Which Do You Prefer Midnight Green Or Kelly Green For The Birds?

I don’t think the Eagles should go back to the kelly green uniforms which they wore for a few decades until the Jeffrey Lurie-owned Eagles made the team’s main color midnight green.

All of this talk about going back to the kelly green color is occurring because the Eagles will be breaking out the old kelly green uniforms when the open the season in the fall against the Green Bay Packers.

Yesterday DeSean Jackson, Brent Celek and Stewart Bradley took pictures at the scene of the Eagles last NFL Championship.

They’ll be celebrating the 50th anniversary of that championship which the Birds won in 1960 over the Vince Lombardi-led Packers.

I like the midnight green color because¬† it looks better with other colors.¬† It’s much more acceptable than the puke kelly green.¬† That puke green color doesn’t look good with anything else.

I know a lot of Eagles fans grew up watching the Birds play in the kelly green but we don’t need to go back to it.¬† We can play a couple games in the uniforms each year but we shouldn’t change back.

What do you think?  Should we go back to the kelly green color or stay with midnight green?

I like both but I wouldn’t want to go back to the kelly green as the main jersey. I would however, like to see them wear them more often. Maybe once or twice a year at the most.

I like the Kelly Green. We’re only wearing it for one game and then its back to midnight green….I think it would be nice to wear these unis for more then one game a year…..we could always break out the yellow ones!:)

The Kelly green is fine for nostalgia for a couple games a year but they should stick with the midnight green as the main uniform.

I don’t know maybe since wer going more pure west coast offense, Kelly Green might be our new number one color..I wonder if midnight green will get a new contract.

silencer: that’s funny! And you’re right about the garbage articles that get posted. Micah is the only one that can write worth a damn. G. has good insight so I don’t mind that he writes at a 9th grade level. I laughed out loud when Haran made the inference that he was a journalist.

You guys shouldn’t take the site so seriously. I mean Paulman has a couple articles posted. No offense Paulman, but come on.

Just take everything here like a grain of salt and that’s it. No need to get bent out of shape. Or go to another site. Very simple.

I like reading inside reports that have a lot more honesty than the ones coming out of philadelphiaeagles.com.

G:

Kelly green. You obviously have had a bad college experience involving “re-generated” food. Too bad for you. I’m holding back here with your opinion about it not matching any other color. Are you kidding me, G? It doesn’t match any other color?! What are you Susan Wang or whomever?! You need to back off on this because it’s about lifetime Eagles’ fans. Frankly, I would prefer the white helmets with the green wings, but that’s not going to happen. I like the uniform you wore, G. There will never be another like that.

I agree Scorp. Why are you guys taking shots at the writers on this website? Its easy, if you don’t like the content thats being written don’t come to the website. Its ok to disagree with the columnists but no need to insult them.

And you guys wonder why Philly fans get such a bad rep.

I smoked some Kelly Green this morning…I Loved it! Better than those Yellow and Blue Jerseys. I prefer the Black Jerseys myself.

I love vegetables. . . absolutely love ’em, but I don’t particularly care for asparagus. So, I don’t eat it. That’s what’s great about America. I have options.

I learned a long time ago that people who tear others down do so only because they feel bad about themselves. They think that by trying to make someone else look bad, they actually look better. Guess what, just because you blow out someone else’s candle, yours doesn’t burn any brighter.

Another great thing about America: It’s a free-enterprise society. If you feel this product is inferior, you are free to market your own. Each of us has the opportunity to start his or her own website. In fact, you can do it at no cost. I have a couple of them and they didn’t cost a dime.

A little food for thought, without the asparagus.

I always liked the black jerseys and I love this idea of Kelly Green for a game, but I wouldn’t revert back to it as our primary color.
Also, since when was puke Kelly Green?

haha despite my screen name on this website, i wholeheartedly support the switch back to kelly green! not the throwbacks they have on right now for the 50th anniversary, but an updated version of the uni’s before the midnight green would be pretty sick

Phillywill, seriously, we get it. You hate the Eagles management. You hate Andy Reid. The Eagles are terrible and anyone who does not think like you is a kool-aid drinking lapdog. Give it a rest. While you are being quiet, learn some spelling and grammar.

Schiller: Puke Green Exists

Your puke may be green sometimes, but that’s not because you ate green beans. Puke looks green when a chemical called bile (say: byel) mixes with it. This will happen if the food that comes back up is squeezed from your intestines into your stomach and then up your throat. Be sure to tell a parent if your puke looks green.

I like both. I really love the kelly green with the silver pants because thats what I remember from when I was a kid. Midnight green is a bit more refined and it does sort of Pop more. I also like the new logo and style a little bit better.

I propose that for one year we suspend the black alternate jersey (which I dig a-lot but black is just not really an eagles color) and have the alternate jersey be the modern jersey but in Kelly green and the helmet should have the modern wing with a bit more silver on a Kelly green base to match. I also think the numbers should be white with a silver and black border.

So Silencer you would have us go to a brownish color with yellow and white and fading to black at the tips to better emulate the Animal known as the Eagle????

YUCK!!! We would look like some chewed up redskins and browns jersey all spit out on the field.

I agree with the one poster that said new uniforms for what loks and feels like an expansion team seems to makes sense. Personally, I think they should stick with midnight green. Kelly green just seems like a “Blue Light Special” type color.

The worse part about these uniforms is that they look like counterfeit Jets uniforms or something. Personally I’ve always though they should go to natural colors that a real Eagle is. Mostly Copper, Gold and white.
