Eagles fans rush to buy NFC Champions gear after team earns Super Bowl berth

The Eagles are heading back to the Super Bowl for the second time in the last three years, and fans can't wait to show off the NFC Championship win.

Dick's House of Sports in New Castle County opened its doors early on Monday for fans eager to get their hands on official NFC Championship merchandise. 

T-shirts, hoodies, hats, jerseys with the Super Bowl LIX patch, and more will soon be flying off store shelves and arriving at doorsteps across the Delaware Valley. 

What we know:

FOX 29's Greg Payne was at Dick's House of Sport in New Castle County where they opened at 7 a.m. for fans who couldn't wait to get their gear shipped.

"You name it, we got it, and we're ready to serve you happily," store manager Jess told FOX 29's Greg Payne. 

The Eagles official store is offering free shipping on Eagles NFC Championship gear, and they promise to have it delivered by Super Bowl Sunday. 

The backstory:

The Eagles blew out the Washington Commanders 55-23 on Sunday to punch their ticket to Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans. 

Quarterback Jalen Hurts tallied four touchdowns, including three rushing, and Saquon Barkley kept his MVP-caliber season rolling with a touchdown on 118 yards.

"I ain’t gonna lie — I tried to downplay it in my head, but it’s just amazing, man. It’s amazing. We’re here. The Super Bowl," Barkley said. 

"But the goal wasn’t just getting there. The goal is to win. And we’re going to celebrate and enjoy this and get right back to work."

The 55 points are the most any team has scored in a conference championship game since the 1970 merger.

What's next:

The Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs will meet in the Super Bowl for the second time in the last three years on Feb. 9. 

The Chiefs bested the Buffalo Bills to earn their shot at a third straight Super Bowl victory.
