Super Bowl LLI Champion Philadelphia Eagles and Axalta unveiled the “Bringing It Home” mural to the City of Philadelphia and to Eagles fans throughout the region.
Located prominently on the Sansom Street side of the Hale Building, the mural commemorates the Philadelphia Eagles championship season. The Eagles begin their title defense by hosting the Atlanta Falcons at Lincoln Financial Field on Thursday, Sept. 6 to kick off the 2018 NFL season.
Meg Saligman, a contemporary muralist and Eagles fan, created the 2,500-square-foot mural in a way that captures the unique characteristics of an antique sign. The mural features the image of a giant eagle soaring towards City Hall carrying a Philadelphia Eagles flag and the Lombardi Trophy in its talons. The title “World Champions,” date of the game (Feb. 4, 2018) and score (41-33) accompany the image. The mural will be permanently displayed on the Hale Building, soaring high above Broad Street.
“We are humbled to have our World Championship season commemorated in this way and are thankful to the Hale Building for providing the canvas to Axalta, as well as Meg Saligman for fully supporting this project,” Philadelphia Eagles President Don Smolenski said. “Eagles fans that walk down Juniper and Sansom Streets will always be reminded of that incredible moment in Eagles history.”
Visitors in the area had the opportunity to watch the mural’s finishing touches on Wednesday, Sept. 5 from 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. and on Thursday, Sept. 6 from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Axalta donated all the paint for the project, including a personalized paint scheme specifically created to match the Eagles green tone.
“Axalta is proud to partner with the Philadelphia Eagles to celebrate their World Championship season,” said Joe McDougall, Axalta’s EVP and president, Global Refinish. “We are excited that our paint can be part of a mural that the great City of Philadelphia can be proud of and enjoy for many years to come.
“Fly Eagles Fly!”
