In response to recent rumors and claims regarding a potential ban on wearing green jerseys at the Eagles game in Brazil, the NFL has stated that there will be no restrictions on fans wearing their beloved Eagles gear. The clarification came from NFL spokesperson Michael Signora, who dismissed the allegations made by Green Bay Packers' Josh Jacobs.

The controversy surrounding the green jersey ban began when the Eagles were announced as one of the teams participating in the NFL's inaugural game in Brazil. There were concerns that wearing green would not be allowed due to the fierce soccer rivalry between São Paulo's Corinthians and Palmeiras teams. However, Signora assured supporters that discussions pertaining to the color green are strictly associated with soccer and will have no impact on the NFL game.

To further dispel the rumors, Signora pointed out that wearing green inside the Corinthians Arena is not unprecedented. Previously, the stadium hosted the opening ceremony of the 2014 World Cup, where Brazil's national team fans were seen donning green attire alongside the traditional yellow jerseys. The NFL spokesperson emphasized that the soccer-related restrictions on green jerseys do not extend to the NFL event.

Addressing security concerns mentioned by Jacobs, Signora refuted claims that players will be restricted to the hotel or travel in armored vehicles. He stated categorically, "It's not true." The NFL has not outlined any special security measures beyond the standard protocols typically employed for international games.

In response to the confusion caused by the speculation, Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown took to social media to express his frustration. However, his post was quickly deleted. Meanwhile, the Brazilian Eagles community on social media assured fans that there would be no issues regarding wearing green jerseys, emphasizing that the event would be treated with the utmost respect and security.

While the decision on which jerseys the Eagles and their opponents, the Packers, will wear on the field is yet to be announced, it is important to note that as the home team, the Eagles have the option to choose between their traditional green or black jerseys.

As football fans gear up for the highly anticipated NFL game in Brazil, they can rest assured that there will be no ban on wearing green jerseys. The NFL's clarification, along with the reassurance from the Brazilian Eagles community, should put any concerns to rest and allow fans to proudly support their team in their preferred colors.
