A small piece of news came out the other day that suggested the Eagles were mindful and appreciative of their history - if, being an idealistic sort, you were inclined to believe such things.
Buried in a hundred-plus-page packet of information distributed to those media members who will cover the NFL's owners meetings next week was this tidbit: The Eagles had proposed a change to the league's uniform policy. Under the policy, whenever players wear a team's third jersey for a game, they must wear "current, primary helmets," too.
For instance, when the Eagles don their black jerseys for a prime-time game, they have to continue wearing the same midnight-green helmets they always wear.
