Daily News | Unpacking ‘It’s a Philly thing’ | Morning Newsletter
Inquirer reporter Stephanie Farr initially found “It’s a Philly thing” as generic, and she has a point. Other cities have used it and it’s not a new phrase.But the widespread use started after a mid-December news conference, when quarterback Jalen Hurts said of Philly fans: “They’re with us, you know what I’m saying. When we’re on the field, when we travel, they’re with us. So, it’s a Philly thing.
In January, the Eagles produced a hype video around the phase and Hurts wore it on a sweatshirt at a news conference. Through interviews and polls, Farr came around to the phrase as more of a reply to out-of-town friends and relatives rather than a rallying cry.
