Eagles want NFL to allow 'alternate helmet'; could Kelly green return as a third uniform?

The Eagles are proposing a new resolution at next week’s NFL meetings that could excite fans who want to see the team in alternate helmets - perhaps even the popular Kelly green helmets that are now throwbacks.

The Eagles want to take out the language in the league’s third uniform policy that requires “only current, primary” helmets be used as part of a third uniform. The effect of the proposal is it would permit teams to have an “alternate helmet” to be worn with a third uniform.

The Eagles have worn black uniforms as their third uniform, but they’ve kept their same midnight green helmets.
