Like anything Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly does, the Birds’ team photo caused a stir. The speed and efficiency with which the project was undertaken, much like his offense, was a masterpiece to behold. All clocking in under five minutes. A mere four minutes and 40 seconds, to be exact.

The photo wasn’t just the team itself, which is quite an undertaking. It was the players, the coaches, and the training staff. The final result was a group that looked the size of a small army, all covered in green and white.

Were there hiccups? There wasn’t time for many, but as Kelly recalls, one of the photographers had to take his role as an artist down a few notches.

“One of the guys thought he was Ansel Adams. Let’s get this thing taken and let’s go. You know what I mean? It’s not like it’s gonna be hanging in the Philadelphia Museum of Art or anything, it’s just gonna be in someone’s office somewhere, so let’s get it done.”

Not in the Philadelphia Museum of Art? Think again, Chip. The museum sent out a picture via Twitter on Wednesday of the team photo standing alongside a classic masterpiece, including the hashtag #FlyEaglesFly.
