The culprit is unknown.
Dressing the statues in the equipment of the opposing teams has become a tradition in recent years in front of the Big Eagles playoffs. Every time that happened, the eagles went with the victories.
2022. The statue was dressed in New York Giants Equipment in front of his match against eagles in a division circle. Orlovi beat that game 38-7. Next week, the statue was dressed in San Francisco 49ers equipment before Niners arrived in Philadelphia to play NFC Championship. Orlovi won that game, 31-7.

When Orlovi won in their first Super Bowl in the 2017 season, the statue was also dressed in the equipment of opposing teams.
On the eve of the NFC NFC Championship match between Eagles and Minnesote Vikings, the statue was drawn into the Vikings jersey, and the eagles beat 38-7. Before Super Bowla, someone put a new English patriots on the statue, and the Eagles beat Patriots 41-33 and asked for their first Super Bowla title.
Vandalism has become so common that Kansas City Chiefs narrow End Travis Kelce prayed with his own fans base not to dress the statue in any equipment chiefs ahead of the Super Bowla 2023. The bosses beat that game 38-35.
“Bosses, don’t touch F — Ing rocky memorial!” Kelce said during the episode of his Podcast in February 2023. “New Heights.”
“Don’t do it and definitely don’t put number 87 on it!”

Former Eagles Center Jason Kelce, who played against Travis and Chiefs in that game, theorized culprit was a fan of Eagles.
“I’ll be honest. I think someone from Philadelphia is doing it now,” Jason Kelce said.
“I think at this point it is not an opponent’s team. There’s no way that opposing teams continue to work. I am convinced that there is a fan of Philadelphia who puts these shirts on a rocky statue just for everyone to fire, and it seems scary.
“So keep doing it. I guarantee it. No way. Because it happened every single game. Giants did it. 49ers did it. He’ll be the Chiefs jersey on it this week.”
Now Washington is up and it will look to break the trend.
It will be the first time that the rivals have met in the conference championship game and marks the highlight of the rivalry that has been dormant in recent decades for the incompetence of Washington to win the playoffs since the 1990s.
The 2024 season was the first since 2005 that Washington won the playoff match, and the first since 1991 when the franchise reached the conference championship.
