Shout It Loud: Baby Blue For Life

It has come to my attention recently that some of you idiots on the Internet aren’t quite so hot on the new Eagles throwback jerseys they’ll be debuting in Sunday’s game against the Lions. For reference, the Eagles wore these jerseys in their first season, fresh off coming out of the ashes of the old Frankford Yellow Jackets franchise. (Yes, Frankford itself once had an NFL franchise.)

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve slowly learned that it’s useless to trust the taste of anyone else, because most of you buffoons like really stupid shit. It’s pointless to try to change anyone’s minds when Fergie’s album is sixth on the Billboard 200 a full year after it’s been released. That’s like root canal topping the Billboard Top Things In The World, a chart I just made up.

But I think I might be able to change your mind on the new Eagles jerseys. The Eagles held a “Midnight Madness” event — “Midnight Madness”? Really? — that included Swoop, the Eagles cheerleaders and, for some reason, former Eagles punter Sean Landeta. (Landeta also punted for the Giants, the L.A. Rams, the St. Louis Rams, the Buccaneers, the Packers, the Rams again inbetween stints with the Eagles and the Giants again. He also punted for the Philadelphia Stars of the USFL, which was a football league sometime in the 1890s.)

Forget Landeta, though, and take a look at the Eagles throwback cheerleaders jerseys.
