From Yellowjacket Stings to Eagle Soaring: The Early Days (1933-ish)
The story starts back in 1933, when a group of ambitious Philadelphians (with a serious case of football fever) decided their city deserved a piece of the NFL pie. They saw their chance when the Frankford Yellowjackets, a local team that folded faster than a lawn chair in a hurricane, became available. For the princely sum of $2,500 (which probably wouldn't even buy a decent cheesesteak these days), the Eagles were born.
QuickTip: Don’t just consume — reflect.
Taking Flight: Championship Wins and a Few Feathery Moments (1940s-2000s)
Now, the Eagles' history isn't exactly a victory lap parade. There have been glorious moments, for sure. We're talking three pre-Super Bowl NFL championships (those were the days!) in the 40s and a dramatic Super Bowl win in 2018 that had the whole city clucking with joy. But let's be honest, there have also been some seasons that left fans feeling more like pigeons pecking at week-old fries.
QuickTip: Repeat difficult lines until they’re clear.
Important Note: We will not be discussing the dark times in detail here. We're all about celebrating the Eagles' victories, both on and off the field (like that time they stole the hearts of America with their underdog Super Bowl run).
QuickTip: Pay attention to first and last sentences.
