rep our city and support good causes 
can't wait to cop some of these sick Eagles gear 
, I love the retro font on the logo, it gives me chills 
. And can we talk about how cool it is that all the profits are going to support (Be) Philly Foundation? It's a win-win for everyone involved 
.
and that HeavySlime design is fire 
.
! I mean, it's always great to see local designers getting a shoutout and their work being showcased on a bigger stage. And, of course, supporting a good cause is always a win in my books 
. I mean, think about it, when we invest in our community, we're investin' in ourselves too. We're showin' that we care about the people around us, and that's what it's all about, right? So, to HeavySlime, Paul Granese, and Kees Holterman, kudos for bringin' your talents together with a great cause 
. And to Jason Kelce, thanks for spreadin' the love and makin' a difference in Philly's public schools 
.
. And its not just them, Jason Kelce's (Underdog Apparel) passion for charity is really inspiring. If we can support causes like this & see local talent thrive, then I think we're on the right track 
. It teaches us that when we put our skills to good use, amazing things happen.
. But seriously, it's dope that local designers got a chance to collaborate with Jason Kelce's company, HeavySlime's design is fire btw 
. And it's awesome that the profits go to (Be) Philly Foundation, supporting public schools in Philly is super important. The fact that they made all the shirts here in the US and had designs printed locally too, shows that Underdog Apparel is really committed to giving back to the community 
.
The fact that it's made in Philly too is just the icing on the cake 
. Can't wait to cop some of those sick designs!"
... I mean, I love Jason Kelce and the Eagles, but is it just another trend to get people buying merch? I don't know if I'm ready to shell out cash for a shirt that's just gonna collect dust in my closet. And what's with the charity aspect? Don't get me wrong, supporting public schools in Philly is awesome, but can't they just donate directly to (Be) Philly Foundation instead of selling it as merch? Plus, isn't there something about the designs being made by local designers that's a bit...green 
...or is that just marketing speak?
