Did anyone notice that the Eagles are celebrating their 75th anniversary this year as well. The only problem is that they were founded in 1933 not 1932???

They are in Philly. You expect them to know math, too?

That's just unreasonable.







(besides, I know from experience, the days are much longer in Philadelphia... painfully long... )

The Steelers are as well.

Maybe a leap year got counted in or something... or they must think they are gonna do something in early '08

It seems like somebody had a picture here of their throwbacks and they were blue and yellow...anyone remember that thread?

Blue & Yellow? Sounds more like throw up uniforms than throwback uniforms.

yea there uniforms look like a throwback for the UCLA Bruins not the Eagles

I think they are wearing theirs Sept 23 against the Lions

Pretty bad. The people here in Philly hate them too. This is the original unifrom because the Eagles took over after the first NFL team folded in Philly who were the Frankford Yellow Jackets. Even though they were seperate franchises the Eagles took the Yellow Jackets colors so that people would identify with the new team.

Yikes!

I identify the colour green with several emotions. For example, how many times have you heard "green with envy", or "too green to be a man", or "the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence".

This colour always brings negative conotations, paricularly when they are worn by the worst thug-fans in the NFL.

The grass is always greener on the other side of the septic tank. (Thank You, Norma Bombeck)

I don't see that jersey being a big seller.
