Just arrived on our store: New soft enamel pins featuring the #Mastodon logo. This time, they have a copper finish. However! I have to warn you there will be another enamel pin design up on the store this week, so if there's any chance you might want an alternative design or both, you may want to hold off on making orders for now to save on shipping.

The defending Super Bowl champs are still leading the NFC East with an 8-5 record, but anyone who has watched this team closely will be forced to admit that the eternally pessimistic Eagles fans have a point this time—something is clearly not right here.
The Eagles lost their third straight game on Monday night, dropping a 22–19 overtime snoozer to the Chargers. Pretty much everyone who participated in this game came out of it embarrassed, but none more so than Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, who this morning finds himself the personification of everything that has felt lacking about this Eagles' season.
