NBC10’s Fred Shropshire catches up with celebrity skateboarder, fashion designer and Philadelphia Eagles fan Jimmy Gorecki to talk about his new JSP fashion line that brings his designs to throwback kelly green.
The highly-anticipated return of Eagles kelly green comes Sunday night against the Dolphins.
And while the Birds look sharp in the throwback jerseys, fans can now sports kelly green with a modern twist thanks to a new clothing line by a Montgomery County-born designer known for his sweatsuits.
The Eagles teamed up with Norristown, Pennsylvania, native Jimmy Gorecki -- the founder of JSP and co-founder of Standard Issue Tees -- for an exclusive line featuring hats, shirts and sweatsuits, of course.
“I’ve shed tears three separate times in my life for the Eagles,” Gorecki - a celebrity skateboarder and Temple alum, said. “Advancing to the Super Bowl in 2004, winning it all in 2017, and the day when my dream of merging the worlds of JSP and the Eagles became a reality. From that day forward, I dug deep and committed myself to designing a special collection that Eagles fans of all ages could rock with."

Among Gorecki's JSP designs for the Eagles are items featuring "different shades of green that represent fans across every era of Eagles football," according to an Eagles' news release.
The designer was inspired by his own family's tradition.
"It was my late, great grandfather who instilled in me a love for this franchise," Gorecki said "With this collection, I hope fans will see the passion I have for this team through my artistic vision and creativity.”
