Best reactions as first photos of Philadelphia Eagles black helmet are released
Well, we knew it was coming. Still, any previous knowledge of the Philadelphia Eagles‘ plans to introduce a black helmet for their all-black color rush jerseys failed to prepare us for the day that they arrived and we actually see them.
The Birds unveiled their new shell both on social media and with a slideshow on their official team site. Coming up with the appropriate superlatives to describe Philly’s new black helmet is a difficult position to be in. How about we just quote the late, great Scott Hall a.k.a. Razor Ramon. They’re “too sweet”.
Don’t take our word for it! Take a look for yourselves.

Yes, this is a much better feeling than the one that came with the new wordmark. Every time we look at that, we keep thinking about the included text options on Microsoft Word.

If you think the black helmets look good…wait until they unveil Kelly Green. Might throw a Kelly Green Party when they release those things.

We can’t wait to see those kelly green digs a year from now, but this will do in the meantime. Then again, perhaps someone should get on the phone with league offices.
Forget one extra shell design. It would be cool if the NFL would allow each franchise the right to don unlimited helmet designs. What was the point of joining forces with Nike if they weren’t going to go all out?

Think about it! Eagles combat jerseys… The Birds could rock out with the midnight green, kelly green, and black designs. We don’t necessarily need Oregon levels of possible jersey combinations, but those black helmets really got the imagination working.
Games played in the all-black design will be announced at a later date.
