In 81 years, the Philadelphia Eagles have never worn all-black uniforms. That will change on Sunday night when the Eagles face-off against the Giants.
“For the first time in their 81-year franchise history, the Eagles will be wearing all black. And they’ll do it against their NFC East division rival New York Giants on Sunday Night Football.”
Eagles linebacker Connor Barwin was the first player to let the news slip, when he did a radio interview on Monday:
“We will be wearing all black, for the first time ever I think,” Barwin said. “We’ve always wore black jerseys with white pants, but we will be in all black, which is going to be very cool for Sunday night.”
The Eagles have been wearing their black jerseys this season, due to the fact that Nike has not been able to get the Eagles’ shade of midnight green right. The black pants will simply allow the team to switch it up a bit and make a little history while doing so.
