In a refreshing move towards nostalgia, Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith has expressed his desire for the team to make their throwback Kelly Green uniforms their new primary home attire. The Eagles plan to sport the vintage ensemble for their highly anticipated Sunday night clash against the Miami Dolphins.

The last time the Eagles donned the Kelly Green uniforms was way back in week one of the 2010 season. Fans and players alike have been eagerly anticipating their return, with many noting that the throwbacks surpass the team's current primary uniforms in terms of aesthetics.

Smith's proclamation has garnered a chorus of agreement from supporters, who also yearn for the resurrection of the classic look. As the Eagles prepare to showcase the old-school charm against the Dolphins, there is a collective hope that this reversion to tradition will bring fortune on the field.

The significance of September 12, 2010, looms large in the minds of Philadelphia faithful as it marks the last time the Eagles wore the Kelly Green uniforms, resulting in a disappointing 27-20 defeat at the hands of the Green Bay Packers. The team aims to rewrite that outcome and create a more memorable experience for fans and players alike.

Tonight's game against the Dolphins will be broadcast nationally on NBC and Peacock, with coverage set to commence at 7:00 p.m. ET as part of the popular "Football Night in America" program. This primetime showdown offers the Eagles the perfect platform to exhibit their classic garb and potentially bring a touch of old-school magic back to Philadelphia.

As the team takes the field in their beloved throwback uniforms once more, the hope for many is that it helps pave the way for a permanent home look that pays homage to the rich history and traditions of the Philadelphia Eagles. Perhaps, with the support of players like DeVonta Smith, the Kelly Green uniforms will regain their prominence and reclaim their position as the team's primary identity.
