The Princess Di Eagles jacket is iconic here in Philly! The Kelly Green era is having a moment here in general, so M&N picked the right time for this particular throwback. It's more of a Philly retro hipster thing, as I see it, than a we live Diana thing.
- dfxm12 3y agoMitchell & Ness launched a lot of retro kelly green gear, most of it a lot cheaper too, but the reason this specific jacket got a much bigger reaction and turnout to the stores is Diana. You can't decouple Princess Di from the kelly green or from retro 90s pop culture, whether you're a hipster who first saw the picture at Middle Child Clubhouse & just liked the vibes or if you were just paying attention to the news at the time. Any time you see the Philly media (social, traditional, even sports talk radio) talk about kelly green, they bring up Diana. It's as reflexive as the Philly Special, pickle juice, 4 & 26, etc. Scroll your socials back to the weekend of the Dolphins game or back to July when the jerseys were announced, and if the algorithms think you're a Philly sports fan, you'll see posts with the People photos & news articles about them (both new and contemporary).
