To paraphrase the patriotic Muppet: “This (merchandise) is dedicated to truth, justice, and the American way!”
Sam Eagle Semiquincentennial Souvenirs
Two new Sam Eagle items have arrived at Disneyland Resort, featuring patriotic designs inspired by the no-nonsense Muppet’s distinctly American persona.
Sam Eagle Semiquincentennial Sweatshirt – $54.99
The first item is a dark navy crewneck sweatshirt featuring Sam Eagle on the front in a parody of the iconic Great Seal of the United States. In place of an olive branch and a bundle of arrows, Sam appears to be equipped with a spatula and a fork.
The design centers on Sam with his wings spread outward, standing in front of a red diamond-shaped background surrounded by light blue streaks.
Above Sam is the phrase “Estd. 1776” in red, with five small stars positioned overhead. Curved text around the top of the central graphic reads “Semiquincentennial,” while the lower banner reads “United States of America.” Sam’s name appears in red beneath the design.
The reverse side of the shirt is left blank with the base navy color. The sleeves include typical crewneck ribbed cuffs and a ribbed waistband.
Sam Eagle “Distinctly Patriotic” Felt Pennant – $14.99
The second item is a red felt pennant with a vintage-style patriotic design. A blue illustration of Sam Eagle appears inside a circular emblem toward the wide end of the pennant, looking upward and striking a prideful pose.
Large distressed white lettering reads “Patriotic,” with the word “Distinctly” above it in script. Along the left edge, vertical lettering reads “United States of America.”
The reverse side is left blank. The design appears to be printed with a deliberately worn texture, giving it a retro feel.
Sam Eagle has long been one of The Muppets’ most patriotic characters, and these new items lean heavily into that identity with bold red, white, and blue styling.
Naturally, the popular Muppets character is taking on the spotlight in recent weeks as Disney ramps up new merchandise offerings to coincide with the 250th anniversary of the founding of the USA. At Disneyland. This includes an impressively patriotic Sam Eagle popcorn bucket along with a variety of American-proud treats.
We found both of these items at Storyland Boutique.
