Champion Eagles want to trademark "Philly Special"

The Philadelphia Eagles want the right to exclusively own the "Philly Special."

The team filed to trademark the phrase on Feb 15, mostly for use on apparel. The filing recently showed up on the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office website.

The Eagles aren't the first in line for the phrase. They're actually the eighth group to file for it. People in Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Florida, as well as Pennsylvania-based beer brand Yuengling, filed for rights to own the phrase referring to the now famous Super Bowl LII trick play.
