Jason Kelce, the renowned figure, has become the center of attention as a fan lookalike contest was held in his honor. On that Saturday, December 14th, the streets of Philadelphia's Rittenhouse Square Park were filled with bearded men, all vying for the title of the ultimate Jason doppelgänger and the chance to claim a cash prize. Some contestants managed to capture the physical traits of the retired Eagles player remarkably well, while others fell short.

Contest Host and Promotion

The contest was masterminded by Instagram user @lexaprotaganist. On December 13th, they posted an advertisement, expressing gratitude to @crossingbroad and @phillyinquirer for their early support. They also thanked @claireegill and @noahwoodtheman from @campcrushcomedy for bridging the digital and physical worlds. Additionally, a shoutout was given to @birdgangspirits Philadelphia for providing goodies to give away. This event truly had the spirit of Philadelphia behind it.

Contest Details and Requirements

The flyer for the event proudly stated that it was "Bird Gang approved," a nod to an Eagles fan group. It encouraged attendees to don green, adding to the festive atmosphere. Just days before the contest, Jason's wife, Kylie Kelce, discussed it on the second episode of her new podcast, Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce. She shared some fashion tips, suggesting a heavy sweater with some design and velour tracksuits sporting the Italian flag. Many contestants took her advice and showed up in stylish outfits.

Contestant Outfits and Choices

The official Instagram for the Philadelphia Convention & Visitors Bureau shared a clip from the event, showcasing a variety of contenders. They were dressed in tracksuits, Eagles hats, and even the retired athlete's signature flip-flops. Jason's Mummers outfit from the Eagles' 2018 Super Bowl victory parade was a popular choice among the participants. The range of outfits demonstrated the creativity and dedication of the contestants.

Contest Outcome and Jason's Reaction

In the end, a contestant carrying a case of Garage Beer, a brand co-owned by Jason, was declared the winner in a video posted by Crossing Broad. While Jason, 37, has not yet commented on the outcome, some X users noticed that he changed his profile picture on the platform to that of one of the contestants seen at the lookalike contest. This added an interesting twist to the event and left fans speculating about his thoughts.
