Jason Kelce Lookalike Contest in Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA – Jason Kelce is the latest celebrity whose fans are flocking to a lookalike competition in hopes of displaying strikingly similar physical attributes to the former Philadelphia Eagles star center.

The fan-organized event took place Saturday in Philadelphia’s Rittenhouse Square, where dozens of men wore everything from full Eagles gear to velor tracksuits, jumpsuits, sweatpants and flip-flops, some of them even shirtless.

Like Kelce, each participant sported a full, thick brunette beard.

The “Kelce-verse,” as some called the gathering of doppelgangers, took social media by storm, and even Kelce’s wife Kylie got in on the action.

“I can’t wait to see who wins,” she said on her new podcast, “Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce.” She also asked participants to take a page from her husband’s fashion book and suggest outfits that included sweaters and tracksuits with an Italian flag.

After much beer can-smashing, T-shirt ripping, “Fly Eagles Fly” chants and attempts to learn the best offensive lineman positions, a selection of three finalists were chosen by the audience.

The winning lookalike ended up being a man with a similar build to Kelce, who wore a maroon Phillies hoodie, jeans and a green Eagles cap to the event while holding a case of Kelce’s co-owner Garage Beer.

Although Kelce wasn’t in attendance, the former All-Pro NFL center turned ESPN analyst joined in the fun after the event, changing his profile photo to X to one of the finalists.
