Predicting which game the Eagles will wear their alternate Kelly Green uniforms
We've known the opponents since late January, and now we know the dates and times for all 17 Philadelphia Eagles regular-season games.
Philadelphia announced its 2025 schedule on Wednesday night. They will face the gauntlet of juggernauts in the NFC North and AFC West and division winners in the NFC West, AFC East, and NFC South.

One key aspect of the schedule release is predicting wins and losses, and when the team will wear alternate all-black or Kelly Green uniforms.
Philadelphia has one of the top uniform combinations in the NFL, and if DeVonta Smith had his way, the Midnight Green home jersey would become an alternate or throwback. Fans and Eagles players have clamored for a jersey switch, and while the Kelly Green isn't likely to become a permanent norm, it could be worn more often.
Back in March, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reported that the NFL is updating its uniform policy to allow teams to wear throwback or alternate uniforms up to four times per season. Philadelphia last regularly wore Kelly Green jerseys (and helmets) in the 2010 season. Shortly after, the NFL implemented a rule requiring teams to have only one color as a safety precaution.
The Eagles will now have Kelly Green and the all black helmet and uniform combinations going forward.

With that news and the schedule complete, we're predicting when Philly will wear Kelly Green throwbacks in games.
Week 1: Thursday, September 4: Home vs. Dallas Cowboys at 8:20 PM (NBC^)
The most in-demand game on the 2025 NFL schedule, the Eagles will raise a Super Bowl banner and kickoff the season at home against the Dallas Cowboys. A throwback feel is appropriate.
Week 8: Sunday, October 26: Home vs. New York Giants at 1 PM+ (FOX)
The Giants have retooled, added Russell Wilson at quarterback, and Abdul Carter in the NFL draft. This is the second of two meetings, and throwback jerseys for both teams are appropriate.
Week 15: Sunday, December 14: Home vs. Las Vegas Raiders at 1 PM+ (FOX)
Ashton Jeanty, Geno Smith, and Chip Kelly will lead a retooled Raider offense into Lincoln Financial Field.

New York Liberty Remain Undefeated With Historic Win Against Washington Mystics
New York Liberty Remain Undefeated With Historic Win Against Washington Mystics originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The defending WNBA champion, New York Liberty continue to pace the league. After taking down the Washington Mystics 86-78 on Thursday night, the Liberty remain undefeated. They now sit at 8-0 on the season, tied for the best record in the WNBA with the Minnesota Lynx. Advertisement The Liberty seek to become just the fourth team in WNBA history to win back-to-back championships. While their roster consists of multiple MVP candidates, they win with a balanced attack. Their franchise's recent accomplishments also rival the best New York has to offer in the sports world. With a city that dons multiple professional teams in nearly every sport, the Liberty are the most recent to win a championship. As deep as New York sports history runs, the Liberty stand as the only team to hoist a championship trophy in more than a decade. The New York Giants are a distant second, last winning a Super Bowl in 2012. With that in mind, the Liberty's 8-0 start to this season is not only impressive, it's down right historic. As per @statmuse on X, the Liberty are the first professional New York basketball team to start a season 8-0. In the history of professional basketball (NBA, ABA, and WNBA), no team has ever gotten off to a start like the Liberty. Advertisement Statistically speaking, the Liberty are the best team in the WNBA this season on both sides of the ball. The Liberty's offense leads the league in points per game (91.1). Their defense leads the league in points allowed (72.1). And they also lead the league in field goal percentage (48.6) as well as blocks per game (5.7).

Mandatory Credit: Wendell Cruz-Imagn Images The Liberty's chance to remain undefeated and move to 9-0 comes on Tuesday when they take on Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky. Tip-off is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. EDT on ESPN.

Former NFL stars Vick, Jackson to battle in Philly as HBCU coaches
Former Philadelphia Eagles teammates Michael Vick and DeSean Jackson will square off as opposing coaches in 2025 -- and they'll do so at the home they used to share. Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference rivals Norfolk State and Delaware State will meet on Thursday, Oct. 30, at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. The Eagles announced the news Thursday featuring statements from Vick and Jackson, who are entering their first years as head coaches at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Vick is from the Norfolk, Va., area and took over Norfolk State in December. Jackson was hired by Delaware State soon after. It is the first head coaching position for both men, who played together for the Eagles from 2009-13. 'This is a tremendous opportunity for our student-athletes to play in a world-class venue on a world-class stage,' Vick said in a statement. 'Coach Jackson and I made so many unforgettable memories together at Lincoln Financial Field -- this stadium holds special meaning in my NFL career. I am thrilled to be a part of this historic moment and want to thank the Philadelphia Eagles, Norfolk State and Delaware State for their collaboration to make this happen.' 'I came to Delaware State University to start a new phase of my career with a unique institution that cares about its students and is helping to transform their futures. I know Coach Vick feels the same way at Norfolk,' Jackson said. 'A part of that transformation is opening our students and scholar athletes up to a whole new set of experiences at the highest level. For our teams to be playing in Philly, at the Linc, on the field Coach Vick and I called home for many years will be special for our players, our coaching staffs, our alumni and fans, and for HBCU culture around the country.' Vick spent five of his 13 NFL seasons with the Eagles and made 42 starts at quarterback for the team. He was a Pro Bowl selection in 2010 and overlapped all five years with Jackson, who was in the prime of his career and made the Pro Bowl in 2009, 2010 and 2013.

The Los Angeles Chargers will be back in San Diego for two training camp practices this summer, the team announced Thursday. The Chargers will hold the pair of practices at Torero Stadium on the University of San Diego's campus on July 22-23. Before moving to Los Angeles in 2017, the Chargers spent 56 years in San Diego, beginning in the AFL in 1961. This tenure included an AFL championship in 1963, a Super Bowl appearance in the 1994-95 season and 11 playoff wins. The team played in Los Angeles for its inaugural season in 1960. Owner Dean Spanos and the city of San Diego failed to reach an agreement on a new stadium in the city, causing Spanos to uproot the franchise and move north. --Field Level Media Field Level Media 2025 - All Rights Reserved
