Jeffrey Lurie: 'I Also Want The Kelly Green' Uniforms

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Eagles fans have been pushing for the team to bring back the Kelly green uniforms for years now.

Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie confirmed on Tuesday evening at the league meetings in Arizona, that he would love to bring back the Kelly green as an alternate jersey.

"I would love to see it," Lurie said. "I love the midnight green, I think it's great, but I also want the Kelly green. I'd love for us to have both and some games have one and some games have the other. I think that would be more fun."

Lurie also did not rule out the possibility of bringing back the Kelly green uni's full time.

Lurie was asked whether he'd consider bringing Kelly green back full time. Said he wants a trial run first via alternate jerseys.

The NFL prohibits teams from wearing alternate helmets, so if the Eagles chose to wear Kelly green jerseys, they would have to wear them with midnight green helmets -- an awkward look.

The Eagles proposed a rule that would allow teams to wear an alternate helmet, but eventually withdrew that proposal. Lurie says the competition committee informed the Eagles that would not pass.

Lurie hopes it will pass by next March.

For now, these fans are putting the team's performance ahead of its apparel.

"Don't matter what they wear, it matters about the players and how they play," said one fan.

"You can be wearing zebra stripes, as long as you bring back a trophy that's all that really matters," added another.

"I'd personally rather have kelly green, its more unique," said one Eagles fan.

The last time the Eagles wore their Kelly greens was in 2010 against the Green Bay Packers.
