There have been several teams in the NFL that have been wearing throwback uniforms as of recent & the one team that wore throwbacks today were the Eagles. I mean, what was with the different colors they wore today? They looked like a college football team that gave a pounding on one of the professional teams & I find that the Eagles Throwback Uniforms were awful to see today. Instead of their Green & Silver, it was Light Blue & Gold that was to represent the start of their franchise in the 1930's. My goodness, what was that team thinking?
And the Redskins wore Throwbacks today & their uniforms represent the 1970's look. Too bad it didn't help him win today & for good reason.
All I can say is it's not a bad idea to do something like that on occassion when you have all the 32 teams to participate on it, but to have such awful throwback uniforms dated back to the days of the depression, please! Leave those in the past & leave it alone! Throwbacks? It's a throwup!

I'm an Eagles fan and I can say those uniforms were nasty. They were the uniforms they wore even before they were called the Eagles. To celebrate their 75th anniversary they should have went to the classic Kelly green uniforms they used to wear.

I didn't care for the Eagles throwup, er...throwback uniforms today. They are absolutely hideous. I doubt too that they are an accurate representation as I think most teams colors were muted then, as compared to today's standards.
I think the Eagles were stoked because of all the ribbing they got. Can you imagine how it would feel to lose a game while dressed like that?
However, if I needed to clean up some spilled motor oil.....

I love the throwback uniform idea. It's cool to see something different that's not permanent. You are right, the ones from way back in the day are pretty ugly. They probably didn't look bad back when the colors were a sweat shirt type fabric. Then they weren't shiny. Wearing leather helmets would help too.

I think its ok, nothing I really put that much thought into. I think it would be cooler if they did more relevent/recent throwbacks. Other than the 49ers which did the uniforms from Walsh's era, the teams are going to ancient uniforms before most of our times! I'd like to see the Broncos 80's uniforms, with the big giant D!!!

The Eagles looked horrible. The Redskins looked like the Packers.
I really do not like the Throwbacks.

Some throwbacks are nice like the 49ers, redskins, cowboys ,even the bucs. But that mess philly had on today was awful.That's how they won the game because Detroit couldn't stand the sight of those ugly uniforms.

I like Throwback unifors. Yes, some of them are ugly. Many of them don't conform to modern aesthetics. Most of them don't even fit the shape pof modern uniforms. Gut voth in tribute to history and for a change of pace, I like them.
It's certainly a darn sight better than those "turn ahead the clock" baseball uniforms atemped afew years ago, that included the"Mercury Mets."
Is there a website that I can see this year's throwbacks?

The Eagles were orginally the YELLOW JACKETS, so GREEN would have been a STUPID color for the team. Man this has been talked about so much today that your comment misses the point when you bring up the color. They are wearing them ONCE to CELEBRATE BEING 75 years old. Let me guess your team isn't that old so you don't understand the point of HONORING THE PAST. Sure the Eagles jersey was UGLY. On the other hand I'd be happy to wear a jersey that ugly to celebrate the franchise being that old.

Most of the throwback uniforms would be more accurately called 'Throw-Up' uniforms. Those Philly ones today were the worse I've seen, god awful ugly.

Everyone might mock the Eagles uniform today but there is no way you can lose track of your receivers in those things after putting up 56 points.
