The city bled green on Thursday, when millions flooded to the street for the Eagles' victory parade.

From freshly dyed hair to temporary face tattoos to full-out green onesies, Eagles' enthusiasm shined bright from head to toe across the crowd. Below, find more than 20 of the most spirited fans we encountered while wandering near the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the grand finale of the parade route.

"The robe has been with me for over 30 years. I travel to go see the Eagles, and it always goes with me. What's better than hanging out in a bath robe?" – Alex Rendon, Franklin Mills

"I love the Power Rangers and the Eagles are great, too, so what better excuse to wear this." – Troy Krichmar, Northern Liberties

"The jacket was 50 cents at a thrift store. It's lasted me well for every St. Patrick's Day and now for every Eagles parade to come." – Eugine Lee, Washington DC
