So, I just turned on the Eagles/Lions game and was positively confused for a few minutes.

Who the hell are the guys in the blue and yellow jerseys? Is this the right game? Is my TV on the fritz? WHERE ARE MY BIRDS?

Then the cameras zoomed in to a blue-and-yellow-clad player with the name of "McNabb" on the back of his jersey. Ohhhh. A memory of Lauren sending me a link at work months ago that announced the Eagles' decision to wear "throwback jerseys" in honor of their 75th year, and the Frankford Yellow Jackets team that started it all (kind of - the Yellow Jackets were not the early Eagles).

My opinion? They look stupid.

But the score is currently Birds 35 to the Lions' 7 with 9:08 to go in the first half, so if the new jerseys work for them, more power to 'em.

E A G L E S EAGLES!

ETA: On second thought, my opinion on the jerseys might be changing. *cheers latest Birds touchdown*
