A couple weeks ago we brought you Tim Brulia's column on the 1941 Eagles' uniforms and today we'll be discussing some newer Eagles developments. |
1977 Philadelphia at New England |
1979 Philadelphia at Tampa Bay (NFC Divisional Playoff) |
1982 Washington at Philadelphia |
First of all, we discovered some discrepancies with the shoulder stripes in the 1974 through 1984 era uniforms. During this period, the Eagles' uniforms were very intricate and tricky. We already made one change to the pants' stripes on these uniforms two weeks ago, and now we've made another adjustment.
It seems the 1979 stripe pattern in the database was incorrect, and after looking at each year, we think we've got the pattern down now.

1979 Updated |

Some more Eagles questions were brought to our attention by reader Pat Henderson, who contacted us through Paul Lukas of Uni Watch.
He alerted us to the differing logos the Eagles have used on the word mark on the front of the current jersey set which the Eagles debuted in 1996. After some research we have determined that the Eagles word mark from 1996 through 2002 was a slanted 'Eagles' logo, while since 2003 they have used the newer Eagles logo.
1998 Eagles |
San Francisco at Philadelphia (MNF, 11/10/1997) |

What year exactly is this a "throwback" to? |
