5 NFL teams that should make throwback uniforms permanent
By Randy Gurzi
1. Philadelphia Eagles
It’s hard to find many uniforms more beautiful than what the Philadelphia Eagles wore back in the 1980s and 1990s. They were also an incredibly fun team to watch back in those days, which surely helps with that feeling.
On offense, Randall Cunningham was the quarterback who was there for 11 seasons from 1985 through 1995 and he led them to a 63-43-1 record as the starter. He was one of the better running quarterbacks of the era and even could be seen surprising us all with the occasional punt.
Defensively, Reggie White was their standout athlete as the Hall of Fame defensive end was there from 1985 through 1992 and made it to the Pro Bowl every season outside of his rookie campaign. One of the best defenders to ever play the game, White looked amazing with the kelly green jersey and the simple silver wings on his helmet.
However, the uniform is still cool even without nostalgia being factored in. When the league allowed helmet changes, the Eagles would occasionally throw it back and there was something magical about watching Michael Vick and DeSean Jackson run track and field in these threads.
