![]() ![]() how killer of a name was the Frankford Yellow Jackets? They were the NFL team that preceded the Eagles in Philadelphia and first used these colors. they were well received by the other Eagles fans in the bathroom.Īnother note. There was a drunk Chiefs fan in the bathroom yelling at me asking why I was wearing a Chargers jersey. I wore that jersey to the Eagles-Chiefs game this past season. No Eagle will be more famed in this look than Curtis, who had a mind-blowing 11 catches for 221 yards and three touchdowns that day. I copped a Kevin Curtis Reebok version of this last year. These are in "they're so bad that they're good territory" and are about 10 years away from having a renaissance at Mitchell & Ness. Shamus' take: Am I going to contradict myself about what I said about the Eagles' helmet? Yes, but at least these are a tribute to a pre-Eagles team.

That stupid rule is gone, and on Tuesday, our own Jimmy Kempski broke that the Eagles will be adding a black helmet to their rotation for 2022, and then in 2023, will be bringing back alternate Kelly green jerseys and helmets. But another part of it was that "one-helmet" rule, said to be in the name of player safety, that the NFL instituted in 2013 that made it difficult for teams to get creative with alternate uniforms. staying, arguably stubbornly, committed to the same branding he commissioned after he bought the team in 1994. It's been the midnight green, white, and black combinations for the past 20 years with very little deviation. ![]() The Eagles have never been that interesting of a team when it comes to uniforms. ![]()
