Commemorating the 25th Anniversary of the Hard Rock Cafe Philadelphia, this pin features a vertical six-string guitar with red and white vertical stripes on the body of the guitar, a solid white neck, and royal blue headstock. Beneath the headstock is the number 25 in large glittery royal blue offset font. In the forefront of the pin is a majestic bald eagle with its wings spread wide open in flight. Its head is turned and its talons are open as if ready to capture its prey. Below the eagle is the classic Hard Rock Cafe logo in red font on a white background. The top banner of the logo reads "Anniversary" and the bottom banner has the city name of Philadelphia, both in gold capital letters. The year 2023 appears in gold font in the bottom right-hand corner of the guitar. The word TEAM appears in capital gold letters on the eagle's wing on the top left-hand side of the pin.
Opened on January 15, 1998, the Hard Rock Cafe Philadelphia located in the historic Reading terminal train station at the corner of 12th and Market Streets in Center City has been Rocking the City of Brotherly Love for 25 years. Additionally, many congratulations are in order for original Philly team members Anna and Stew on their 25th anniversary of employment at the Cafe. What an accomplishment!
