NFL uniform watch: Ranking of all 32 team’s uniforms
By Randy Gurzi
16. Philadelphia Eagles
This has to be said, the Kelly green uniforms of the past are absolutely awesome. Sure, they don’t look as good with the dark green helmets, but that is due to the new helmet rules to try to prevent concussions. The Eagles were rumored recently to be returning to this look and it is not something they should consider, but something they should simply do.
The return to the look of the days with quarterback Randall Cunningham running around and making highlight plays would make even the harshest critic of the team nod in approval.
Back to the current look, it was the turn of the century when the Eagles scrapped their beautiful look for the current version and while it is good, it isn’t the same.
They did do a good job of keeping the helmet unique and interesting with the wings of eagles spreading on either side. The eagle logo on the sleeves is a nice touch as well and the green on white is a nice look.
Two other uniform suggestions, ditch the black alternate because it doesn’t fit with the green helmet. Suggestion number two for the team in the city of brotherly love, wear the 1930s throwback jersey more. The yellow, the blue, the helmet! They are all so ugly that they are absolutely amazing. I understand the helmet rules, but there has to be a way to make this happen.
