Eagles to debut a fresh, new uniform combination for matchup vs. Packers in Brazil

The Philadelphia Eagles will wear black helmets, white jerseys and black pants for the Week 1 matchup against Green Bay in São Paulo, Brazil

The Eagles will depart Wednesday morning for São Paulo, Brazil, where they’ll face the Green Bay Packers in an electric Friday night matchup.

Philadelphia is the home team, but they won’t be wearing green, choosing a fresh, new uniform combination they’ll wear for the first time. The Eagles have worn white jerseys and black pants before, but they’ve never included the all-black helmets with the look until now.

I will be watching to see what color combination the Packers will wear. Jeff Kerr of CBS Sports had previously reported that Corinthians has an informal ban on wearing green. The Eagles and Packers both have green jerseys, and Philadelphia has taken steps to conform to the uniform norms in Brazil.

Eagles rookie RB Will Shipley switches jersey number

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Will Shipley is switching uniform numbers ahead of the season opener vs. the Green Bay Packers

The Eagles have trimmed their roster from 90 players to a league-mandated 53 ahead of the season opener against the Packers.

With over 35 players getting released or waived, it opened up an opportunity for some players to switch uniform numbers.  After Zech McPhearson said goodbye to Philadelphia, talented rookie, and No. 22 overall pick, Quinyon Mitchell swooped in and snatched the No. 27.

Mitchell wasn’t alone, as former Clemson star running back Will Shipley switched from the No. 39 to No. 28.

Like Mitchell, Shipley’s new number became available after Philadelphia waived cornerback Josh Jobe and didn’t resign him to the practice squad.

C.J. Gardner-Johnson to honor the late Kobe Bryant with Eagles jersey number

Philadelphia Eagles safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson is a huge Kobe Bryant fan and will wear the No. 8 jersey to honor the legend.

C.J. Gardner-Johnson is back like he never left, agreeing to a three-year deal to rejoin the Philadelphia Eagles.

During his introductory press conference, Gardner-Johnson told the media that he’s getting into “Kobe Mode” and will wear the No. 8.

The talented and versatile safety says he’s the “best” young safety in the league, and he’s already bringing back that swagger that was severely missing from the Eagles’ defense in 2023.

Eagles to wear all-black uniforms for critical Christmas Day matchup vs. Giants

The Philadelphia Eagles are switching things up and going with their all-black uniforms for the Christmas day matchup against the New York Giants

The Eagles have lost three games in a row, and with the team returning to Lincoln Financial Field in need of some mojo, the all-black alternates uniforms are being pulled out.

Philadelphia’s top-rated social media team broke the news that a switch-up was needed.

Philadelphia hasn’t gone with the All-Black since the Week 18 matchup last January, in which Jalen Hurts returned to the lineup and secured his team’s No. 1 overall seed.

In that game, Hurts returned from a sprained right shoulder and threw for 229 yards in a 22-16 win over the New York Giants.

Jake Elliott was the real hero on the night, converting field goals of 32, 52, and 39 yards in the first half. Boston Scott ran for an 8-yard touchdown — 10 of his 17 career TDs are against the Giants — and the Eagles took a 16-0 lead into halftime.

Eagles’ linebacker Shaquille Leonard switches jersey number ahead of debut vs. Cowboys

After practicing in the No. 50, Shaquille Leonard has switched to jersey number 53 after Christian Elliss was waived and claimed by the Patriots

The Eagles have a former All-Pro linebacker on the roster, adding the versatile Shaquille Leonard to the roster after he chose Philadelphia over Dallas.

Leonard is preparing to take the field for his third practice with the team, and he’s switched jersey number.

After initially being assigned the No. 50, Leonard is switching to No. 53 after Christian Elliss was waived.

Leonard will likely start opposite Zach Cunningham, and the duo should help alleviate the lack of communication witnessed in the Eagles’ 42-19 loss to the 49ers.

New Eagles’ safety Kevin Byard chooses jersey number

Philadelphia #Eagles safey Kevin Byard to wear jersey No. 31 after being acquired in a trade with the Titans

The NFL is a rough business, and with Mario Goodrich no longer in Philadelphia, his jersey number is now up for grabs.

The Eagles have a new Pro Bowl safety on the roster, adding the versatile Kevin Byard Julio Jones to the roster after a trade that saw GM Howie Roseman send Terrell Edmunds and two late-round 2024 NFL draft picks to Tennessee.

Byard is preparing to take the field for his first practice in Philadelphia, and he’ll wear the No. 31 worn by Goodrich just two weeks ago, according to the team’s official website.

DeVonta Smith wants Eagles to make a permanent switch to Kelly Green uniforms

Star WR DeVonta Smith loves the throwback, alternate jerseys and wants the Philadelphia #Eagles to make a permanent switch to Kelly Green uniforms

Philadelphia has one of the top uniform combinations in the NFL, but if DeVonta Smith has his way, the Midnight Green home jersey will become an alternate or throwback.

The Eagles will wear their throwback, Kelly Green alternate uniforms for the first time this year on Sunday Night Football, and the fans are clamoring for the unveiling.

Philadelphia will wear the 80s favorite in Week 7 and Week 12 at home against the Buffalo Bills.

The 2010 season was the last time Philadelphia wore Kelly Green jerseys (and helmets). Shortly after, the NFL implemented a rule that teams could only have one color as a safety precaution.

Eagles land top spot in ranking of all 32 NFL teams’ throwback and alternate uniforms

Philadelphia #Eagles Kelly green jerseys land the top spot in a ranking of all 32 NFL teams’ throwback and alternate uniforms

The Eagles are breaking out the Kelly green throwback uniforms on Sunday for the first of two hugely anticipated unveilings this season.

The Kelly green look is synonymous with Philadelphia’s success in the 1980s and ’90s, with fans and experts clamoring for its return and many calling for it to be back permanently.

USA Today ranked the alternate or throwback jerseys for all 32 NFL teams, and Philadelphia’s new Kelly green throwbacks landed at No. 1 on the list.

1. Philadelphia Eagles
Sunday night, y’all – Kelly green (with silver pants and helmet wings) is finally back after Nike finally dialed in the color fabrication. The “midnight green” scheme that’s been synonymous with Jeffrey Lurie’s ownership is underappreciated, not to mention championship-certified. But Kelly should always be an option in Philly’s palette, and its 13-year absence has been far too lengthy. (And a nice unintended consequence? Using the Kelly helmets twice this season precludes the return of last year’s alternate black tops.)

The Buccaneers’ Creamsicle throwbacks landed at No. 2 on the list, followed by Seahawks (No. 3), Saints (No. 4) and Bengals (No. 5).

The Chiefs, Raiders and Bears were at the bottom of the list.

New Eagles’ WR Julio Jones chooses jersey number

Philadelphia #Eagles wide receiver Julio Jones to wear jersey No. 80 after signing to the teams practice squad ahead of Week 7 matchup vs. Dolphins

The Eagles have a new veteran receiver on the roster, adding future Hall of Fame pass catcher Julio Jones to the practice squad ahead of the Week 7 showdown against the Dolphins.

Jones is preparing to take the field for his first practice in Philadelphia, and he’ll wear the No. 80, according to the team’s official website.

Philadelphia can use a veteran presence at the wide receiver position, and Jones is certified, having logged 903 receptions for 13,629 yards and 81 touchdowns.

Last year, Jones caught 24 passes for 299 yards and two scores in 10 games with Tampa Bay.
