Trey Burton's "Philly Special" ESPYs jacket is the second greatest green jacket on earth

We're not even Eagles fans, and we still want one of these hanging in our closet just in case. The evening wasn't short on style statements—Donovan Mitchell dressed up like Spider-Man at a job interview and JaVale McGee rocked a fanny pack that costs more than your rent—but it was Burton's subtle Super Bowl homage that spoke the loudest.
