National reaction to Eagles’ fans camping out for the new Kelly Green jerseys
After weeks of teasing fans and releasing memes, the Eagles officially unveiled their new Kelly Green alternate uniforms.
Philadelphia’s social media team released a quick teaser video, and they’ll be home to throwback uniforms worn twice against AFC East opponents.
After announcing that jerseys would go on sale Monday at 9:00 AM, some fans started camping out in three locations to snag the 80s version of Eagles Glory.
Here’s the national reaction to the frenzy.

For those asking about sizing between Kelly Green and the usual midnight green:
Only difference to me is the longer sleeves on the midnight green. Otherwise they seem the same. #Eagles pic.twitter.com/RzkEZzb5cS

“They need to be our permanent. We can wear the black as an alternate. But the Kelly Green needs to be the main."
