hawk36 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Can they do a faux back, make it the 80s uniform but with the new blue/green color? Is that permitted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe use a photo that was actually from an HD camera. An old washed out photo will look better than the actual kelly green that was used. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolvikings Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I'm not sure why anyone would be interested in that halfway compromise. Obviously, the Eagles have no plans for dumping their current sad emo-green and I have no interest in seeing the NFL help them with their bad choices by giving them a second helmet. Much like the San De...um, excuse me, Los Angeles Chargers, when your owner has crappy taste, you just gotta live with it, I guess. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seahawks would look great in a silver helmeted throwback too. Come on NFL, at least allow 2 helmet color options. That Steve Largent/Curt Warner era Seahawk uniform was gorgeous. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcons and 49ers switch out decals for throwbacks. And the Rams switched between metallic gold and athletic gold too. One is an exception, two or more is a pretty standard policy. Which one of those golds is the yellow one? It's amazing that every team in the league with a color that looks like yellow to me calls it gold. If Green Bay's helmet isn't yellow, then what is? I guess yellow died with Bob Ross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we commonly know as yellow is usually "athletic gold". Metallic gold is the beige-y sparkly gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Athletic gold is more orange-y, it has more red in it than a true yellow. Seems like a subtle difference, but isn’t that what these boards are all about? Athletic gold is to yellow what teal is to sky blue: related, but not the same thing. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically what you're telling me is that there's no yellow in sports. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Sure there is. Colleges use it, like Michigan. But pro sports teams seem to prefer the richer, darker athletic gold. Doesn’t change the facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beachperroAZ Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 If the eagles want to use kelly green either change the uniforms completely to kelly green or shut up and deal with the midnight green bad decision from 20 something years ago. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Poncho Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Yep. Yellow is no longer yellow when we want it to not be yellow. It magically changes when applied to a school bus vs., say, a pair of football pants. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
