That's weird. I can't imagine it's an Eagle's jersey considering it's SO far away from their current colors.

Still, I actually like the really loud tacky colors lol

It's probably his jersey from some local kids charity game he played in :)

EDIT: I'll be damned, it's real! Awesome! :)

LOL!

Actually I am going to address is if I may Crisper...

The jersey you are seeing is what was originally the ones worn by the Frankford Yellow Jackets (the previous form of the Eagles) from 1924-1932. In 1933, the team turned into the Eagles and they kept the same jersey as the Yellow Jackets wore.

It's been 75 years since the buyout, and it's just a marketing ploy by the Eagles to make money off of the deal.

I too think they are awful looking, definately not one I am going to be buying to help them out.

of course, that rivals the storm jerseys the Cards are selling.

One might surmise that the whole purpose of the Philly Cheese Steak sandwich is to provide a measure of solidity to the expurgation that might occur at Eagles games when viewing such colors.

:wink:

I was just thinking of Ripper when I saw that! I said "someones got some splaining to do!!!"

Whew, I wouldn't buy those even if I was an eagle fan.

It's a McNabb jersey...obviously the jersey's that way because he's yellow. :)

Sad thing is they will be wearing them on 9-23 versus the Lions.

Perhaps the goal is to beat the Lions to hysteria?

I have no idea. I could understand if they used them against a good team, but I always thought the Lions would already be busy laughing at themselves. Defense mechanism, y'know?

Steelers...

Those aren't as a bad as ours: at least Pittsburgh retains relative colors to there newer unis.

Eagles jersey makes Ripper lose brain feed.
