QuickTip: If you skimmed, go back for detail.
- Midnight Green: This isn't your average park bench green. We're talking a deep, sophisticated emerald that screams "championship dreams" (and maybe a little bit of envy from rival teams).
- Silver: Shiny and sleek, the silver accents on the Eagles' jerseys and helmets add a touch of modern flair. It's like saying, "We're a team steeped in tradition, but we're also looking sharp for the future."

Did you know the Eagles' fight song, "Fly, Eagles Fly," boasts the lyric "with kelly green so bright"? That's a reference to an earlier shade of green the team used. They switched to the more sophisticated midnight green in 1996, but hey, respect for the classics!
