When the Philadelphia Eagles look to improve to 2-0 against the Chicago Bears on ESPN's Monday Night Football, they will be wearing their white jerseys:

The team didn't announce whether they will wear their white or midnight green pants with the white jerseys. Normally in the early part of the season, the team tends to wear their white-on-white jersey/pant combination because it tends to be hotter in September than later in the season. However, with the Eagles set to wear their white jerseys, the Bears will presumably wear their navy blue jerseys and white pants, so perhaps the Eagles will counter that with midnight green pants. It probably isn't that important in the grand scheme of things.
The Eagles wore their midnight green jerseys in their Week one home victory over the Cleveland Browns. In Week three, the Eagles will return home to host the cross-state rival Pittsburgh Steelers, meaning they will dictate which jerseys they wear. Normally, the Eagles would wear their midnight green jerseys again because they won in them the first time and most people tend to think they are nicer than the white jerseys, but since the high is currently expected to be close to 80 degrees, it's possible that the team will choose to wear their white jerseys, probably forcing the Steelers to wear their black jerseys, in hopes of gaining a small advantage.
