The Philadelphia Eagles were strong on their stance to add alternate helmets at the NFL Owners Meetings last season, but the franchise decided not to pursue the matter this time around. In the announced list of the NFL new rules, bylaws and resolution proposals, the Eagles did not propose to amend the league's on-field policy to allow clubs to have an alternate helmet in a color to match their third uniform.

Last year, the Eagles proposal made headlines across the NFL, but the team withdrew the proposal after they learned they wouldn't get enough votes to pass the resolution. Philadelphia would have needed 24 of the 32 owners to vote in favor of the proposal for the rule to be changed.

Currently, the NFL has a one-shell rule, which limits teams from wearing more than one helmet set during the course of the season. The Eagles have not been able to wear their famous "Kelly Green" throwbacks due to the one-shell rule. If the rule is changed, it seems the "Kelly Green" throwbacks will make their way back to Philadelphia.

Eagles chairman and CEO Jeffrey Lurie was responsible for the team switching to "Midnight Green" uniforms in 1996, only bringing back the "Kelly Green" uniforms once in 2010. Lurie remains committed to bringing back the Eagles "Kelly Green" uniforms at some point, potentially as part of the NFL's "Color Rush" promotion in 2018.

"We're working with the league to try to get a second helmet," Lurie said back in September. "We don't really think the midnight green helmet with the Kelly Green uniform is what we want and what the fans really want. I don't think it matches very well.

"We're trying to get it where they will let us use a Kelly Green helmet. We go through so many helmets in a given game. Some players go through, I don't know, seven or eight helmets at times in a season for a player, maybe more? So can't we just paint it that way and move it around?

"That's what's holding us back, otherwise we would've had it this year. I would love it, love it to be able to bring it back."

The Eagles are looking to bring back 'Kelly Green' uniforms as an alternate. The 'bicentennial' design worn in the late 70s and early 80s could be a throwback.

Lurie admitted he wants a "test run" with a "Kelly Green" alternate before making a permanent change. The Tennessee Titans did this with their light blue alternate uniform (which debuted in 2003) before making it their primary combination in 2008. Tennesse went back to their navy blue jerseys as their primary combination in 2017 and have a new uniform planned in 2018.

Lurie continues to be adamant about reenergizing the fan base, which started with the selection of Carson Wentz as the team's franchise quarterback and culminated with the Eagles' first Super Bowl title. Adding "Kelly Green" would just be the icing on the cake for many longtime Eagles fans.
