The Eagles played host to the Dolphins in Philadelphia on Sunday Night Football to bring a close to the day's Week 7 action. And they did it in style.
Playing in primetime, the Eagles were sporting their throwback Kelly green jerseys, and playing on a field to match the color.
While alternate jerseys are now the norm across sports, there is a special bit of appreciation for Philadelphia's Kelly greens, which the Eagles haven't worn since the 2010 season opener against the Packers.
Across social media, the Eagles' throwbacks earned rave reviews, with many fans calling on the team to make them a more consistent part of the Birds' wardrobe.
They look better than we all thought somehow. Just perfect. https://t.co/aXxXmbjm7Q

The Eagles are firmly in the territory Pitt was, where if your throwbacks are this good, it's a crime to wear anything else. https://t.co/bibMwwVeS9

Eagles took their time on the design to make sure it was right, and they knocked it out of the park. #FlyEaglesFly https://t.co/Cx1lFILkiJ

Should be mandatory for the Eagles & Giants to wear these uniforms next time they play. pic.twitter.com/YPwQ1pDdnT
