Philadelphia Phillies 2008 World Series Champions - Lettering and design by Nick Keppol

Hand drawn lettering, scanned and traced in illustrator. The “2008″ is SignPainter by House Industries.

I am a Philadelphia Sports fan which at times can be rough, but tonight we all breath a sign of relief and celebrate a championship. The Phillies beat the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 5 tonight, winning the world series four games to one. This is their’ second World Series win, the first being the 1980 win over Kansas City.

The philly curse is finally lifted! Before tonight the last championship was won by the Sixers in 1983. No team has won since the 1987 construction of Liberty One, built taller than the William Penn statue at City Hall which broke the friendly agreement. When the Comcast Building was built in 2008 a small statue of william penn was placed at the highest point just to be safe.
