The Eagles' dog mania has reached the official NFL shop and the league's official shop is putting its proceeds toward a good cause.
With a little nudge from Eagles defensive end Chris Long and right tackle Lane Johnson, the NFL will donate 100 percent of its proceeds from their underdog T-shirts to fund Philadelphia School District, according to CBS3's Joe Holden.
"The bottom line is the NFL Shop will also donate 100 percent of the proceeds from this shirt to fund Philadelphia schools," the NFL told CBS3.
On Monday, the NFL Shop tagged Long in its tweet announcing a new item - an Eagles underdog T-shirt.
Hey @JOEL9ONE, we think this shirt will go really well with your mask 😉
And if other @Eagles fans want this 🐶 shirt you can get it here https://t.co/pap41Zwlfj pic.twitter.com/E6EyKwPk2K— Official NFL Shop (@OfficialNFLShop) January 22, 2018
