On 9 February 2025, the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Kansas City Chiefs 40–22 at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, and Jalen Hurts was named Super Bowl LIX MVP. It was the franchise's second Super Bowl title, and it was the game that turned a good quarterback into a permanent part of Philadelphia's jersey wall.
This is the story of that night, the season that followed it, and the shirts that carry both.
Key facts
- Super Bowl LIX: Eagles 40, Chiefs 22 — 9 February 2025, Caesars Superdome, New Orleans.
- Hurts' line: 17 of 22 passing for 221 yards, two passing touchdowns and one interception; 11 carries for 72 yards and a rushing score.
- His 72 rushing yards were the most by a quarterback in Super Bowl history — breaking his own record of 70, set two years earlier in Super Bowl LVII.
- Saquon Barkley finished that season with 2,857 yards from scrimmage and 2,504 rushing yards across the regular season and playoffs, breaking both of Terrell Davis' 1998 records.
- Cooper DeJean returned an interception 38 yards for a touchdown on his 22nd birthday — the first player in NFL history to score a Super Bowl touchdown on his birthday.
- Kansas City was held scoreless on its first nine drives and Mahomes was sacked six times.
- The season after: Philadelphia won the NFC East again in 2025, then lost the Wild Card round 23–19 to San Francisco at Lincoln Financial Field.

| Halftime | Eagles 24, Chiefs 0 |
| Hurts passing | 17/22, 221 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT |
| Hurts rushing | 11 carries, 72 yards, 1 TD |

| MVP | Jalen Hurts |
The shape of the game matters if you are choosing a shirt. This was not a shootout that flattered the offence — it was a defence-first night where the quarterback did just enough, twice, at exactly the right moments, and where a rookie cornerback scored on his birthday. The Eagles' first title since February 2018 came seven years after the first one, and it came in the same midnight-green-adjacent palette that has defined the franchise for two decades.
The jersey question
Two Eagles shirts dominate the rack, and they are aimed at different people.
| Style | What it is | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Hurts Legend Player Performance top, Kelly green | The player-name build, light and close through the chest, made for wearing on its own | $74.99 |
| Kelce Legacy Replica, white 2011 | The classic boxy replica cut, roomy enough to layer over a hoodie | $79.99 |
If you want the name that won Super Bowl LIX, start with the Hurts top. If you want the name that defined the run that led to it, the answer is Jason Kelce — the centre who snapped to Hurts for thirteen seasons and retired after the 2023 season. The Eagles have always been a team whose most-loved shirts belong to linemen, and Kelce's is the clearest example in the catalogue.
Saquon Barkley's first Philadelphia season is the other obvious pick: his Kelly green Legend Player Performance top sits at the same $74.99 as Hurts'. Record-breaking running backs do not get many seasons; his was one of them.
The season after
Winning the Super Bowl did not make the Eagles unbeatable. In 2025 they won the NFC East again, and Hurts threw for 3,224 yards with a career-high 25 touchdowns against only six interceptions, completing 64.8% of his attempts and adding 421 rushing yards with eight more scores on the ground.
Then the Wild Card round happened: San Francisco 23, Philadelphia 19, at Lincoln Financial Field. Hurts went 20 of 35 for 168 yards and a touchdown. Barkley carried 26 times for 106 yards and did not reach the end zone. Two Quinyon Mitchell interceptions gave the Eagles life, and a late drive to the 49ers' 15 came up short on a fourth-and-long throw.
The aftermath was as loud as the loss: offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo did not return, and A.J. Brown's future in Philadelphia became a running story through the spring. That is the context in which the 2026 season opens — a roster that has proven it can win it all, and a fanbase that has proven it will not pretend the second-round exits never happened.
The names worth owning
Philadelphia's shirt culture runs deeper than any single season, and this is where the store's Philadelphia range earns its place. Beyond Hurts and Barkley, the names that sell are the ones tied to moments:
- Brian Dawkins — the safety who made the 2004 run the most feared defence in football, still the most-reprinted Eagles defensive shirt.
- Donovan McNabb, 1999 — the midnight green rookie-year shirt, and the start of the franchise's modern era.
- Reggie White, Kelly green — the pre-1996 colourway, still the one older Philadelphia fans ask for by name.
- Michael Vick, black 2012 — a throwback with a specific generation attached to it.
Where to start
Two paths are cleanest. If you already know the player, go straight to the Hurts jersey page or the full Philadelphia Eagles collection, which carries 348 items including women's, youth and Big & Tall builds. If you want the team-sized view — colourways, throwbacks, the retired rack — the Eagles team page lays it out by home, alternate and player edition.
One sizing note before you buy: NFL replica jerseys are cut full and boxy on purpose, so order your true size for the sideline look. If you plan to wear it over a hoodie, go up one. The size guide has the full chest-and-length chart, and new-season Eagles stock lands on the NFL new-season page.
Frequently asked questions
Did Jalen Hurts win Super Bowl MVP?
Yes. Hurts was named Super Bowl LIX MVP after the Eagles beat the Chiefs 40–22. He threw for 221 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 72 yards and a third.
How many Super Bowls have the Eagles won?
Two. Super Bowl LII in February 2018 against the New England Patriots, and Super Bowl LIX in February 2025 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
What is the difference between the Legend and Legacy Eagles jerseys?
The Legend Player Performance build ($74.99 on the Hurts and Barkley shirts) is lighter and closer through the chest, designed to be worn on its own. The Legacy Replica build ($79.99 on the Kelce, Dawkins and McNabb shirts) uses the traditional roomy, boxy replica cut made to layer.
Should I size up on an NFL jersey?
Only if you want extra room. NFL replicas are already the roomiest cut outside hockey. Order your true chest size for the standard look; go up one size if you intend to wear a hoodie underneath.
Are youth and women's Eagles jerseys available in the same names?
Many are. The Philadelphia collection includes women's, youth, toddler and Big & Tall versions of the most-requested players, including Reggie White, Brian Dawkins and Jalen Hurts.
