It's a town with a strong patriotic history, but as Super Bowl LII approaches, there's no doubt that Bordentown is a green city.
Eagles green.
The welcome signs coming into Bordentown, which happen to be green already, are now adorned with Philadelphia Eagles paraphernalia - a pennant, a football, a water bottle.
City Hall is decorated in a like manner, as is the public works garage. Even the town's water tower has a greenish hue.
The best signs in N.J. supporting the Super Bowl-bound Eagles
But the most conspicuous show of support is that the clock faces on the clock tower of Old City Hall now glow green at night.
According to Mayor Jim Lynch, the idea for that started a couple of years ago when the clock faces were turned green for St. Partick's Day. After that, it was red for Valentine's Day.
Then, when the Eagles earned a spot in the Super Bowl, it seemed like a natural thing to go green again.
Bordentown's government is nonpartisan and perhaps it is that patriotic spirit that prompted Lynch to declare: "I have some Giants fans in my family. If they were in the Super Bowl we would go blue. We're very fair in how we support our teams."
Lynch added, "Everything doesn't have to be negative in government. We're just trying to have a little fun with it and we've been getting a lot of good feedback."
