Perhaps the defining play of the Philadelphia Eagles’ dramatic Super Bowl win was the “Philly Special.” That audacious trick play, which Doug Pederson called on fourth down at the Patriots’ one-yard line and saw tight end Trey Burton throw a touchdown pass to quarterback and eventual Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles, will be forever ingrained in the hearts and minds of Eagles fans everywhere.

It will also be forever imprinted on an Eagles fan’s body after he decided to tattoo the diagram of the famous play on his forearm to commemorate the team’s amazing Super Bowl victory.

As far as tattoos to commemorate sports championships go, a diagram of a cool play looks pretty cool. It gives off a sort of abstract art vibe for anyone who’s uninitiated with what a football play actually looks like when drawn up.

And of course, it’s also a nice conversation piece at social gatherings with people likely wondering what the tattoo represents. If those people happen to be Eagles fans, then all the better. They can relive that glorious play all over again.

With all due respect to Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles’ face, but the diagram of his special play somehow looks better as a tattoo than his actual mug, even if he is holding the Lombardi Trophy. It’s the type of tattoo that should age a lot more gracefully through the years than a player’s portrait.

Much like Foles calling the “Philly Special” himself, it was a gutsy call by the fan, but it paid off in the end.
