Please keep this in mind for the helmet and pass it along to him

[The_Talon]

No, thank you. The current uniforms and helmets are fine. Anyone can see that.

Speak for yourself.     Anything that brings back the old logo or brings us any closer to the pre-Lurie uniforms will be a welcome change.

Especially replacing that nasty color they have now with the true Eagles color - Kelly Green.

Midnight green sucks.

They need to use a less bright kelly green. I dont like the throw backs they wore a couple years ago. I liked the 90s ones right before the change to the new ones.

The majority of the fanbase are calling for a change from the current uniforms, that's what I see.

Absolutely - the circa-1990 Buddy-era unis were perfect.

I'd actually be in favor of keeping the current lettering & font but replacing the midnight green with kelly green. Someone posted a photochop of that & it looked interesting.

I've seen some midnight green shirts that are a faded out retro look.  It's better than the shiny midnight green.  A lot of teams changed to a late 90s style jersey and logo in the late 90s and early 2000s.  A lot of NBA teams did that, too.  Now that trend is out of style and going retro is in style.  Look at the Sixers for example.

They could bring back the old color and do a new logo and font that is fresh and modern looking while still being retro.  Here's the Buddy era.

[NOTW]

And bring back this logo.

The Eagles never had better looking unis than these.

[PhillyPhan13]

If it'll make the team play better I'm all for it.  Otherwise, I couldn't care less about the style of the uni's.

Helps that the Players in them comprised what were probably one of the top 5 defenses of all time

[Rodney_Zero]

If anything keep them traditional, I have no problem with that, I want no part of the new and current Sci Fi looking NFL uni's, and some teams just don't get it like the Seahawks, Jags, and some teams do, like the Bills & Jets w/ their AFL retro style. While i'm at it, college teams are getting way out hand like Oregon & Maryland, give me the vintage of Bama, Penn St, Tenn, LSU, Texas, Nebraska, Ohio ST, etc..

No, please don't.

If the reason behind the switch from Kelly Green was that they represented a losing tradition (which is one of the reasons I'd heard), then the white helmets are even worse.

The Eagles in white helmets is just wrong.

[frustratedeaglesfan]

Lurie will not entertain any uniform changes until his market research team determines it is profitable for him to do so.  In merchandising, profitability is the bottom line.  That market research in turn will determine the color schemes in the end.

Currently, there is no incentive for Lurie to change from our current uni's as according to Forbes 2013 research, the Eagles are #6 in merchandise rankings (http://www.forbes.co...lphia-eagles-2/).

So until such time it becomes more profitable for Lurie to make a change, he will just continue to keep the current era gear and get a little extra $gravy$ off the top with the retro gear sales.

I would buy all new gear if they went back to the Kelly Green uniforms from the mid 70's to late 80's (either style from those eras). I wouldn't if they went with some outlandish uniform or went with the white helmet.

It has to be the original mid 70's to late 80's style for me to put out any amount of money larger than a new hat purchase though.

You guys are gross. Why is everything about moving backwards with you guys?

I agree

[owensaws]

I agree midnight green and black suck that is not the eagles we are KELLY GREEN baby

[voodoochile75]

I want the wings done over. I hate all the curves and round edges.

Need straight aggressive lines and shape edges.

[LacesOut]

That white helmet is nice.

Bring back the gray pants?

[frustratedeaglesfan]

I'd be all for going back to the gray/silver pants.  Classic look from the '85-'96 era.

Gross? It was that classic Kelly Green helmet from the 70's that attracted me to be an Eagles fan as a 4 or 5 year old in the early 70's. I found it 'gross' when they threw tradition out the window and changed the colors in 1996.

[bigdogdad]

as long as they get rid of the black

[Tomahoochi]

Oh, wrong place. You guys are talking about clothes in this thread... can someone point me to the pumps and purses thread?

[Erie]

I don't care what they wear as long as they learn to tackle and block.
