On March 4, Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce announced his retirement after 13 seasons in the NFL. Now, he has been immortalized with a mural on the side of a local Dunkin’ store.
A Dunkin’ restaurant located in Havertown, Pa.—roughly 9 miles west of Philadelphia— honored the elder Kelce brother with a mural in his likeness. The work of art, created by Glassblack’s Jimmy McMenamin, reads, “THANK YOU JASON!” along with a portrait of the 36-year-old and “KELCE” in large block lettering.
Meanwhile, the backdrop features the Eagles’ midnight green and silver mixed with elements of coffee, frosting and sprinkles for good measure. The words “Champions, “Underdogs,” Hungry,” “Super Bowl,” and “Philadelphia” are also subtly incorporated into the piece.

In addition to unveiling the Kelce-inspired mural on May 13, Dunkin’ presented a check for $13,000 to his charity, the (Be)Philly Foundation.
The donation supported the non-profit organization’s “mission to provide financial support and increased visibility to evidenced-based organizations that work to improve the mental, physical, and environmental health and well-being of Philadelphia Public School students,” according to a news release.
Attending the check presentation on Monday were Philadelphia Eagles mascot, SWOOP, Philadelphia Eagles Cheerleaders, Dunkin’s mascot, Cuppy, among others.

For those in the area and interested in checking the art display, the mural is located at the Dunkin’ at located at 901 West Chester Pike in Havertown, Pa.
We can’t wait to hear Jason and his younger brother Travis Kelce‘s responses to the work of art!
