PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Rita's Italian Ice has a brand new flavor, and it tastes like victory.
To celebrate the start of football season, Rita's is launching a limited edition summer flavor for the Eagles, fittingly called "Go Birds!"

New Go Birds midnight green flavor at @RitasItalianIce beginning on Monday. When asked to sample it, I felt it was my journalistic duty to investigate.#EaglesCamp pic.twitter.com/jNG1cTswKa

Described as "the coolest treat for the greatest fans," the dark, bluish-green ice has hints of apple and pear.

The Birds-themed flavor will be available at participating Rita's locations for a limited time, starting on Monday.

The Eagles will take on the Titans in the first preseason game of the year on Aug. 8 at the Linc.
