Bleeding Green Nation
Philadelphia is officially the “home team” in Super Bowl LIX.
The uniforms for Super Bowl LIX are set.
The Philadelphia Eagles will be wearing their midnight green jerseys with white pants.
The Kansas City Chiefs will be wearing their white jerseys with red pants.
These are the same color combinations from the Eagles’ loss to the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII. The Eagles were also the “home team” in that game with the NFL alternating between NFC and AFC every year.
Some might argue the Eagles should’ve worn white. Others will point out that the Eagles won their only Super Bowl while wearing midnight green.
The feeling here is that it would’ve been pretty cool if the Eagles broke out Kelly Green for the big game. But that never seemed like a realistic option.
And so midnight green it is. Here are some more numbers on the Eagles’ jersey color combinations via Deniz Selman. Note that he posted these records before the Eagles blew out the Washington Commanders while wearing midnight green in the NFC Championship Game.
