'Philly Special Christmas' Merchandise To Benefit CHOP, CCTC

Grab a t-shirt, hoodie, and other merch featuring "The Philly Specials" to help support the Children's Crisis Treatment Center and CHOP.

PHILADELPHIA — You've heard their songs, now you can wear their shirts. The Philly Specials (Jason Kelce, Lane Johnson, and Jordan Mailata) are now featured on a limited run of merchandise from which proceeds will benefit Children’s Crisis Treatment Center (CCTC) and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP).

The trio of Eagles linemen are ready to release their second holiday benefit album, which also benefits CCTC and CHOP. But before that, apparel brand HOMAGE has teamed up with the players-turned-singers for a limited-edition collection of hoodies, crewneck sweatshirts, and tees to support "A Philly Special Christmas Special."

The limited-edition apparel collection features the trio of players animated in the famous style of Charles Schulz’ "Peanuts" characters crooning beneath a Christmas Tree.

"The holidays are an important time in Philadelphia filled with joy, love, tradition, family and friendship," Kelce said. "While we gather together to celebrate, we also like to look further into our community to see where else we can be of service. This year, in addition to proceeds from the vinyl sales going to support the efforts of Children's Crisis Treatment Center and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, we wanted to expand the ways we can uplift our city and decided to make a limited edition line of apparel including sweatshirts and t-shirts with our unique design."
