Interesting choice.
The Eagles haven’t worn their white tops with midnight green pants all season ... until now.
Here’s a complete week-by-week jersey breakdown.
Week 1 at Washington Redskins: All white (W)
Week 2 at Kansas City Chiefs: All white (L)
Week 3 vs. New York Giants: Midnight green top, white pants (W)
Week 4 at Los Angeles Chargers: Midnight green top, white pants (W)
Week 5 vs. Arizona Cardinals: Midnight green top, white pants (W)
Week 6 at Carolina Panthers: All white (W)
Week 7 vs. Washington Redskins: Midnight green top, white pants (W)
Week 8 vs. San Francisco 49ers: Midnight green top, white pants (W)
Week 9 vs. Denver Broncos: All black (W)
Week 10: Bye
Week 11 at Dallas Cowboys: Midnight green top, white pants (W)
Week 12 vs. Chicago Bears: Midnight green top, white pants (W)
Week 13 at Seattle Seahawks: All white (L)
Week 14 at Los Angeles Rams: Midnight green top, white pants (W)
Week 15 at New York Giants: White top, midnight green pants (?)
The other option for the Eagles was to go with the all-white. They’re 2-2 in those jerseys this year, though, as opposed to 9-0 in all others.
Does the jersey choice really have anything to do with the record? Probably not. But maybe the team is trying to avoid bad juju. And I’m not talking about the Steelers wide receiver.
The interesting thing about this week’s game is it could very well be the last time the Eagles play on the road all season. If the Eagles lock up the No. 1 seed, they’ll be playing at Lincoln Financial Field until they either get eliminated or make it to the Super Bowl and play on a neutral field. Philadelphia is undefeated when wearing their standard home jerseys in 2017.
On an unrelated note, while I have you here, check out this video of Brent Celek mic’d up from last week.
