Eagles announce Kelly Green return for two games

After the NFL approved a rule for teams to add a third alternative helmet this season, it was an easy decision for the Philadelphia Eagles to bring back their Kelly Green threads after its debut again in 2023.

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.

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.

After allowing four other teams to unveil their new uniforms and helmets, the Eagles have unveiled their new all-black alternate helmets for the world to see.

Star wide receiver DeVonta stated that the move to a new helmet was something the team has wanted for some time now.

“It’s something the majority of us as players always wanted – just a little change in uniform.”

The team wore their alternate black pants and jersey combination twice in 2021. Both times, the team defeated its opponents, outscoring the Giants and Saints by double digits.

Expect more of that with the new helmet addition as the team awaits the return to Kelly Green in 2023.

Twitter reacts to the Philadelphia Eagles teasing fans with the scheduled release of alternate all-black helmets

Teams like the Bengals, Giants, Falcons, and Panthers have all unveiled new alternate helmets or uniforms. Eagles fans have patiently waited for months as the team is expected to unveil a new alternate black helmet.

Last June, the NFL approved a rule that allows teams to wear a secondary helmet to blend in with the new alternate jersey craze.

Because the Eagles initially submitted black as the color of choice for 2021 and 2022, they’ll have to wait another year to bring back the famous Kelly Green look.

On Friday morning, the Eagles’ Twitter account sent out a 12-second video, hyping fans up about the release, which should happen sometime during the day.

Fans react to everything, and Philadelphia teasing the new helmets was no different.

Last June the NFL approved a new rule that allowed teams to have one alternate color helmet to blend in with the new alternate jersey craze.

Because the Eagles initially submitted black as the color of choice for 2021 and 2022, they’ll have to wait another calendar to bring back the famous Kelly Green look.

On Tuesday, team owner Jeffrey Lurie confirmed that Philadelphia will debut a new black helmet in 2022, before debuting the new Nike Kelly Green uniforms in 2023.

The Eagles owner also had a lot to be say about how much he’s involved in draft decisions.

NFL approves alternate helmets for throwback uniforms: How that impacts the Eagles

The Eagles haven’t worn kelly green jerseys as their primary uniform since they switched to midnight green in the mid-1990s, but things could be about to change.

For years, the Eagles and their fans couldn’t understand why the ‘Kelly Green’ uniforms couldn’t be used as an alternate jersey.

The reason was an NFL rule that allowed just one helmet per player for safety and quality control reasons.

Now according to Adam Schefter, fans could finally be getting everything they’ve desired for 20-years.

The Eagles’ helmets are midnight green and owner Jeffrey Lurie didn’t want midnight green helmets and kelly green jerseys on his players.

Now with the new rule passing for 2022, the Kelly Green is back.
