It’s official. The Eagles will use kelly green as their alternate jersey in 2023. DZangaroNBCS of NBCSPhilly has the details. FlyEaglesFly
The NFL announced a policy in June of 2021 that would allow teams to use two different helmets starting in the 2022 season. That had been the Eagles’ hurdle in the way of kelly green jerseys because Lurie didn’t want to settle for using decals on the helmet. There was never any rule against using the jerseys but he wanted a matching helmet. Lurie didn’t like the thought of kelly green jerseys and midnight green helmets.
The old one-helmet rule was in place as a safety precaution but it had clearly become outdated. The NFL obviously has enough money to ensure that alternate helmets are safe. The update from last season was that the Eagles were working with Nike in an attempt to match the kelly green as closely as possible. He said Nike currently didn’t have that color in its palette with the new materials used for jerseys these days.
This has been a yearly storyline for Lurie at these meetings. Way back in 2018, he spoke about how eager he was to bring back kelly green jerseys. “They know that with the Eagles, it’s important to us,” Lurie said in 2018. “We really want to be able to have kelly green jerseys at times and to make it look really right, you need to have matching helmets.”
