Eagles To Honor Ikea, Denver Nuggets

The Philadelphia Eagles announced today they would honor both Ikea and the Denver Nuggets with an their alternate third jersey this season.

Above, Jevon Kearse and David Akers celebrate the deals on medium-quality inexpensive furniture from Eagles’ owner Jeffrey Lurie’s deal with the Swedish furniture maker. Akers even got a free Allen Iverson jersey.

Also, the news article on the website contains this lie, according to Brad Maule of Phillyskyline:

The Swedes were in Philadelphia before the arrival of William Penn and he incorporated their colors into the City of Philadelphia’s flag.

Brad told me in an exclusive IM message he sent to me the flag was dedicated in 1885. Nonetheless, you can already buy these blue and yellow jerseys and other merchandise on the Eagles website. As you may have guessed, I’ve already purchased a hat because I’m a fucking sheep. Baa.

Update: Oh, forget it. Some items, like the Donovan McNabb jersey, won’t ship until September 15, just in time for Week 2 of the NFL season.

    Does the hat come with free Swedish meatballs?
