6 NFL throwback helmets we can’t wait to see

2. Philadelphia Eagles
In the 1980s, the Philadelphia Eagles had some elite players on their team such as Reggie White and Randall Cunningham. White was a beast when it came to getting after the passer and made huge waves when he left the team in 1993. He was one of the first big-name free agents to strike a massive deal, but his best days were still on the Eagles when he had a stretch that included 39 sacks in 1987 and 1988.
Cunningham was their star quarterback who was a threat with both his arm and legs. He threw for 22,877 yards and 150 touchdowns in 11 seasons and added 4,482 yards and 32 touchdowns rushing. To show how athletic he was, he even had 20 career punts including a 91 yarder with the Eagles.
As great as those two were, the best part about watching their old games is the iconic uniform they wore. The kelly green Eagles jersey is the best the franchise has ever worn and fans of the team always show appreciation when it’s worn.
It’s been shelved for far too long now and 2022 doesn’t feel soon enough for us to get to see it again. Jalen Hurts, Devonta Smith, and Darius Slay (especially in his new No. 2 uniform) will all look amazing in this one.
