Eagles Kelly Green Jerseys Fly Off The Shelves: Exton Rally House

EXTON, PA — Philadelphia Eagles fans were asking for the return of the traditional Kelly green jerseys for decades.

They finally returned to the Rally House shelves on Aug. 2, and now they have proven to be so popular that they are hard to find.

“The Kelly green is iconic, and they brought it back,” Luis Hernandez, manager of the Rally House in the Exton section of West Whiteland Township, Chester County, said Tuesday. “Lots of people are coming in and asking for Hurts and Kelce jerseys.

"The men’s Hurts sold out within a week. All we have left are the XXLarge. Everyone wants the Kelly green jerseys. We were getting calls all the time from people asking when we are getting them in. Everyone wants them.

“We expect more will come in closer to Christmas.”

The Eagles won three NFL championships wearing Kelly green, in 1948, 1949, and 1960.

They switched to midnight green in 1996.

The Kelly green was first released again at the three Eagles Pro Shops, which are run by the team, on July 31. Jerseys for Jalen Hurts, Jason Kelce, DeVonta Smith, A.J. Brown, Dallas Goedert, Brian Dawkins, Randall Cunningham, Eric Allen and Reggie White were on the shelves.

By Tuesday afternoon they were practically sold out.

“We have very few left, but we expect to get more in as the season starts,” stated a voice recording left on the Pro Shop at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.

The Eagles’ first home preseason game is Thursday against the Cleveland Browns.

At the Rally House location off Route 422 between Phoenixville and Collegeville, the phones have been ringing constantly with questions about the Kelly green jerseys.

The jerseys came in on Aug. 2, according to Jennifer Scavello, manager.

“We come in early and start filling out the orders,” she said. “We have kids and adult sizes. We have Hurts in limited sizes. We are getting them out quickly.”

The jerseys come in two styles - the stitched for $175 and the screen print for $135.
