Daily News | Are the Eagles picking the right kelly green throwbacks?
Like we said, the Eagles will have no shortage of options. Here’s a look at some of the different varieties over the years.The Randall Era: Late 80s-Early 90sSo which will they choose? According to Lurie, it sounds — and looks, based on— like the Eagles will lean on their kelly greens from the Randall Cunningham Era, aka the late ‘80s and early ‘90s.
Even though it may not look that way on first glance, that’s very different than what the Eagles rolled out the last time they were able to wear a full kelly green uniform that included the color-matched helmet . As you can see above, that one included white pants, a solid silver wing on the helmet, and numbers — instead of the old logo — on the sleeves. They were replicas of the 1960 Eagles uniforms that the team wore that season when they won the NFL Championship.
“It’s going to be as identical to what that existed as possible,” Lurie said. “And we’re working with Nike to make it happen. We wish we could deliver it right away, but it takes a two-year process with the material that it’s going to be utilized in 2023. They don’t have that in their palette.”
