Count Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie among those who want to see the Eagles in kelly green. Lurie confirmed that the Eagles’ since-withdrawn proposal about allowing alternate helmets was an attempt to re-introduce kelly green uniforms for a few games each year.
“I want to see us use kelly green as an alternate and Thursday night-type of uniform,” Lurie said. “The only thing blocking us we can’t use a kelly green helmet yet. So that’s what we’re waiting for. We’re going to keep pushing at it. The only reason we withdrew is we were told it wasn’t going to pass.
