The Philadelphia Eagles’ Kelly Green uniforms and the Los Angeles Chargers’ Super Chargers look will both appear in Week 9, giving the NFL two throwback designs on the same slate, according to ESPN. The Eagles will wear the green set, while the Chargers will don their all-navy alternates in their game against the Houston Texans.
Both uniforms draw on specific eras of franchise history rather than serving as simple color swaps. The Chargers’ look nods to their 1990s identity, and the Eagles’ green scheme has become a recurring feature of Philadelphia’s uniform rotation since its return a few seasons ago.
Chargers Bring Back The Super Chargers Look
Los Angeles will wear its Super Chargers uniforms, an all-navy design the team first unveiled in 2025 and describes as a modern throwback, according to ESPN. The jersey mixes current-style white numbers with an old-school outline and gold trim, a blend meant to connect past and present eras of the franchise.
The navy pants carry a bolt down the side, echoing the bolt striping that also appears on the shoulders and helmet. “Super Chargers” is stitched in white across the neckline, a direct callback to the branding Los Angeles used decades ago.
The design pulls from uniforms worn in the 1990s and early 2000s, a stretch that included the franchise’s only Super Bowl appearance, a loss in Super Bowl XXIX, along with four AFC West division titles, according to ESPN. The throwback ties the current roster to that period of sustained success in the division.
Eagles’ Kelly Green Returns For Another Week
Philadelphia will again wear its Kelly Green uniforms, a combination the franchise reintroduced in 2023 after years of its players and fans pushing for a return to the color, according to ESPN. The look has since become a regular part of the Eagles’ alternate rotation rather than a one-time novelty.
Philadelphia’s green throwback adds another layer to a Week 9 slate built around retro style. The Eagles’ opponent this week, the New York Giants, will wear a Vintage White uniform of their own, part of what ESPN described as a growing trend of teams leaning into throwback designs across the league.
Why The Timing Matters
Uniform rollouts like these are set well in advance by teams and the league, so neither choice is tied to recent results. The Eagles have dealt with a difficult stretch of play, documented in Total Apex Sports’ recap of their loss to the Commanders and their blowout defeat covered in the Cowboys-Eagles 38-21 recap. Philadelphia has kept its quarterback and offensive coordinator in place despite the skid, as detailed in Total Apex Sports’ report on Sirianni’s staffing decisions.
The Chargers enter Week 9 still searching for their first win of the season, a storyline Total Apex Sports has tracked in its coverage of trade deadline scenarios around the league. The uniform choice gives Los Angeles a visual link to a period when the franchise regularly contended in the AFC West, even as the current team works to turn its season around.
What’s Next
The Eagles wear their Kelly Green uniforms against the Giants in Week 9, while the Chargers wear their Super Chargers navy set on the road against the Texans. Both uniforms are tied to this week’s matchups only, with no indication from either team on future appearances this season.
