The Eagles aren't the only thing synonymous with Philadelphia. Among many more, there's the Declaration of Independence, cheesesteaks and, of course, Rocky Balboa.
But fans of the San Francisco 49ers don't seem to cherish civic heroes, even if they are fictitious. Ahead of Sunday's NFC title game against the Eagles, a cut-up, bright red 49ers shirt was seen on the iconic Rocky Balboa statue that sits at the bottom of the steps in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

The nearly 9-foot-tall statue was commissioned in 1980 by Sylvester Stallone, who has played Rocky in nine films. The statue was a prop in "Rocky III," which was released in 1982. When production on the movie was finished, Stallone donated the statue to the city.
