Daily News | A Delco designer is recreating Jason Kelce’s Mummers hat for hopeful Eagles fans and charity
May, who also spent the last 50 years making Mummers costumes on the side at James May Costume Co. shop in Ridley Township, is crafting some 300 “fan hats” that resemble the gold and green Mummers headpiece Eagles center Jason Kelce wore to the Broad Street parade after the Birds’ 2018 Super Bowl win.
The Delaware County designer knows the Mummers costume that Kelce wore to the Art Museum intimately — he made it for the Avalon String Band more than 15 years ago. May said he didn’t expect his design to “blow up” as Philadelphians rejoiced seeing a beloved athlete show love for a local custom.When he heard Kelce picked his design, May remembers being somewhat unfazed until fans started asking for copies.This time around the headgear is going for $75.
“Sure enough, I would get up in the morning and I’d say she’s really right, this looks really different,” said May. At his peak, May said he was making some 900 Mummers costumes a year for various string bands and brigades.
