It’s not always sunny in Philadelphia for Rob McElhenney — he lost out in a bidding war for the coveted, limited edition autographed Eagles letterman jacket!
The kelly green varsity jacket, which has regal connections, was sold for $100,000 last Friday in an auction benefiting the NFL team’s Autism Foundation, according to the Philly Voice. The winner, whose name was not revealed, outbid the 46-year-old actor by more than $30,000. McElhenney initially bid $10,050 on the iconic outerwear, which was signed (and modeled) by Eagles center Jason Kelce’s wife, Kylie.
McElhenney, 46, shared a video of Jason and Travis discussing the bids for the jacket on their podcast, noting that the actor had placed the highest bid at one point at $10,050. However, Jason noted that the bid was updated to $20,000. The It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia star tweeted at the brothers above the clip, “You better hit refresh @JasonKelce and @tkelce :).”
Jason then responded on X, “Dude I’m trying, I think you crashed the site!!,” alongside a GIF with the words “What’d you do??” The Wrexham FC co-owner eventually upped his bid to $62,000 to honor Jason’s jersey number, 62, before losing out on the item. The throwback piece, which retails for $400 and is made by Philly-based sports clothing company Mitchell & Ness, features gray and white accents with the team’s old-school logo and mascot on the back. The jacket once also had the approval of another famous face — Princess Diana.
