PERRIN Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I'd agree that midnight is better for the Eagles. While they did wear it for years, and I like kelly green more in general, I've never been particularly fond of any of the kelly green uniforms. The midnight is completely unique in sports and looks great with white, silver, or black. Now that the Jets have made their switch back to kelly, they really shouldn't move to kelly either. I'd be fine with a throwback, but I feel that that's the farthest they should move forward.

dont care Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Unique isn’t the same as good, and with no team wearing kelly green currently it would be unique in its own right while looking far better than midnight green especially the way it looks on the matte Nike fabrics.

JustForFun Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I'd like the Eagles "midnight green" uniforms way more if they were actually, you know, green. Changing the fabrics and manufacturers has ended up making the uniforms teal. The Eagles currently wear teal uniforms, not green ones. Sorry, but this is a hill I'm prepared to die on.

In recent weeks, I have been inspired to begin a debate thread on one of football uniform design's all-time questions. Do the Philadelphia Eagles look better in midnight green or kelly green? Now please note, I am not discussing uniform design as much as color. The current Eagles' number font is atrocious and the pre-90s Eagles helmet wings are lacking. Rather, the next time Philadelphia redesigns, would you prefer they stay on the same color route with their midnight green they won their first Super Bowl in? Or would you like to see a return to the classic shade they've worn for most of their history? Personally, I believe they should roll with the midnight green. It is very unique and fitting for the Eagles. The uniforms aren't great, but i'm in love with the helmet and the colors. I think the Eagles NEED to change in one of two ways (and this is coming from a fan. Idc what they win a Super Bowl in if they can improve their look do it) 1) Go the kelly green route (my preferred would be the post above but with modern helmet wings) 2) Keep midnight but make some much needed updates for color consistency: Create a more traditional football font and lessen the overuse of black throughout. Tweak the green slightly away from blue and more towards what Michigan State has. Any eagles fan could break out 4 "midnight green" jerseys from their closet since '96 and you'll see a lot of color inconsistencies Make the helmet a flat texture. I dont see this mentioned a lot but since the move away from the shiny jerseys, the glossy helmets end up looking a lot darker than the rest of their look and it looks bad on TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they go flat, id prefer them do kelly green. There's something special about that metallic midnight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is so gorgeous ... ethereal gorgeous, my knees get weak. Green is my favorite color, but that goes beyond personal preferences Lots of guys here are professionals, let me throw this question out: I suspect the lighting and photo quality affected my reaction to that pic. My question is how greatly can equipment distort or misrepresent or over-enhance colors and images? By equipment I mean video card, monitor, camera, lighting. I bought a Viewsonic "Pro Series" monitor awhile back partly because it hyped its color "accuracy," etc., and although I know most ALL video cards have evolved WAY beyond what 90% of consumers need, I still buy a pretty decent one every 4-5 years.
