Predicting Eagles “Uni-Swag” in 2020 Games
Official dates, times, and locations have been revealed for the Eagles 2020 season. There is still one thing that remains to be seen…
What color jerseys will the Eagles wear during each game of the 2020 season?
During the season, fans always anticipate the type of game day attire the Eagles will be wearing that respective week. Eagles Twitter always does a great job of letting us know what our game day swag will be looking like for our upcoming matchup.
Today we will make some educated guesses on what uniform combos we will go with throughout the year.
“Away Uniform”: White Jerseys//White Pants
Week 1 @ Washington Redskins
For consecutive seasons the Eagles face the Redskins for the first game of the season. Unlike last year, the Birds will hit the road to take on their division rivals.
The last time Philly opened up a season on Washington’s field, the Eagles went on to the Super Bowl.
We are desperately hoping history repeats itself here, so we will stick with the all-white threads the team wore back in 2017.
The Eagles should look to keep the “all-white road warrior” uniform combo for the following opponents…
- Week 4 @ San Francisco 49ers (8:20 p.m)
- Week 5 @ Pittsburg Steelers (1:00 p.m)
- Week 11 @ Cleveland Browns (1:00 p.m)
- Week 13 @ Green Bay Packers (4:25 p.m)
“Away Option”: White Jersey//Green Pants
Although this combination used to be the primary “away” uniform for the Birds, these threads seem to have fallen out of favor with the organization. After wearing green pants only once in 2017 (12/17 @ NYG), the team did not wear them at all during the 2018 season.
The green pants made a comeback on two separate occasions in 2019, during the Eagles final two road games.
For tradition’s sake, expect the Eagles to switch to green pants when they travel to Met Life Stadium Week 10. It would be nice to see things switch things up a little after their BYE.
There are so many memories of the Birds and the G-men battling it out in the old (and new) Meadowlands throughout the years.
It’s almost a rarity to see them travel to NY in all-white, although they did during Chip Kelly’s first season back in 2013.
Since the Birds brought back the green bottoms during the latter part of 2019, this prediction expects them to resurface for a second time in 2020 on the road Week 15 against the Arizona Cardinals.
There could easily be a flip-flop from white to green pants when the Eagles travel to Lambeau Field as well, considering the team wore all-white last year en route to their Thursday night victory.
The opportunity to put the Eagles in their away alternates against NYG was too tough to pass, especially thinking of their history in them…
“Home Uniform”: Green Jersey//White Pants
The Midnight green jersey is the most modern representation of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Since 1996, these uniforms have been a staple of the Eagles organization. The team also won their first Super Bowl sporting the memorable Midnight green.
However, throughout Eagles’ history, the team has a trend of rocking their white tops during their home openers.
This has not been the case during the Doug Pederson era.
Since Pederson took the reigns as Eagles head coach, the franchise has never worn white jerseys during a regular-season home game. Expect to see the midnight green trend continue during these home stands at Lincoln Financial Field.
- Week 2 vs L.A Rams (1:00)
- Week 3 vs Cincinnati Bengals (1:00)
- Week 6 vs Baltimore Ravens (1:00)
- Week 7 vs New York Giants (8:20)
- Week 14 vs New Orleans Saints (4:25)
- Week 17 vs Washington Redskins (1:00)
The midnight green tops with white pants are such a timeless look, and debatably Top 10 uniform in the game today.
“Alternate Uniform”: Black Jersey//Black Pants
When this concept was originally introduced in 2003, the bottoms rotated between white and green pants, before adapting to the all-black look in 2014.
Since the team made the switch, they have only worn black bottoms.
Although the Birds did once wear Blacktops on the road against New England in a preseason game, the black jerseys are usually brought out at home in the Linc.
The Eagles have a history of dawning all-black during prime-time matchups… Since the Birds will have to wear the green tops Week 16 @ Dallas, we will have them rock the all-black combo when they host Dallas on Sunday Night Football Week 8.
Despite having a perfect 4-0 record against the Giants in all-black, the Birds have yet to beat the Cowboys in this look, as they are 0-1. Philadelphia wore their alternate uniforms the last time they hosted Dallas on Sunday Night Football, which unfortunately resulted in a prime-time loss.
History will not repeat itself this time around!
Speaking of redemption, this prediction also foresees Philadelphia bringing back the all-black look when the Seattle Seahawks visit during a Week 12 MNF matchup.
Wouldn’t it be fun to host these two games during a “Blackout” atmosphere at the Linc?
