Eagles uniforms: Ranking Philadelphia's six combinations from best to worst
In 2023, the Eagles unveiled the long-awaited Kelly Green throwback alternate uniforms, which are now worn at least twice a season. Philadelphia released an All-Black helmet in 2022 to help appease fans. Still, thanks to a ruling on the all-black alternate uniforms, the Kelly Green and five other looks will become a fixture in the uniform combinations at Lincoln Financial Field.
The NFL updated its uniform policy to allow teams to wear throwback or alternate uniforms up to four times per season.
The Eagles have been in business since 1933, when original team owner Bert Bell and the original head coach, Lud Wray, purchased the former Frankford Yellow Jackets, an American football team that was part of the NFL.
With training camp now just days away, we're ranking Philadelphia's six uniform combinations.
1. Kelly Green
Before 2023, the 2010 season was the last time Philadelphia wore Kelly Green jerseys (and helmets). Shortly after, the NFL implemented a rule that teams could only have one color as a safety precaution. That rule has been amended several times since then, and the Eagles and 31 other teams are allowed four alternate helmets. The Kelly Green look may never replace Midnight Green officially for home games, but it's clearly the best colorway.
2. White Jersey, black pants
Before unveiling the white jersey, black pants look against the Broncos in 2021; Philadelphia had usually gone white on white, white on green, or all black for uniform colorways. It's worn the least, and they did it again in 2023 against the Jets, but the white jersey top and black pants have to be utilized more.
3. All Black
Thanks to new rules, Philadelphia has an all-black helmet to go with their all-black uniforms.
4. Midnight Green Jersey, white pants
Philadelphia's standard home colorway of midnight green jerseys and white pants lands at No. 4 on the list.
5. White jerseys, green pants
The white jersey and midnight green pants look smooth but are overshadowed by more pristine colorways.
6. All Whites
The all-white look is smooth and would be enhanced by a whiteout at Lincoln Financial Field, providing a collegiate feel for a night game.

Cristopher Sánchez's ascension toward acehood has changed the calculus for Phillies
PHILADELPHIA — The Phillies, for almost two decades, had bare concrete walls that lined the hallway from the clubhouse to the dugout at Citizens Bank Park. The area underwent a makeover a few years ago with a floor-to-ceiling collage of various players that has changed over time. This season, a few steps from the dugout, there is Cristopher Sánchez. Advertisement It is a serious shot from a photoshoot, not a game. Sánchez is glaring at the camera like he's about to throw a changeup to a helpless hitter who knows the changeup is coming. He is oozing confidence. This is his final form, an astonishing transformation into one of the sport's best left-handed starters. Sánchez likes this photo. It is meaningful to him. Before every home start he's made this season, including Tuesday night's dominant complete-game victory, he puts his hand on the picture. In Sánchez's mind, there is a certain energy that comes from this image. 'It motivates me,' Sánchez said through a team interpreter. 'I try to make myself look like that picture and remember where I've come from. How far I've come.' Thirteen months to the day Sánchez signed a contract extension that might be one of the club's most consequential transactions in recent years, he tossed his third complete game in a 4-1 Phillies win. He struck out 12 Red Sox hitters. He induced 13 groundouts. He did not walk a batter. He lowered his ERA to 2.40 in 124 innings. Sanchie Day — Philadelphia Phillies (@Phillies) July 22, 2025 His evolution is now well-documented, but with every start, Sánchez is proving something greater. He is no longer some novelty. He is edging closer and closer to acehood, a status bestowed upon a certain few in Major League Baseball. His contract, one of the most team-friendly deals in the sport, will guarantee that Sánchez pitches his prime years at a discounted rate. The lefty was once on the fringes of a big-league roster; he secured generational wealth with the four-year extension. The financial security, Sánchez has said, freed his mind. He could relax. There was a runner on second base with two outs in the eighth inning Tuesday night. Rob Refsnyder, Boston's leadoff hitter and a lefty masher, came to bat. He had cracked a solo homer in the fourth inning, then struck out in the sixth. He took three balls from Sánchez to start the at-bat in the eighth. Advertisement Sánchez took a deep breath and fired a fastball for a called strike. He caught the edge of the zone with a changeup for strike two. Refsnyder fouled off another changeup. Then, Sánchez countered with yet another changeup, almost right down the middle. Refsnyder whiffed. Sánchez showed as much emotion on the mound as ever, followed by a standing ovation from the announced crowd of 43,409 packed into the ballpark. 'I mean, he got me,' Sánchez said. 'But I got him twice. So that's why I showed so much emotion.' He wasn't done. Manager Rob Thomson checked on Sánchez, who had thrown 96 pitches in eight innings. He was good to go. The fans greeted him with another ovation. 'Goosebumps,' Sánchez said. He needed 10 pitches for the final three outs. J.T. Realmuto flipped the ball to Sánchez, who snared it with his bare left hand. That ball sat atop his locker afterward. 'Electric,' Red Sox manager Alex Cora said. 'Electric. He's one of the best pitchers in the big leagues. His fastball is unique. His changeup is too. Today, he was on point. … That was one of the best I've seen in a while.' What. A. Night. — Philadelphia Phillies (@Phillies) July 23, 2025 The Phillies, like every team, have flaws. But no other team has Zack Wheeler and Sánchez atop its rotation. It is what separates the Phillies. It is why the front office feels compelled to trade top prospects by the end of this month. Sánchez, 28, has changed the calculus in every way. Aaron Nola, the man who was supposed to slot second in the rotation, has not pitched since May 14. The Phillies have missed him, but not as much as they would have in previous years. Sánchez is firmly the Game 2 starter in a hypothetical postseason series. His emergence will allow the Phillies to move one or two other starters into the bullpen come October. Advertisement And, from a roster-building standpoint, the Phillies can begin to expect top-of-the-rotation performance in future years at a fraction of the usual cost. Sánchez's four-year contract covers his pre-free agent years at $22.5 million. The best value, as far as the Phillies are concerned, are two team options at $14 million for 2029 and $15 million for 2030. Sánchez would pitch those seasons at ages 32 and 33, respectively. The Phillies were not looking to extend Sánchez in June 2024; the pitcher's agent, Gene Mato, approached the club with the idea. Sánchez wanted security. He received a $2 million signing bonus. The franchise could benefit from it in a massive way. 'Obviously, it's not the best contract in the world; it's not the worst one, either,' Sánchez told The Athletic last month. 'But I'm much calmer. I'm focusing more on baseball right now, so it's allowed me to stay focused on my career and give my best here.' There is something to the calmness Sánchez exudes on the mound. 'Nasty,' Phillies infielder Edmundo Sosa said. 'He's worked so hard. That's why.' Hitters have a difficult time discerning Sánchez's changeup, one of the best pitches in baseball, from his fastball. He has an unusual arm slot. He keeps consistent mechanics when throwing both pitches; his added strength over the last two years has allowed him to repeat his delivery more often. He is throwing harder; he topped at 97 mph in Tuesday's start. His slider has improved some in 2025. But there is no fooling anyone: Sánchez will lean on his changeup. He threw it 45 times against Boston. It was the best it felt all year. 'The changeup was nasty,' Boston catcher Carlos Narváez said. 'I faced him last year and I kind of knew my approach. But the changeup was really good today. The changeup down, then a little bit away at the end of the game. He was mixing all of his pitches.' Advertisement This influenced Thomson's decision to push Sánchez. He'll have an extra day of rest before his next start. But the Phillies like Sánchez facing hitters for a third or fourth time in a game, which is supposed to be a challenge for a starter who primarily throws only two pitches. 'The changeup gets better,' Thomson said. How? 'Arm speed,' the manager said. 'Just more reps he gets with it. He gets better command of it. There's a little bit more movement. He's one of the rare guys that third time through (the order) he's even better.' Last season, the Phillies noticed an oddity. Sánchez was far better pitching at home than he was on the road. It's one reason he started Game 2 of the National League Division Series against the Mets. They wondered about the mound here, maybe accentuating his unique release point. Maybe it was the batter's eye. Maybe it was Sánchez's routine, going straight from the bullpen mound to the top of the first inning. Whatever it was, Sánchez adjusted. He is better on the road (2.17 ERA in 11 starts) than at home (2.65 ERA in nine starts) this season. It is just another way Sánchez has evolved. 'The work that we've been doing from the offseason is working,' Sánchez said. 'It's something that I take pride in.' He's starting to dream bigger than that man in the photo.

Texas A&M's 'old' offensive line should be the Aggies' offensive catalyst in 2025
Texas A&M's 2025 offensive line is poised to be one of the best units in the country, thanks to its experience and NFL-level talent, which will provide starting quarterback Marcel Reed and the Aggie running game a significant boost compared to last season's inconsistent performance. Throughout the offseason, head coach Mike Elko continued to praise his top seven returning offensive linemen, believing that winning in the trenches is the key to unlocking Texas A&M's offense. On Monday, during his sixth Coach's Night of the summer in San Antonio, Elko continued to praise the group, noting that, during his second-to-last season as Texas A&M's defensive coordinator before becoming Duke's head coach, the Aggies' 2025 O-line is the most experienced unit since A&M's memorable 2020 season, which included an Orange Bowl victory over North Carolina. "It's great to bring back all seven of our top offensive lineman. The last time we were this old at that position, we ended our season playing in the Orange Bowl. It's a really strong starting point to have a group like that." On paper, this is how the starting five offensive line could look when the Aggies open the 2025 season vs. UTSA: At center, Nabou is coming off another injury-riddled season and will contend with veteran Koli Faaiu for the starting job. Notable guard depth includes redshirt freshmen Ashton Funk and Blake Ivy, while five-star freshman tackle Lamont Rogers might be too talented to keep off the field. Another battle is at right tackle, as senior Reuben Fatheree is back for a final season, but will likely play behind Dametrious Crownover. Both are excellent pass protectors, so it will be tough to deny a close to equal snap count.
