FINALLY.
After years of Jeffrey Lurie talking about the Philadelphia Eagles’ interest in bringing Kelly Green back for the team’s alternate uniforms, it’s actually going to happen.
Lurie announced as much during his press conference at the NFL owners meetings on Tuesday afternoon.
This development isn’t a total shock; it was expected to be announced at some point after the NFL approved a helmet rule change last summer.
Still, it’s great to hear the confirmation.
Of course, the waiting isn’t exactly over just yet. Citing the need for Nike to create a kelly green color for the Eagles, Lurie said the alternates won’t be ready until the 2023 season.
