Flyers_jersey_city_hall_roof
Anybody? Bueller? 

Please tell me they’re not putting it on William Penn. Please

Reader Matt Hutelmyer sent us this photo earlier this afternoon of what is very clearly a giant Flyers jersey atop a lower-level roof of City Hall. 

Now, the obvious assumption would be that the city does, in fact, plan to play dress up with Billy Penn again… and we all know how that went when tried before (Phillies lost World Series in 1993, Flyers got swept in 1997). But from this angle, the sweater appears to be the old-style orange jersey, not the newer one or the Winter Classic version. You’d think that if the plan was to give ‘Ol Billy some apparel, the city would have used a modern jersey… Or maybe not. 

HBO has been known to be a bit creative with their cameras, so perhaps this has something to do with 24/7

Either way, it obviously has something to do with the Winter Classic. But just know that if it goes on Mr. Penn, the Flyers are going to lose the game. 

Anyone have any ideas?

Apparently, Matt's not the only one who saw this. A reader of CSN's 700 Level noticed the same thing, which leads me to believe it hasn't been lying around for too long.
