Philadelphia Football Shirt: Ugly Christmas Tee in Midnight Green, a Fan Gift for All Ages
The eagle on this crest has one foam finger raised, a pom-pom beanie pulled down over his head and the expression of somebody who has been standing in the snow a while and intends to keep standing in it.
Philadelphia Fan is midnight green and silver, worked into a knitted-look badge on a Christmas tee, for the December night when the party and the game land on top of each other.
He has a teal and white striped scarf and his own small reindeer sweater. Nobody asked him to do that.
Why it is a badge and not a logo
The design is a circular knitted-look crest in the city’s colours with the city name arched above it. There is no team mark on it, and that is deliberate: this is a supporter tee for people from a city, and we are not pretending to be anything else. No logo, no licence, no borrowed badge.
What that buys you is a design that reads festive first and partisan second. It works in a room full of people supporting somebody else. A replica jersey does not.
The crest is charted the same way our knitwear is, on a proper grid, which is why the wordmark stays legible across the chest instead of blurring at the arch.
The Ugly Rating: 5 out of 10
Midnight green reads darker and calmer than most of the range, so the crest has to carry the whole joke. The eagle does it without moving a feather.
The Chief Festivity Officer gave it a 5 and observed that a bird in a hat wearing a sweater with a deer on it is three layers of costume deep, which he respects.
What the cast made of it
Raccoon, Chief Operating Officer
Filed it, approved it, moved on. Asked once whether the eagle needed a contract.
Sitting Duck, Head of Quality Control
Studied the eagle for a long time, said that he is doing the same job outdoors, and sat down.
Owl, Head of Knitwear
Confirmed the striped scarf holds two colours per row the whole way along, and asked that this be recorded. It has been recorded.
Bull, Head of Careful Handling
Pointed out that a pale tee at a December party meets gravy sooner or later, and recommended holding the plate low. Nobody has done this.
Every form Philadelphia Fan comes as
Six, all printed rather than knitted, so all of them order much later than the knit line.
The badge tee, $27.99
The knitted-look crest on a soft tee, XS to 5XL, one flat price at every size, in five colours: Pure White, Blue, Green, Mauve and Vintage White. The cheapest way into the range and the one that gets worn all season.
The kids tee, $24.99
The same crest on a youth tee, sizes S to XL. It is the one that gets a whole family into the same colours on game day, and it is the cheapest way to do it.
The toddler tee, $21.99
Sizes 2T to 5T, same crest again. Small enough that the badge takes up most of the front, which is the point.
The all-over-print sweatshirt, $79.99
The same midnight green and silver taken across the whole garment rather than sitting in a crest, printed before the sweatshirt is sewn so the pattern runs over every seam. 2XS to 6XL, one flat price throughout.
The couples tee set, $49.99
Two badge tees, $49.99 together against $55.98 apart. Two people, one city. Order two different sizes, the set expects it.
The couples sweatshirt set, $144.99
Two all-over-print sweatshirts, $144.99 together against $159.98 apart. 2XS to 5XL on both halves, and two different sizes is the normal order. The full commitment version.
Wearing it to both events
Dark denim, plain boots, one jacket that comes off at the door. The crest sits high enough to survive a scarf, which matters in December, and the deep green takes lamplight better than a bright colour does.
Both the tee and the sweatshirt run true to size in a relaxed unisex fit. Size up for a slouchier shape. Every size is the same price on every form, and it stays that way.
Group orders are common on the fan designs, because a row of people in the same city colours photographs better than a row of people in different ones. The corporate page handles anything over 25.
When can you get it?
Everything in this design is printed, so it orders much later than the knits.
Order by December 11 in the USA for delivery before Christmas, or December 16 with express at checkout. Internationally, November 26 standard and December 14 express.
Printed to order in three to seven business days, so nothing sells out. The knitted designs close much earlier, on November 15. Every date is on the shipping and cut-off page.
FAQ
Is this official team merchandise?
No. It is a supporter design in city colours with the city name on it. There is no team mark and no licence, and we are not implying one.
What are the colours?
Midnight green and silver, worked into a knitted-look crest with a deadpan eagle superfan in the middle of it.
Is the tee or the sweatshirt better for a party?
The sweatshirt is louder, because the design covers the whole garment. The tee is the one that gets worn again in February.
Does the price change by size?
Never. $27.99 for the tee from XS to 5XL, $79.99 for the sweatshirt from 2XS to 6XL, one price the whole way up.
What colours does the tee come in?
Five: Pure White, Blue, Green, Mauve and Vintage White. The crest is the same on all of them.
How late can I order it?
December 11 standard in the USA, December 16 with express. November 26 standard internationally, December 14 express.
The Festive Folks’ Verdict
Buy Philadelphia Fan if you want city colours that behave indoors and a bird who refuses to react. It scores a 5, it starts at $27.99, and it is the calmest of the fan designs.
The Bull would like you to hold your plate low. He will be ignored.
Official Eagles gear, and what we make instead
If you want the licensed logo, NFL Shop is the place, and it is worth knowing what they carry before you look. Their holiday range for the Eagles runs to about forty pieces and it is mostly decor, ornaments, blankets and gifts. Their apparel is ordinary team knitwear, sweaters and cardigans in team colours.
What they do not sell is an ugly Christmas sweater. Search their site for one and you get cardigans. That gap is the whole reason this design exists.
