The Eagles revealed the Kelly Green uniforms over the weekend, turning the legendary jerseys of the 80s into an alternate colorway for the future.
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.
Jeffery Lurie:
“This is the season we will re-introduce the Classic Kelly Green and I’m super excited about it.”

Fans have been clamoring for the unveil and were so diligent in their research that the photos were leaked two days early.
With that rule changed, the Eagles will also have the all-black alternative and the Kelly Green look, but no black helmets.

NFL rules only permit two helmets during the season, meaning the Birds will be rocking the Midnight Green and Kelly Green looks.

NFL teams can have four jerseys: home, road, and two alternates.
That means Philadelphia will wear Home (Midnight Green), Road (White), Black (Alternate), and Kelly Green (Alternate).
With the NFL schedule now revealed, we’re updating our prediction of which game or games the Birds could choose to unveil the famed look.
