Eagles to wear Super Bowl LII champions jersey patch in season opener

Share

As if Philadelphia fans haven't spent enough of their hard-earned money on Eagles championship gear, now there's yet another piece of must-have Super Bowl swag to add to the collection.

The Eagles will wear Nike jerseys with Super Bowl LII champions patches on them when they host the Atlanta Falcons in Week 1 on Thursday, Sept. 6, at Lincoln Financial Field, according to a posting on the Official NFL Shop's Instagram.

"The Eagles will wear this limited edition patch during the 2018 NFL season opener," the post reads. It also links to the website where you can purchase said jerseys.

We reached out to the Eagles to confirm and have not received a response.

The New England Patriots wore similar patches to begin the 2017 season but they most certainly will not be wearing Super Bowl champions patches to begin the 2018 season — because they lost Super Bowl LII by the score of 41-33 in a game in which Tom Brady dropped a pass and Nick Foles caught one for a touchdown.

Fans can purchase the Nike Eagles jerseys with the Super Bowl LII champions patch on Fanatics.com. They currently have 12 players available as of this posting: Carson Wentz, Foles, Zach Ertz, Jason Kelce, Fletcher Cox, Chris Long, Corey Clement, Lane Johnson, Alshon Jeffery, Malcolm Jenkins, Brandon Graham and Jalen Mills. There are green and black options as well as ladies' cuts. They retail for $119.99.

Here's a closer look at the patch:

UPDATE: here's what the actual patch will look like:
