No Eagles Jersey For William Penn Statue
Philadelphia
Democratic Mayor Jim Kenney said Tuesday he wants the city’s football team to win the big game. But his spokesman told WCAU-TV he didn’t want to risk putting the jersey on the statue.
The city placed a Phillies baseball cap on the statue during the 1993 World Series and a Flyers jersey on the statue during the 1997 Stanley Cup Final. Both teams lost.
The Philadelphia Eagles have never won a Super Bowl. They face the New England Patriots on Feb. 4 in Minneapolis.
Kenney said he plans to watch the game in Philadelphia.
