The 'Philadelphia Eagles' are a professional
American football team based in
Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. The Eagles joined the
National Football League (NFL) as an
expansion team in 1933. Currently members of the
Eastern Division of the
National Football Conference (NFC), the team has won three
NFL titles and made two
Super Bowl appearances (
1980,
2004).
Franchise history
Midway through the 1931 season, 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
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.
With the merger of the
NFL and
AFL in 1970, the Eagles were placed in the
NFC East Division with their archrivals the
New York Giants, the
Washington Redskins, and the
Dallas Cowboys. 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 their first
NFC East division title in 1980 and 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 fan base. From 1988 to 1996, the Eagles qualified for the playoffs during 6 out of those 9 seasons, but they won the
NFC East only once, in 1988. 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. From that time on the team continually improved, returning to the playoffs in 2000, then succeeding in winning the
NFC East and 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 again in 2004,
Super Bowl XXXIX, where they were defeated by the
New England Patriots, 24-21. Following a 2005 season marred by injuries and controversy among its star players, the Eagles returned to the playoffs in 2006 with an improbable run of 5 consecutive wins to end the season, bringing the team its fifth
NFC East title under Coach Reid.
Logo and uniforms
Philadelphia logo of an eagle in flight (1973-1995)
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 redrawn several years later to be a more realistic.
Eagles alternate logo 1973-1995. This logo could be seen on the jersey sleeves from
1984 to
1995.
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.
Eagles primary logo 1996-present.
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 Francisco 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.
Alternate Eagles logo (1996-present)
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 Philadelphia Eagles have only worn the black jerseys with the white pants. The team also started wearing black shoes exclusively in 2004.
To celebrate the team's 75th anniversary, the 2007 uniforms will feature a 75th season logo patch on the left shoulder. In addition, The team will wear 'throwback' jerseys in a game against the
Detroit Lions. The yellow and blue jerseys, the same colors found on Philadelphia's city flag, are based on those worn by the Philadelphia Eagles in the team's inaugural season, and were the same colors used by the former
Frankford Yellowjackets franchise prior to their suspension of operations in 1931.

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!! '

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
[3], 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. Every year they are among the top teams in the league when it comes to training camp attendance. The Eagles go above and beyond to create a fan friendly atmosphere. They have games and activities for children; and raffles, food, autograph sessions, and merchandise for fans of all ages.
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.
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 enters an open tryout with the Eagles and makes the team. Papale is played by
Mark Wahlberg who later shows up in the film ''
Shooter'' wearing an Eagles jacket and ball cap. In reality, while at the time he was in fact a bartender, Papale had previously 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. Papale played three seasons with the Eagles playing
wide receiver and
special teams.
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.
