HazletonEagle Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 If RBs keep being devalued, maybe you end up seeing a transition in the future where no one is a true RB (because everyone refuses to play the position), and you just have a bunch of WRs out there who can excel at carrying the ball like Cordarrell Patterson, and Deebo Samuel. Maybe soon to be Laviska Shenault... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nike kind of did that with the nba city edition jerseys. A lot of teams don’t have authentics but only swingman/replica. Some teams decided to sell both. Sixers for a couple years only sold swingman online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a brighter version of the Kelly green like we used in the Vick era. They seem to be talking about going back to the older, darker color this time. Additionally, and I think the bigger hint that its not it, is that it doesnt use the new work mark. I suspect that will be appearing under the NFL logo on the real ones once they are released.

Main thing that tipped me off is that the 2010 version was not a throwback, but simply an alternate Jersey in Kelly green. It had no throwback logos on it at all. The helmet was, but the jersey was just a generic KG Jersey with white numbers on it. This year’s announcement was also simply referred to as jerseys with the "classic Kelly green,” making the old bird logo on the sleeve suspicious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the color better on the 2010 version but those Reeboks didn't have the old Eagle logo on the shoulder so that's nice. How the helmets will look is the last crucial piece and then pants to a lesser extent. Wouldn't make sense to me for Nike to release some merchandise only kelly green throwback the same summer they are releasing the long awaited kelly green alts.

Yea, but the thing is, Nike hasn't been selling any Hurts 90s throwback from what I'm aware of. Sure, you can buy former Eagles throwbacks but they don't sell current players. Am I wrong on that? Can anyone find an example of Nike actually having current players for sale in the 90s jersey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't picked the captains for this season yet. Unless you're suggesting that the captain voting process is facetious. I hear that Britain Covey is the front runner right now for lead dawg.

Or Don Smolenski has planted a fake jersey to the media to create hype and anticipation for the real jersey and get people talking about it in the leadup.

A starter that can't pitch the first inning, so you start him in inning 2. The "opener" tonight was a lefty and he faced Schwarber and Harper, then they pulled him after 14 pitches. He wasn't in trouble, he wasn't fatigued, but they pulled him because that was the plan all along. Just overmanaging foolishly with the pitchers, because managers don't actually have to think about when to pinch hit for a pitcher anymore with the DH for everyone. Long gone are the days of just handing the ball to a guy every 5th day and letting him go to work. Now its all analytics, load management, maximum effort for 5+ innings. No hitters are so rare now because these pitchers lose the ability to pitch more than 6+ innings. And they don't even need to get pulled to extend rallies anymore. Sad.

Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 39 minutes ago, DaEagles4Life said: Tbh i am still on the budda baker trade if they can get him for a reason price from the cardinals. Baker wants and likely needs a new contract as he has little guaranteed money on his deal this and next year. So you were likely going to give him an extension when he comes and you can make it a lower cap number doing it and andding avoidable years. Plus he’s only 27 years old. So you have an all pro caliber safety in his prime and if Sydney brown develops over the next two years into what you think then safety tandem is set for at least the next 5 years. baker is also a really respected guy in the locker room and good leader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't going to toss the current eagles logo on the kelly green this season. At least I hope they wouldn't. Current Eagles logo wouldn't fit at all. The great 2010 Kelly Green alt by Reebok in retrospect was actually kind of lazy. No logo on the shoulders just the Reebok symbol. But they killed it on the color and whoever handled the helmet design also nailed it. to say it won't be potential throwback logo with Nike because Reebok went no logo at all but their own logo instead just doesn't tell the story to come. This is likely the alt jersey from Nike. Probably intentionally released like this. Let's wait to see how it looks with the helmet and jersey.

RememberTheKoy Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Something I've been working threw these past few weekends is getting all in and settled in on all sorts of what you know you know it is what you know at an hour that is now and then I rematch the NFL YouTube game recaps week1 thru Super Bowl. Onto the Texans game tonight. String of 3 game **** game stretch. But I recall a blow for bow sort of game and then in the second half they took over. Tua is my MVP favorite for 2023. Easy big money right now. I still threw some on Jalen but Tua, watch out. Epsecially now before they add Cook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FranklinFldEBUpper Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 I can’t take anyone seriously when they assert that the green the Eagles used in 2010 was actually good. Yeah, they were green. No doubt about that. But it wasn’t the correct green for the Philadelphia Eagles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
