Philadelphia Eagles Primary Logo

The name Philadelphia Eagles come from the Blue Eagle symbol which was used as the logo of the New Deal Stimulus Program introduced during the 1930s Great Depression. The same Blue Eagle of the New Deal Stimulus Program stands as the Philadelphia Eagles logo as well. For most of the franchise’s history, the logo has been a green eagle clutching a football in its talons. The eagle is a symbol of the team’s lofty spirit and ingenuity.
