According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the NFL has approved alternate helmets for the 2022 season and beyond. After years of longing, it looks as though Eagles fans might finally be one step closer to getting their wish of seeing the return of ‘kelly green’ jerseys.
It has felt like an eternity since Eagles fans watched their team run out in the iconic kelly green uniform, but Jeffrey Lurie has been pounding the table to bring it back for several years now. The issue was that the NFL previously only allowed one helmet per player for safety reasons, and the team’s owner didn’t want to see midnight green helmets with kelly green jerseys.
