This database is wonderful. Remarkable amount of work and research - and accuracy. I'm puzzled why the Eagles' uniforms of 1974 through 1984 are shown as a darker green. They were kelly green those years, same as before, and same until 1996.
Respectfully submitted.

They were definitely darker than the 1985-95 kellys.

Green is a tough color for cameras. Half the time the midnight green looks blue on camera. I was there - it was Kelly green. Check the throwbacks with Mitchell & Hess. Or check with the Eagles.

you can't always assume throwbacks are 100% correct
