Any Philadelphia “E-L-G-S-E-S” fans here?

‘E-L-G-S-E-S!’ Philly mayor flubs Eagles chant ahead of snowy playoff game

We’ve all been there at some point, struggling with the spelling of E-A-G-L-E-S during an impromptu Eagles chant. It just wasn’t caught on video.

During a wintry weather preparations news conference in the hours before the Philadelphia Eagles’ snowy playoff win over the Los Angles Rams, Mayor Cherelle Parker had her moment of messing up the chant.

“Listen: we gotta do this,” the first-term Democrat said while standing outside with city officials after deeming travel to the Jan. 19, 2025, Eagles game “essential.”

“Let me hear you all sing,” Parker — wearing a kelly green beanie and scarf — says before leading the crowd with a chant of “E-L-G-S-E-S, Eagles!” Some people in the crowd can be heard chanting the proper spelling.

“Let’s Go, Birds!” she says before stepping away from the podium.

The error wasn’t apparently caught in real time Sunday, but started making rounds on social media in the hours after the Eagles advanced to the NFC Championship Game.

“We don’t promise perfection, I’m so happy that I never have, especially after I couldn’t spell Eagles right,” Parker said with a chuckle at an unrelated event in Kensington Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2025. The comment got laughs from those in the room.

In true Philly fashion, Parker’s flub has already inspired a T-shirt. Phillygoat is selling a kelly green “E-L-G-S-E-S” shirt in several sizes.

We will need to wait and see if Parker will get a chance at Eagles chant redemption ahead of Sunday’s showdown with the division rival from Washington.

Translation, it took days to figure out the error.
Not everyone cares about football, and not everyone from her neigborhood even knows what an eagle is. Especially with how Macy's ran wannamakers to the ground.

Yes. It took days to figure out because in Kensington they are either in a junkie mania, doing graffiti or plain old dead.
