The Philadelphia Eagles recently released a hype video for their season-opening game against the Green Bay Packers in Brazil. As reported by FOX 29, this game is a historic first for the NFL in the country. The Eagles have embraced the international spotlight by incorporating Brazilian culture into their promotion, featuring local music and Brazil's vibrant yellow and green flag.
"YO! Eagles football is back," reads a post from the team, featuring the signature Philly catchphrase which echoes prominently through their nearly two-minute hype video. The Philly faithful are familiar with the rallying cry that has been an integral part of the Eagles’ culture. According to NBC Philadelphia, it even has retired legends like Jason Kelce and Fletcher Cox chipping in to ignite the fan base’s excitement.
Fans may feel bittersweet nostalgia seeing recently retired icons like Kelce star in the video. Even comedian Shane Gillis, a Philadelphia native, appears, adding a touch of local humor to the mix. The video, available on the Eagles' Instagram and YouTube pages, ends on a high note with Kylie Kelce's endearing "yo" that might become a signature call for this season.
With a lineup featuring Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, and A.J. Brown, among others, the video, according to FOX 43, also includes guest spots from voices of the team like Mike Quick and Merrill Reese, General Manager Howie Roseman, and culturally, a peek, behind the Eagles' proverbial curtain with chief of security "Big Dom" DiSandro featured as well. The Eagles aim to redeem themselves from last season's letdown, where they failed expectations by losing five of their previous six games, followed by a Wild Card defeat to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
