The Eagles become the tenth eleventh NFL team to introduce an alternate helmet to their uniform repertoire for the 2022-23 season. The addition of the new helmet was announced earlier this year shortly after the NFL lifted their “one-shell” rule. The nearly decade-old rule limited NFL teams to their primary helmet due to “safety concerns.”
The Eagles black lid will feature their standard double wing logo on a black shell. It’s nothing fancy. The big moment in the Birds’ uniform universe will come next season when the popular Kelly green uniforms return to the rotation.
