It’s divisive, but you can’t leave it off. These 1930s-inspired unis were worn once in 2009 as a tribute to the Frankford Yellow Jackets, the Eagles' predecessor. They looked like IKEA employees—but it was a bold history play that fans still talk about.
Why it matters: Unique tribute to the city’s football roots. One-of-one weirdness earns it a spot.
Introduced in the mid-2000s and fully embraced in the 2010s, the black-on-black look became a Philly fan favorite. Aggressive, no-nonsense, and pure intimidation under the lights—this uniform was made for primetime.
Why it matters: Night-game essential. Clean, mean, and unforgettable.
