Major changes are coming for the Philadelphia Eagles. And it's not just because they will be unveiling a new championship banner next season.
The organization has "let go" of the trademark pep band that had been at Eagle games and corporate gatherings over the last 28 years. Team sources confirmed the news Wednesday as the organization tries to "evolve" their on-field entertainment.
Philadelphia's pep band had been around for close to three decades and would get the fans going on the trademark "Fly Eagles Fly" fight song that has become a staple in Eagles history. The group performed at Lincoln Financial Field when it opened in 2003 and at Veterans Stadium before that.
"The team thanked the Pep Band for their years of service with the organization," CBS News reported. "The Eagles didn't provide any specifics in their plans for on-field entertainment heading into the 2025 season."
This is not the first time in recent seasons the Eagles have changed their look at the Linc. Three years ago, the team unveiled a new word logo which did away with the bird-centric logo of the past.

The organization also has limited days and times where their practices have been open to the public during training camp. Originally, Philadelphia fans could go see practices at the Novacare Complex or Lincoln Financial Field, but that has changed to just one practice a year.
The next step in that change is to do away with the Pep Band.
And now a new entertainment celebration will need to be placed going into their championship defense.
