SAO PAOLO, BRAZIL
Banned from wearing green, the Philadelphia Eagles have unveiled new uniforms for their upcoming game in Sao Paolo this week.
“The feather boas might be a bit of a hindrance,” said ESPN commentator Michael Yoder. “But then again, I could easily see all the bright colours having a kind of mesmerizing impact on their opponents.”
In addition to the new uniforms, the Eagles will be expected to samba their way to a first down.
“I’ve heard the quarterback was practicing his ‘down set cha cha cha’” said Yoder. “That’ll probably draw the defence offside.”
Gatorade has also been replaced with something a little more appropriate on the sidelines.
“They’ve got someone mixing up caipirinhas,” said Yoder. “I like mine with extra lime.”
Eagles players say they like the new uniforms, but are concerned the high heels might impact the kicking game.
