Philadelphia Eagles logo history
The Philadelphia Eagles introduced the current eagle-head logo in 1996, alongside the move to midnight green. The head faces left, with layered white and silver feathers bordered by dark outlines. It replaced the full-body eagle carrying a football that is strongly associated with the team’s kelly-green era.
Current Philadelphia Eagles logo vs. the old logo
New
Old
The old Eagles logo shows the entire bird with spread wings and a football in its talons. The current design crops the identity down to the head and emphasizes the eye, beak and feather shapes.
Which way does the Eagles logo face?
The current eagle faces left. The beak projects to the left and the feathers trail to the right.
When did the Philadelphia Eagles start playing?
The Eagles were established in 1933 in Philadelphia. The full-body eagle belongs to the decades before the 1996 identity change. The current head was in use for the franchise’s first Super Bowl championship after the 2017 season, while kelly-green throwbacks preserve the older visual tradition.
