If the Birds bring home their second Lombardi Trophy in five years, they'll do so in the same midnight green they wore while winning the first one.
The Eagles are the "home" team for Super Bowl LVII and thus get to choose which jerseys they will wear, and they revealed on the team website that they're going Green in the desert. Look here:

This is the Eagles' fourth Super Bowl appearance and fourth time in green, as they have previously worn the team colors in Super Bowl XV, XXXIX, and LII.
Maybe good luck for them, although two of their three losses came in the midnight greens this year – they were 8-2 with green jerseys and white pants, 2-1 in all black, and 6-0 with white jerseys and any pants, according to research done by Josh Tolentino of the Inquirer – and the Super Bowl lore has not been kind to the teams wearing their home colors, as teams in their white jerseys are 36-20 all-time in the big game.
Then again, the Birds are one of only three teams since Super Bowl XXXIX – the one they lost to the Patriots – to win it all in their own colors, so here's to a repeat?
