Fake Kamala Ad Shows The Philadelphia Eagles Endorsing Her, Team Throws A Flag [VIDEOS]

The Philadelphia Eagles are actively working to address the spread of counterfeit political advertisements featuring Kamala Harris that falsely suggest the team’s endorsement for her 2024 presidential campaign.

The misleading ads, which surfaced on social media and at several bus stops in Philadelphia, depicted Harris donned in an Eagles helmet, further complicating the narrative by linking to the Eagles’ official website for voting information.

These images first came to light on Monday and were found in prominent locations, including a bus stop at 34th and Walnut on the University of Pennsylvania’s campus, as well as the intersections of 16th Street and Spring Garden Street, and 18th Street and JFK Boulevard.

I can’t imagine this was authorized by @Eagles. However the fact that it is in an enclosed case at a @SEPTA bus stop raises all kinds of flags and eyebrows.#NFL#PhiladelphiaEagles #Eagles pic.twitter.com/6wwlwkQgpM

The bogus posters bore the slogan “Kamala. Official candidate of the Philadelphia Eagles,” an assertion the team quickly refuted.

The Eagles swiftly responded with a statement across social media platforms, clarifying that the animated poster was not an official release from the organization and confirming their commitment to removing the ads. “We are aware counterfeit political ads are being circulated and are working with our advertising partner to have them removed,” the team stated, emphasizing the unauthorized use of their brand in political messaging.

According to reports from CBS News, the posters are the work of graphic artist Winston Tseng, known for his satirical approach to societal issues through the lens of brand and advertising mimicry.

Tseng’s previous creations have similarly employed well-known brands to make political and social commentary, including artwork featuring Ben & Jerry’s ice cream labeled with slogans like “Rocky Road to Democracy” and a Microsoft-themed piece proclaiming “Goodbye Inefficient Humans!” accompanied by imagery suggestive of AI themes.

In a 2023 interview with Street Art News, Tseng discussed his method of using recognizable commercial imagery to highlight societal concerns, aiming to integrate these provocative messages into the everyday visual landscape to stimulate public thought and discourse.

The incident has sparked discussions on the use of corporate branding in political expressions and the potential implications for misinformation during election cycles.

The Philadelphia Eagles’ quick disassociation from the ads underlines the challenges organizations face when their trademarks are used without permission, particularly in highly charged political contexts.
