The Philadelphia Eagles will throw it back twice during the 2024 NFL season and rock their vintage Kelly Green jerseys and helmets.
ESPN Adam Schefter reports that the Birds will first wear the jerseys in Week 9 (Nov. 3) against the Jacksonville Jaguars in primetime and then for their last matchup of the season Week 17 (Dec. 29) against the Dallas Cowboys.

The Eagles wore Kelly Green uniforms up until 1996 when owner Jeffrey Lurie had the team switch to Midnight Green.
The Eagles' Kelly Green jerseys were brought back just last season and came with a lot of luck when they wore them against the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins, going 2-0 in those games.
These uniforms feature Kelly Green jerseys and helmets along with grey pants and white-striped socks, and take fans back to the good ol' days when Randall Cunningham and Reggie White dominated the gridiron.
The announcement comes just a day after Funk Pop! released an exclusive Jalen Hurts Kelly Green vinyl figure.
