The Eagles are the designated home team for Super Bowl LIX, so they will get the chance to decide what uniforms they want to wear against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Before anyone suggests, teams are not allowed to wear alternate uniforms during the postseason by NFL rule. So the Kelly Green throwbacks and black alternates are not eligible to be worn.
The Eagles will be deciding between wearing their Midnight Green or white tops, and then also what color pants to pair with that jersey. Since the Midnight Green Era began in 1996, the Eagles have played in three Super Bowls. As Anthony DiBona of Philly Sports Network pointed out, the Eagles have worn Midnight Green in each of those three games. That leads you to believe they'll choose the Midnight Green threads, which they've worn for each of their three postseason wins this year:

However, perhaps you could make a case for switching things up. The Eagles are 1-2 in those three Super Bowl appearances, including a loss to the Chiefs just two years ago in Super Bowl LVII. The Eagles could choose to wear their white tops with either the matching white pants or Midnight Green pants, which would leave the Chiefs to wear their red jerseys. For what it's worth, the Chiefs are 2-1 in the Super Bowl when wearing their red jerseys during the Patrick Mahomes/Andy Reid Era. They are 1-0 in the white tops, with the only time they wore them coming in the first matchup with the Eagles.
Does any of this matter? Perhaps not, although since On Pattison launched this past September, the highest-rated article on the site has been the Eagles uniform schedule tracker. So we'll continue to keep you updated on all the latest Philadelphia sports aesthetics.
