In a city where loyalty runs as deep as the Delaware, Bird Gang Spirits and the Eagles have come together to craft a spirited homage to Philadelphia’s passion, pride, and creative soul. This season, fans can raise a glass to more than just touchdowns and tackles—Bird Gang Spirits has launched its limited-edition “Artist Series,” showcasing original label artwork by three of Philly’s most beloved visual storytellers: Heavyslime, Jordan Spector, and Paul Carpenter.
This hometown collaboration marks the latest evolution of Bird Gang Spirits, a brand born in 2023 out of a unique partnership between the Philadelphia Eagles and BOTLD—the commonwealth’s go-to for distinctive, limited-run spirits. Designed to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Eagles’ 1965 World Championship, the Artist Series is both a collector’s item and a heartfelt celebration of Philadelphia’s creative grit. The spirit lineup includes four standout expressions: Silver Tequila and Habanero Tequila designed by Heavyslime, Straight Bourbon Whiskey designed by Jordan Spector, and Vodka designed by Paul Carpenter.
Bird Gang Spirits and the Eagles: Meet the Artists Behind the Bottles
Each bottle in the Bird Gang Spirits and the Eagles Artist Series is a canvas of fandom and cultural memory. Known for his dark, punk-inspired design work, Heavyslime delivers bold, high-octane visuals for the Silver and Habanero Tequilas, evoking the raw energy of game day and city streets alike. Meanwhile, Jordan Spector, whose sports portraiture pulses with intensity and reverence, brings an emotional edge to the Straight Bourbon Whiskey—his tribute to the Eagles is equal parts passion and precision.
Paul Carpenter, the layered visionary behind the Vodka label, channels Philadelphia’s iconography with brushstrokes of nostalgia and neighborhood pride. “As a diehard Eagles fan and Philly artist, having the opportunity to collaborate with Bird Gang Spirits on their new Artist Series is an absolute dream,” said Carpenter. “My work celebrates the cultural fabric and richness of our city through the detailed layering of Philadelphia’s most celebrated iconography and truly is Philly art for Philly people, and I feel grateful to be able to produce meaningful artwork for our city, our team, and our passionate fan base alongside Bird Gang Spirits.”
Spector echoes the sentiment: “Being part of the Bird Gang Spirits Artist Series is special to me because it’s more than just artwork, it’s about representing Philly, our culture, and our love for the Eagles. As a lifelong fan and artist from this city, I take pride in creating pieces that embody the same passion and energy that defines Philadelphia. As someone who also has a deep love for bourbon and a good Old Fashioned, this collaboration felt like the perfect blend of everything I’m passionate about.”
