Eagles wear Kelly Green Week 9

The Philadelphia Eagles said Wednesday they will bring back their Kelly Green throwback uniforms for a Week 9 home game against the New York Giants, adding a marquee uniform reveal to an NFC East matchup later this season. The team announced the plan on its official website and social media accounts on September 2. The game is scheduled for Sunday, November 8, 2026, at 1 p.m. at Lincoln Financial Field. Anthony DiBona, an Eagles writer and digital creator, also highlighted the reveal on X. ### Which game is getting the Kelly Green treatment? Week 9 is the designated Kelly Green game, and the opponent is the New York Giants, according to the Eagles’ official announcement. The club said the throwback look will be worn for the division rivalry at Lincoln Financial Field on November 8. (philadelphiaeagles.com) The Eagles’ post also specified kickoff time. The game is set for 1 p.m. on a Sunday, placing the uniform reveal in a daytime home window the franchise has often used for the alternate look. That timing had been anticipated in offseason schedule speculation from Eagles Wire before the team made it official. (philadelphiaeagles.com) ### Was the original date in circulation wrong? November 8, 2026, is the date listed in the Eagles’ official announcement, not November 1. The team’s website says the Kelly Green game will be played in Week 9 on Sunday, November 8, at 1 p.m. Anthony DiBona’s social-media post amplified the reveal, but the official team site provides the clearest schedule details. (philadelphiaeagles.com) For a schedule-specific item like this, the club announcement is the controlling source. ### What exactly will both teams wear? The Eagles said they will wear their throwback Kelly Green uniform for the game. (philadelphiaeagles.com) The Giants, the team added, will “return the favor” by wearing their Vintage Color Rush uniform with white jerseys and white pants. That sets up a coordinated retro presentation rather than a one-sided alternate-uniform game. (philadelphiaeagles.com) Bleacher Report, citing the team announcement, described it as a “historic uniforms” matchup between division rivals. ### Why does Kelly Green keep getting singled out? (philadelphiaeagles.com) Kelly Green is the franchise’s throwback color and has become one of the Eagles’ most marketable alternate looks since its return. The team maintains a dedicated Kelly Green page and a large merchandise section built around the colorway. The modern relaunch began with the Eagles’ 2023 return to Kelly Green after years of fan demand. (bleacherreport.com) In a team-produced account of that rollout, the club said Nike had to develop a custom version of the color for the uniform program. ### How much advance signaling was there before Wednesday’s announcement? (philadelphiaeagles.com) May 15 speculation from Eagles Wire pointed to the Giants home game in Week 9 as a likely Kelly Green spot, citing the Eagles’ pattern of using the look in daytime divisional home games. Wednesday’s announcement matched that projection. (philadelphiaeagles.com) September 2 made it official. The Eagles’ announcement fixed the date, opponent and kickoff time, and DiBona’s post helped spread the reveal across the team’s online audience the same morning. ### What comes next for fans tracking the uniform game? November 8 is the next key date.
