The Philadelphia Eagles are a professional American football team based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Eagles joined the NFL as an expansion team in 1933. Currently members of the Eastern Division of the National Football Conference in the National Football League, the team has won three NFL titles and made two Super Bowl appearances (1980, 2004).
Franchise history
Midway through the 1931 season, Philadelphia's representative in the NFL, the Frankford Yellow Jackets, went bankrupt and ceased operations. After more than a year of searching for a suitable replacement, the NFL awarded the dormant franchise to a syndicate headed by former Yellow Jackets owners Bert Bell and Lud Wray, in exchange for an entry fee of $2,500. Drawing inspiration from the insignia of the centerpiece of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal, the National Recovery Act, Bell and Wray named the new franchise the Philadelphia Eagles. (Neither the Eagles nor the NFL officially regard the two franchises as the same, citing the aforementioned period of dormancy; furthermore, almost no Yellow Jackets players were on the Eagles' first roster. Some observers, however, believe the two teams should be treated as one.) The Eagles, along with the Pittsburgh Steelers and the defunct Cincinnati Reds, joined the NFL as expansion teams.
The Eagles struggled over the course of their first decade, enduring repeated losing seasons. In 1943, when manpower shortages stemming from World War II made it impossible to fill the roster, the team temporarily merged with the Pittsburgh Steelers to form a team known as "the Phil-Pitt Steagles." (The merger, never intended as a permanent arrangement, was dissolved at the end of the 1943 season.) By the late 1940s, head coach Earle "Greasy" Neale and running back Steve Van Buren led the team to three consecutive NFL Championship Games, winning two of them in 1948 and 1949. Those two Championships mark the Eagles as the only NFL team ever to win back to back Championships by shutouts, defeating the Chicago Cardinals 7-0 in 1948 and the Los Angeles Rams 14-0 in 1949.
The Eagles won their third NFL championship in 1960 under the leadership of future Pro Football Hall of Famers Norm Van Brocklin and Chuck Bednarik; the head coach was Buck Shaw. The 1960 Eagles, by a score of 17-13, became the only team to defeat Vince Lombardi and his Packers in the playoffs.
But they would not qualify for the postseason again until 1978 when head coach Dick Vermeil and quarterback Ron Jaworski led the team to four consecutive playoff appearances, including a Super Bowl XV loss to the Oakland Raiders.
Philadelphia football struggled through the Marion Campbell years of the mid 1980s and was marked by a malaise in fan participation. In 1986, the arrival of head coach Buddy Ryan and his fiery attitude rejuvenated team performance and ignited the fanbase. From 1988 to 1996, the Eagles qualified for the playoffs during 6 out of those 9 seasons. Among the team's offensive stars during that period were quarterback Randall Cunningham, tight end Keith Jackson, and running back Keith Byars. But the "Gang Green" defense is what defined the team, led by Reggie White, Jerome Brown, Clyde Simmons, Seth Joyner, Wes Hopkins, Byron Evans, Eric Allen, and Andre Waters.
In 1999, the Eagles hired head coach Andy Reid and drafted quarterback Donovan McNabb. Since that time, the team continually improved and eventually succeeded in playing in four consecutive conference championship games between 2001 and 2004. After losing the conference championship in 2001 to the St. Louis Rams, in 2002 to the eventual Super Bowl Champions Tampa Bay Buccaneers and 2003 to the Carolina Panthers, the Eagles finally advanced to the Super Bowl, Super Bowl XXXIX, where they were defeated by the New England Patriots, 24-21.
Logo and uniforms
For several decades, the Eagles' colors were Kelly green, silver, and white. Since the 1950s, the club's helmets have featured eagle wings. At first they were silver wings on a Kelly green helmet. Then in 1969, the team wore two helmet versions: Kelly green helmets with white wings for road games, and white helmets with Kelly green wings for home games. From 1970 to 1973, they wore the white helmets with Kelly green wings exclusively before switching back to Kelly green helmets with silver wings. By 1974 the silver wings took on a white outline, and this style on a Kelly green helmet became standard for over two decades. In 1969, the team introduced a stylized logo featuring an eagle carrying a football in its claws. This logo was later redrawn a few years later to be a more realistic.
However, both the logo and uniforms were radically altered in 1996. The primary Kelly green color was changed to a darker shade (Hex triplet: #003b48) officially described as "midnight green"; silver was practically abandoned, as uniform pants moved to either white or the aforementioned midnight green; and the traditional helmet wings were changed to a primarily white color, with silver and black accents. The team's logo combination - the stylized eagle and club name lettering - also changed in 1996, with the eagle itself limited to a white (bald eagle) head, drawn in a less realistic, more cartoon-based style, and the lettering changing from calligraphic to block letters.
Since the dramatic 1996 alterations, the team has made only minor alterations, mostly relating to jersey/pant combinations worn during specific games. For example, in 1997, against the San Fransisco 49ers, the team wore midnight green jerseys and pants for the first of only 2 times in team history. And in the first two games of the 2003 season (both home losses to Tampa Bay and New England), the Eagles wore white jerseys with white pants. The white jerseys along with white pants are worn during their Preseason games, since 2003. However, in every regular season game since the New England loss, when the team has worn the white jersey they have paired it with green pants.
The 2003 season also saw the first, though only subtle changes to the 1996-style uniform. On both white and green jerseys, black shadows and silver trim were added to both the green and white numbering. The stripe on the pants changed; from black-green-black to black-silver-green on the white pants, and from a solid black stripe to one stripe of black, another of silver, with one small white stripe in between for the midnight green pants. The '03 season also saw the team debut black alternate jerseys, with a green (instead of black) shadow on white numbers, and silver trim. These black jerseys have been worn for two selected home games each season. In the 2003 and 2004 regular-season home finales, the team wore the green road pants with the black alternate jerseys, but lost each game. Since then, the Eagles have only worn the black jerseys with the white pants. The team also started wearing black shoes exclusively in 2004.
In the 2007 preseason, owner Jeffery Lurie announced plans to celebrate the 75th season of Eagles' football. The 2007 uniforms will all feature an official Philadelphia Eagles 75th Season logo patch on the left shoulder. In addition, Lurie announced the designation of a "throwback game" where the Eagles would wear modern interpretations of the original 1933 uniforms.[1] These uniforms and other related merchandise was modeled after Lurie's announcement by kicker David Akers and defensive end Jevon Kearse. The game will be a home contest against the Detroit Lions, September 22, 2007.
Fight song
Eagles fans will sing after an Eagles touchdown.
Fly, Eagles fly, on the road to victory!
Fight, Eagles, fight, score a touchdown one-two-three!
Hit 'em low, hit 'em high,
And watch our Eagles fly!
Fly, Eagles fly, on the road to victory!
E-A-G-L-E-S, EAGLES!! [1]
Eagles training camp
The Eagles begin each season with summer training camp at the football practice facilities of Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, about 50 miles north of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley.
Eagles' training camps routinely draw some of the largest and most enthusiastic crowds[2], often as many as 10,000 fans, of any NFL training camp. The Eagles' twice-daily practices are held from mid-July to mid-August.
On the first day of 2004 training camp, over 100,000 spectators appeared to see new star Terrell Owens (who is no longer a member of the team).
Charitable activity
Eagles Fly for Leukemia, Ronald McDonald Houses
In 1971, Kim Hill, the daughter of Philadelphia Eagles tight end Fred Hill was diagnosed with leukemia. As Fred & his family dealt with the devastating blow to the family, his teammates and owner Leonard Tose pledged their emotional support.
As Fred continued to research Kim's leukemia, the support of Leonard Tose and the Philadelphia Eagles continued to inspire him. The Eagles held fundraising dinners, the team made individual contributions, and Fred and Kim continued to bravely battle this disease.
After Kim's successful treatment, Fred realized how powerful the spirit of solidarity that his teammates displayed truly was. Fred became committed to helping other families battle pediatric cancers. From helping them identify resources, to assisting financially, Fred & his teammates continued their fight against childhood cancers. In 1972, Philadelphia Eagles owner Leonard Tose officially recognized Eagles Fly for Leukemia as the official philanthropy of the Philadelphia Eagles Football Club.
The spirit of the Eagles and Leonard Tose led to the development of the world's first Ronald McDonald House- a place for families to find shelter when their children are sick. Now, over 200 Ronald McDonald house's shelter thousands of families around the world.
The spirit continued, and over the last 30 years, Eagles Fly for Leukemia has raised over $10 million towards pediatric cancer research and Family Support.
In 1991, Eagles Fly for Leukemia soared higher, and established themselves as a free-standing non-profit organization, outside of the Philadelphia Eagles Football Club. However, the spirit remains, as the team continues to support and encourage Eagles Fly for Leukemia initiatives.
Eagles Youth Partnership
In 1995, in an effort to better give back to the community, Eagles Youth Partnership (EYP) was formed as a 501(c)(3) public charity in the emerging field of sports philanthropy.
Eagles Youth Partnership serves over 50,000 low income children in the Greater Philadelphia region every year via two mobile units - the Eagles Eye Mobile, which gives eye examinations, and the Eagles Book Mobile, a literacy program. EYP is also known for annual playground builds in underserved neighborhoods, an annual chess tournament, and a variety of other programs and events.
The Philadelphia Eagles Football Club is Eagles Youth Partnership's largest funder. The Eagles also donate free office space, staff support and other resources. Corporate, foundation and individual donors join to support Eagles Youth Partnership's efforts.
Radio broadcasts
Eagles games are broadcast in the greater Philadelphia area on 94.1 FM WYSP, in Northeastern Pennsylvania on 97.9 FM WBSX, in Southern New Jersey on 103.7 FM WMGM, and in the Harrisburg / Lancaster / York area on 105.7 FM WQXA.
Bill Campbell was the longtime radio voice of the Eagles, and broadcast their 1960 NFL Championship. Merrill Reese has been the radio voice of the Eagles since 1977. He is currently complemented by the color commentary of former five time All-Pro Eagles wide receiver Mike Quick, noted for his unique turns of phrase (e.g., "McNABB-ulous!"). Before Quick, Reese's sidekick was Stan Walters, former All-Pro Eagles offensive tackle who was loved for his "tell it like it is" approach and hometown bias. His descriptions of the action on the field, especially the line play, were very insightful.
Reese is known for his deep voice, which rises with enthusiasm on positive Eagles' plays. Reese's fairly unique play-by-play radio coverage, combined with his extensive knowledge of the Eagles and the NFL generally, has gained deep respect among the Eagles' loyal fan base. His coverage also is often played as part of national replays of Eagles' highlights.
Reese's play-by-play of the final minute of the Eagles' victory over the Atlanta Falcons in the 2004 NFC Championship Game (to send the Eagles to Super Bowl XXXIX) is a frequently replayed radio broadcast segment.
Eagles in popular culture
In John Irving's novel The World According to Garp the protagonist's sidekick is a transsexual former Eagles tight end, played in the film adaptation by John Lithgow.
The 1998 film The Garbage Picking Field Goal Kicking Philadelphia Phenomenon stars Tony Danza as a Philadelphia sanitation worker. Because his garbage truck fails to close its payload properly, he is forced to kick it shut. As a result, his leg becomes so strong that he can kick field goals beyond 50 yards, and the Eagles sign him as their kicker.
This fictional tale is similar to the true story of Vince Papale, dramatized in the 2006 film Invincible. In the movie, Vince Papale is a 30 year old bartender who enteres an open tryout with the Eagles and makes the team. In reality, Papale had played for the World Football League's Philadelphia Bell, and did well enough to earn a private workout with then Eagles head coach Dick Vermeil.
The 2003 Adam Sandler film Anger Management features Jonathan Loughran portraying a Philadelphia sports fan who is a member of an anger management group, poking fun at Philadelphia's unfortunate penchant for losses and irate fans. Loughran is seen in the film wearing a #5 Donovan McNabb Eagles jersey, as well as a #6 Julius Erving Sixers jersey. [3][4]
