Or do we have evidence that another alternate helmet, etc. is still coming? A lot of Bills fans think a throwback may be coming. Josh Allen teased people with a red helmet at practice last season. I can't tell if it's just fans wishcasting or if there's actually a chance, but we should find out soon. fouhy12's NFL Concepts 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing this means we still get the all-black uniforms with the midnight green helmets for a game. The Eagles have worn black against the Giants every season since 2014 except for 2017, and that game is a standalone game on Christmas this year. Feels like we can at least pencil that in as the black-out game for Philly. fouhy12's NFL Concepts 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they wanted a SNF game and a Thanksgiving / Black Friday-ish game so they can maximize holiday sales. 8 minutes ago, DCarp1231 said: Weren’t the Eagles the team advocating for three helmets? They definitely were the ones lobbying for two. I don’t recall hearing them saying anything about three. As far as I know, the black was a one-year deal just until the throwback was permitted. 2 "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

monkeypower Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 3 hours ago, BBTV said: 1. They're remarkably restrained in that they haven't made a single noticeable change in 20 years, and have had the same uniform in spirit for 27. What? I did not know that the current Eagles set is as old as me. I just kind of assumed it was an early-mid 00s thing. Though my first real concrete memory of the Eagles was Donovan McNabb on the cover of Madden 06, so it's not like I was taking notice of the Eagles all that much back them.

BigEd76 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 https://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/news/eagles-kelly-green-uniforms-became-reality-inside-story Quote Nike developed the custom-made color for the product – the Kelly Green is not in the Pantone color of Nike – and the Eagles will wear the new fabric, which is more breathable and made from all recycled materials. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simtek34 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 The Dolphins and Bills? Sure Eagles, you had plenty of other matchups you could have worn the throwback with. Looking at your home games, Kelly Green could have been worn against another team from the NFC East, the 49ers, the Vikings, heck, even the Cardinals. With alternate uniforms, I wish teams would stop wearing alternate uniforms versus interconfertnce opponents. These teams only come to your stadium once every eight years. I don't mind it for throwbacks if the opposing team is wearing an era accurate uniform/throwback as well, but that rarely happens. And ofc, it seems like they're still gonna wear their Black jerseys some point this season too, with them only wearing the Kelly Greens two times.

They stopped wearing the gray facemask after the 1979 season. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 12 hours ago, HOOVER said: Would be interesting if the Eagles merged these throwbacks with their current set. Not exactly sure how. If someone did some mock-ups of their current set in Kelly Green and the throwbacks in Midnight Green, that’d be a fun starting point. I’d suggest retaining the current logo & helmet wings but ditching Midnight for Kelly: Kelly Green helmet with a Black facemask: Keep the current jerseys' Black collars and cuffs, body changed to Kelly, but use the throwback number font. Keep the current White pant with Green & Black stripe, swapped from Midnight to Kelly, and the solid sets of Black socks and White socks they wear now. Have a Grey/Silver pant also. No more Green pants. I'm reminded of how good Kelly & Black have looked at Marshall over the years: We'd inevitably get Black alts, but the Kelly Green pops so much better off of Black than Midnight Green does: I've always t really enjoyed Marshall's particular hue of kelly green. That said, in my mind, this is the particular shade the JETS should double down on. I mean, they are Gang Green, after all—AND they represent New York. They should be as distinctively green as humanly possible.... 1 *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to know how the fabric gets dyed for all other colors, because it sure seems like green is Nike's kryptonite (fully intended). EDIT: And the helmet - which Nike has nothing to do with - doesn't even look close. I'm being overly harsh here, and overall I'm fine with what they did, but I don't buy that they put that much effort into replicating the green when 1) they didn't, and 2) even if they did, the fabrics are so different that it wouldn't matter. 4 "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

VDizzle12 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Looks like the Browns elf logo might not be at midfield next year. https://www.instagram.com/p/CvXo1_jrAem/ I'm guessing they go with the new Dawg Pound logo? or maybe the 1946 football? As someone who literally had a dog in the fight, this one is going to hurt bad. But I'm happy for the person who won. It's a solid logo and much better than some of the other potential options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been a fan of the cartoon-wings they adopted in '96. I'd be cool with a midnight-green version of the 80s/early-90s uniform... maybe with the current Eagle logo on the sleeve. 3 "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

LogoFan Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 I love the silver with the Eagle's throwbacks. It's unique and helps stand the Eagles apart from the Jets. Now if they'd only add a silver outline to the numerals... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
