Metropolitan Choppers and Diet Pepsi to Unveil a Custom-Designed Motorcycle Commemorating the 75th Anniversary of the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles A New Eagle Form Takes Flight with a 75th Anniversary Philadelphia Eagles Halftime Celebration WASHINGTON, Dec. 6 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --- Metropolitan Choppers has been selected by Diet Pepsi to have the distinct honor to conceive and design a custom-built Philadelphia Eagles motorcycle to be unveiled on December 30th as the Philadelphia Eagles play the Buffalo Bills. This bike commemorates the 75 years of the franchise and, as the season comes to a close; one lucky fan will be presented with the custom motorcycle - the grand prize in a Diet Pepsi consumer sweepstakes contest across the Mid-Atlantic region. "Our goal is to artistically convey the raw emotion and power of the players and their fans in celebration of the 75 years that they have supported one another," said 'Big' Dan Kessinger, the designer and chief creator of Metropolitan Choppers' custom builds. In collaboration with Diet Pepsi and the Philadelphia Eagles, Metropolitan Choppers was chosen from many custom-designers nationwide to conceptualize and create a motorcycle that embodies the Philadelphia Eagles franchise and fans. Richard Bloom, Field Marketing Manager for the Pepsi Bottling Group says, "This collaboration gives us the opportunity to give tribute to the Philadelphia Eagles and the 75 amazing years they have given to the fans of Philadelphia." "Over the past 75 years our fans have made this franchise what it is today. We appreciate our partners at Pepsi finding another way to say thank you," said Mark Donovan, Philadelphia Eagles Senior Vice President of Business Operations. In this context, Metropolitan Choppers has created a design that both the Philadelphia Eagles franchise and fans can be proud of. As Donald Trump once raved, "Metropolitan Choppers is truly the Rolls Royce of motorcycle builders." Metropolitan Choppers used this expertise to convey the vibrant personality of dedicated Philadelphia Eagles fans and players.
