After the NFL approved a rule allowing teams to add a third alternative helmet this season, the Philadelphia Eagles’ decision to bring back their Kelly Green threads after their debut again in 2023 was easy.
The Eagles announced on Friday that the Kelly Green uniforms will return for two games, like last season. The beloved uniforms will return in Week 9 (Nov. 3) on Sunday Night Football against the Jacksonville Jaguars and again in Week 17 (Dec. 29) against the NFC East rival Dallas Cowboys.

In addition to the Kelly Green uniforms, fans should expect a fun Kelly Green pregame show. Those watching at home will notice the Eagles throwback logo appearing where the televised scoreboard is.
Not that it matters (but it does), but the Eagles went 2-0 while wearing the throwback uniforms, defeating the defensive-powered Miami Dolphins in Week 7 and the Buffalo Bills in a nail-biting overtime win in Week 12.
“The Kelly Green jerseys will remain in collaboration with Nike,” the Eagles website read. “Paying homage to the storied past of the franchise and remembering historic moments while invoking new memories among the fanbase,”
The Sunday Night Football matchup will mark the second time in a row that the Eagles have revealed the iconic alternative look in primetime.
