The Eagles brought back the alternate Kelly Green home uniforms in 2023 to a rousing ovation, but due to prior NFL rules and regulations, teams were only allowed two helmet colorways.

The Kelly Green return meant the loss of the all-black alternates for one season, but that’ll change in 2024 after the NFL announced a new ruling that approves a third helmet for all 32 teams.

The NFL informed clubs today it has revised the uniform policy to allow teams a third helmet design, per source.

Prior to the start of the 2022 season, star wide receiver DeVonta Smith stated that the team has wanted to switch to a new helmet for some time now.

“It’s something the majority of us as players always wanted – just a little change in uniform.”

The team wore its alternate black pants and jersey combination twice in 2021. Both times, it defeated its opponents, outscoring the Giants and Saints by double digits.

Philadelphia went 2-0 last season wearing their Kelly Green uniforms in wins over the Bills and Dolphins.
