Silver_Star Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 15 hours ago, MCM0313 said: Now they just need to turn the navy alts into a proper 1994 throwback and they’re set. 1990 if they are going for the lightning logo pants. 1994 would be their superbowl against the 49ers and they blew the lead big time, I mean big time.

It was the execution. I do like the 1988-2006 uniforms, but you could hardly see the yellow in the colors if you were close up. The 1985-1987 navy was colorful. Look and compare. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaydre1019 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 38 minutes ago, Kiltman said: So can they only wear the black helmet with the white jersey this season? Are the black jerseys gone? Also the reasoning for this combo is a little silly, but fun: https://theeagleswire.usatoday.com/lists/eagles-uniforms-prediction-all-black-2024-nfl-schedule-cowboys-giants-packers-brazil/# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always liked kelly green more than midnight green, but if you're gonna wear midnight green, wear midnight green. All of the black uniform elements look awful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Said it before and I'll say it again, the Eagles are functionally a black/white team now. 1 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fouhy12 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 The Eagles wore all black once last year and white over black once last year. This will be their only time wearing black helmets this season. Hard to call them a black and white team when they will be wearing either midnight green or Kelly green for the other 16 games. 1 Quote fouhy12's NFL Concepts 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree but I think you also have to take into account how many times they wear all white 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCarp1231 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Isn’t the whole reasoning behind what the Eagles are wearing is because green is associated with gangs in Brazil? Or was that just a rumor? If true, the matchup should’ve been Philly in all black and GB in all white. Which is absolutely grotesque, but given the potential situation, is necessary. The NFL managed to schedule the worst possible teams (outside of the Jets) for this game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From here Eagles release non-green uniform combo for Brazil game Quote NFL spokesperson Tim Schlittner told USA Today that typically green is prohibited in the stadium but said, “None of that applies to the Green Bay-Philadelphia game, where fans of both Packers and Eagles will be wearing green.” The Packers are set to wear their standard home uniform.

I get it but the effect of the San Diego sunshine (very bright with little haze from humidity) made the yellow that was there luminous. I remember the yellow standing out very very well. To this day, it also remains the only Chargers uniform where all the bolts had the same pattern and the same backing. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be wrong, but I think the bolt on the helmet doesn't have the gap between the bolt and the yellow outline. But either way, all the bolts were basically on a navy background. I'm not sure if I've ever disliked a Charger uniform. They are all fantastic IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Cunningham Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 1 hour ago, DCarp1231 said: Isn’t the whole reasoning behind what the Eagles are wearing is because green is associated with gangs in Brazil? Or was that just a rumor? As noted in the article @TBGKon linked (though stating it here to save the click): No, it is not gang-related. It's more along the lines of the state of Ohio banning the letter M during the week of the Michigan game. Green is the color of Palmeiras, the rival of Corinthians, the owner/occupants of the stadium in which Philadelphia and Green Bay will be playing. 1 hour ago, DCarp1231 said: The NFL managed to schedule the worst possible teams (outside of the Jets) for this game. Absolutely correct in terms of color. I would presume that the NFL was too far into planning, talks with owners, and its considerations of which match up was best to move to Brazil for uniform color to matter. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
