Eagles Tackle Jane Lohnson and Defensive End Chris Long have been seen wearing German shepherd masks following every win this season. Johnson was even seen wearing one following the Eagles’ divisional round win over the Falcons in the locker room.
With the popularity of these masks, costume stores in Philadelphia are hurrying to get these in stock in time for the NFC Championship Game, per TMZ Sports. A popular store called Masquerade received 20 calls about the masks and are doing everything possible to get them in stock for the big game. D&J Costumes & Entertainment said the German shephard masks are all gone so their backup plan is to get masks of other dog breeds.
It seems that a new tradition in Philadelphia is rising with these masks and it could end up being a good luck charm in the Eagles’ road to a Super Bowl win.
