With each passing day it seems like vintage Birds gear gets more and more popular! So the question is: Where to shop for your throwback Eagles gear?

Birds fans have become attached to the “new” colors as some still continue to say. The Midnight Green era of the Eagles came with some pushback in 1996.

The switch saw an ushering in of a new uniform and what is arguably the most successful span of Eagles football, but fans still love the classic Kelly Green color scheme.

Luckily for those fans the NFL is switching certain rules for the 2023-2024 season allowing for the Birds to rotate back in a throwback uniform for a few games.

According to CBS Sports “The uniforms will debut in 2023, when the Eagles have a Kelly green alternate helmet to match the jersey. The uniforms will debut in 2023, when the Eagles have a Kelly green alternate helmet to match the jersey.”

Fans still show up to tailgates, parties, even work proudly rocking the Kelly Green vintage feeling clothing.

I personally love throwback gear, but love supporting local businesses while doing so.

So here are some local businesses where you can grab some throwback Eagles gear as the Birds make another run to the big game:
