Philadelphia Eagles and Jason Kelce's Underdog Apparel Partner with Local Designers for Charity-Laced Merchandise
In a bid to support a good cause, the Philadelphia Eagles have teamed up with local designers to create limited-edition merchandise that will benefit the Be Philly Foundation. The collaboration features four unique designs on T-shirts and sweatshirts, all of which are now available at the team's pro shops and Underdog Apparel's website.
One of the standout designs is from Eric "HeavySlime" Kenney, a local artist whose work has been featured in HBO's "Task". The graphic showcases HeavySlime's signature skeleton wearing a Super Bowl ring, accompanied by the iconic Eagles logo in retro font. This design serves as a call to action for fans to believe in the team's chances of winning back-to-back championships.
Kenney, who is excited about his collaboration with the Eagles, believes that this partnership will bring positive change to the football world. "I think it's been a long time coming for these teams to start using artists like me to design their merch," he said. The profits from Underdog Apparel will go towards supporting charities such as Be Philly Foundation, which funds after-school programs in Philadelphia and works with Heights Philadelphia to provide low-income youth with college preparation and career growth.
The other designers involved are Paul Granese and Kees Holterman. Granese's designs feature a bald eagle clutching the Eagles' Kelly green helmet on one shirt, while Holterman created a graphic tee with Swoop, the team's mascot, climbing out of Lincoln Financial Field on the back.
Kelce, who founded Underdog Apparel in 2022, is thrilled to see his brand associated with the Eagles. "To be able to associate them with the team I love so dearly is awesome," he said. The shirts will all be made in the United States and designed and printed in Philadelphia, marking a new chapter for Underdog Apparel.
The partnership between the Eagles and local designers aims to bring fans together while supporting a great cause. As Kenney put it, "It's a little surreal because I've been doing my own branded stuff for so long, but it's really cool for them to take notice finally."

... gotta love that they're supporting local designers like Eric Kenney 
. It's dope to see the team collaborating with artists who are pushing boundaries, not just slapping their logos on anything. And the designs are straight fire 
! I'm low-key hoping these shirts will fly off the shelves and help make a real impact for the Be Philly Foundation 
. Kelce's Underdog Apparel is doing its thing, and now they're using their platform to give back to the community 
... kudos to that, Jase

its not just about selling merch, its about giving back to the community 
! It's awesome that Jason Kelce's Underdog Apparel is gettin' in on the charity scene and supportin' a good cause 
And it's cool to see Kelce bein' all supportive of his own brand, even if it is with a great organization like Be Philly Foundation 
. The fact that they're makin' these shirts in Philly and supportin' local artists just gives me more reason to cop one myself 
. What do you guys think? Would you rock an Eagles-themed merch with a charity twist? 
So these Eagles are teaming up with local designers to make some sick merch that'll benefit the Be Philly Foundation? That's what I call a touchdown! 
Still, I'm all about supporting local artists and charities, so I'll definitely be checking out these limited-edition tees
