Eagles Unveiled Return of Popular Kelly Green Jerseys and Fans Were Hyped

The Philadelphia Eagles posted a video featuring some current players wearing the iconic colors.

The Eagles gave their fans another reason to look forward to the regular season Sunday night when they unveiled their popular Kelly Green throwback jerseys for 2023. Wide receiver Devonta Smith, quarterback Jalen Hurts, defensive end Josh Sweat, offensive lineman Jordan Mailata and cornerback James Bradberry got the honor of serving as models for the announcement. 

The NFL originally announced that Philadelphia would bring back the fan favorites in March along with some Photoshopped pics of Smith and Hurts wearing the uniforms. This time, however, it’s the real deal.

Philadelphia will first wear the jerseys on Oct. 22 for its Sunday Night Football matchup against the Dolphins and then on Nov. 26 against the Bills—both being home games.
