I couldn't agree more. This shade of green with the grey pants. Perfect.

I like the Eagles black jerseys. Hopefully they'll wear the green pants with them.

I really liked that look, a few years ago, when they wore them together. It was surprisingly good and menacing. Kinda like the Jags, when they used to wear the teal jersey's with the black pants every-once-in-a-while. As a change-up look, it worked. I wouldn't be surprised, if the Jags went to this look this Sunday, considering how bad they have played at home this year and because they are playing the undefeated Titans. Hey, why not at this point?

I still can't quite figure, why, for a night game, that the Eagles haven't worn the green jersey's with green pants at home. In fact, since they switched to black shoes, I don't think they have ever worn this combo.

If the Eagles truly wanted to "go green" this year as part of their marketing campaign, this would be a real way to do it. Maybe for the Cleveland Monday Night game later in the year, the monochrome Eagles will make an appearance for once.

Wouldn't be the first time the Eagles have gone mono.

First time was way, waayyy back in 1997, against the Niners on MNF. Proof?

Right, they wore the green on green a few times (they wore them on the last regular-season game against the Redskins in 2002 also), but not since they tweaked the uniform to add silver and charcoal to the pants stripe, charcoal to the numbers, and the new wordmark under the collar. If they went green on green now, it would look a lot better than even in those pictures... which isn't bad!

Us Eagle fans prefer midnight green over kelly.

Fixed your post.

You don't speak for Eagles fans... the majority of whom prefer the kelly green (at least the ones >25 years old.)

Let's see here:

Eagles = Green = Black

Flyers = Orange = Black

Sixers = Red, White, Blue = Black

Phillies = Red = Let's hope it doesn't happen.

I just can't understand how the 1990's are still going on.

I'll take any green over black. In fact I'd rather see the blue/yellow again before the black. But, most of all, I'd just like to see the team somehow squeak into the playoffs.

Of course I don't have a link. I personally prefer the midnight green, but considering i live right in the middle of Eagle land, and attend every game, I think I have my finger on the pulse of the situation.

I like what the Eagles wore last time they played the bengals. Black jersey with the green pants. I couldn't find a picture.

[chestnutz]

I love those Cunningham era uniforms. Wish they'd go back to them, if not for just a game.

And I'd say the majority of Philly fans actually prefer kelly, so speak for yourself.

The kelly green was a nice classic look but I like the midnight green better. It doesn't remind me of the wasted Buddy and Kotite era...

Thank you. I hate the midnight green but LOVE the kelly green.

Either green can look good, but I can't stand that wonky font.

well the way I see it, it's based on the same design principles as this

You've got balance there. The lighter color is the helmet and pants, the darker color is represented in the jersey and socks. It follows normal football uniform design so I don't think it looks as bad as it might sound. I think it looks better this way than when they wear the white pants with the black jersey. There is not enough midnight green in the black jersey worn with the white pants to justify the helmet being green. The green pants provide a good balance amongst all the colors.

I actually like this better than the black jersey with the white pants. Like McCarthy said, it's about the balance, and even if the whole package approaches Seahawks levels of drabness, at least there's still a good amount of green in it.

Well said.

The only thing that bugs me about that jersey combination are the solid green sleeve stripes & collar on the jersey.

Wait a minute, he doesn't, but you do? wtf Pot/Kettle/That one color. And for the record, I hate the "jade" or midnight green they wear. Ugly as sin.

His post claimed that Eagles fans preferred MG to KG, which is a generalization that nobody, including me could possibly make. My post stated that most fans over 25 prefer KG to MG, which is not a sweeping generalization, but an opinion based on an abundance of evidence. I'm not speaking for everyone - just pointing out something that in the absence of an official poll, is likely a fact. Why is my opinion better than a sweeping generalization? For one, I live in Philadelphia and am surrounded by Eagles fans at work, and at outside of work. I also work at the stadium, so I get to speak with hundreds of different fans at every single game. Do we talk about uniforms? Of course not, except when I'm speaking to someone in an old KG jersey and I make a comment about it and they reply with "I won't buy the new crap - what is that, teal or something?"

Eagles will never win anything as long as McNabb is QB. You can bank on that.

what about four division championships (2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004), four NFC Championship Games (2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004), one NFC Championship (2004), and one Super Bowl appearance (XXXIX)?
