We made it down to the 1-yard line with Fanatics, the official NFL licensee and behemoth
manufacturer of fan gear and apparel for the Super Bowl. They set up a phone call for the
day after the Sunday Conference Championships to discuss tackling our concept for an Eagles Super Bowl poster. And the Eagles won! They're in the Super Bowl! Our phone call next day came
off the snap hard, "We love your graphic with the Bengals' helmet and the striking simplicity with no words. Let me see what I can make
happen while you change to a Chiefs' helmet and refine your design" By Thursday, we were half
a yard away from scoring when the flag was thrown. Too many approval levels. Too many tacklers.
Time ran out. So, we called a Philly Special and took over on offense. Our 20" x 30", limited edition,
numbered, collectable poster -- with not a word on it -- cleverly circumvented the NFL's labyrinth of copyright rules. It had Eagles fans lined up to celebrate the teams'
historic flight to the heights of the NFL football world. Eagles may have lost this time, but birds soar in 2024. Poster will be ready!
