Jeffrey Lurie confirms the Eagles will debut Kelly Green uniforms in 2023

The Eagles owner confirmed what fans have been craving since 2010, as the Kelly Green uniforms will return in 2023.

Jeffrey Lurie had his second state of the union address this offseason, discussing Jalen Hurts’ looming contract, Nick Sirianni’s retooled staff, and how you need elite quarterback play to be a Super Bowl contender.

With the league meetings continuing over the next two days, here are takeaways and observations from Lurie’s media session.

The 2010 season was the last time Philadelphia wore Kelly Green jerseys (and helmets). Shortly after, the NFL implemented a rule that teams could only have one color as a safety precaution.

With that rule changed, the Eagles will also have an all-black alternative and the Kelly Green look.
