Back in Black

August 29, 2012


In an interesting change of heart, the Philadelphia Eagles announced that they would forgo using the throwback look for their alternative uniforms, but will instead revert to black jerseys.  The Eagles first introduced the black alternatives in 2003 when the common trend was to add black jerseys into a team’s repertoire. 

A number of NFL and MLB teams stuck with alternative black jerseys for many years and only recently have begun to subvert them with different, sometimes retro, jerseys. 

The Eagles will wear the new, but not so new, black jerseys on October 28th, just before Halloween, at home against the Atlanta Falcons. 

Authentic Store Buzz: With the NFL season coming so soon, Pro League Authentics has all the gear you need to support your team.  NIKE NFL jerseys and Eagles Junk Food t-shirts are in store now. Also, remember to check out any MLB jersey from PLA.  Each one is 25% off if you use the promo code "MLB" when checking out.


Authentically Speaking Trivia:  Which Russian goalie's career ending face injuries led to a change in standards and a switch from fiberglass molded goalie masks to helmet/cage type masks?

Answer to come tomorrow.  

Tuesday's Answer: Mike Nolan of the San Francisco 49ers.  He asked permission of the NFL to wear a suite in memory of his father, a former NFL coach.  Nolan was allowed to wear the classy garb, but due to contracts with Reebok he was forced to wear a suit designed by the athletic apparel company.  

A Reminder: For more news about Pro League Authentics and thoughts on the world of sports uniforms, Like our Facebook page, converse with us @PLAphilly, and visit our YouTube page.
