“We’re brimming with Philadelphia pride. Our celebrated city bubbles with cheesesteak grease, melting water ice, and the fallen salt of gristly soft pretzels. We’re stuffed with a rich history that plumps our streets with the dignity of our revolutionary ancestors. We’ve got so much tickling the tips of our fingers; we don’t need to fondle our dear northerly neighbor, New York City.

We’re fine with proclamations that you heart’ NY. We even enjoy occasional strolls through the LES and Carroll Gardens. However, when it comes time to cozy up in the familiarity of home, we always lay our sleepy skeletons to bed in the City of Brotherly Love.

To ooze with brazen Philadelphia self-respect, [ 2 one 5 ] struts out our “Not NY” t-shirt and fitted hat with the cheeriness of a Mummer’s Brigade. Inspired by our surrounding, these items boast the same thick hide that’s weathered Charles Barkley, Live Aid, and John Street. We are a socially alert, musically talented, and culturally pulsing creature. We are Philadelphia. We are Proud “.
