Eagles Primary Logo
The Philadelphia Eagles are one of the oldest teams in NFL History. Thus, there is no question that they have quite a detailed history. The franchise started in 1933. The franchise has always been known as the Philadelphia Eagles every year except for one season. In 1943, the Philadelphia Eagles merged with their inter-state rival Pittsburgh Steelers and formed a team called the Philadelphia/Pittsburgh Steagles. This was a temporary arrangement made between both teams due to roster shortages due to World War II.Â
The Eagles have won four conference championships in franchise history. (1960, 1980,2004 and 2017). They have won 3 NFL Championships (1948,1949,1960) and one Super Bowl championship (2017).  Â
Legendary players such as Reggie White, Brian Dawkins, Steve Van Buren, and Chuck Bednarik have played for this franchise. Overall, the Eagles have thirteen players/coaches in the Hall of Fame that are affiliated with the franchise.Â
The Eagles deserve a logo history in which Eagle fans can come and reconnect with their brand identifiers that have only served to enhance their brand loyalty.Â
One cannot help but notice that the Eagles have had quite a few logos during their franchise history. Many may be surprised that the first logo has a color scheme of blue and white. After that, the majority of the Eagles' primary logos had green & white as their color schemes up until 1995.Â
The Eagles' current primary logo has white and silver as its color schemes. It is in its 26th year as the team’s primary brand identifier.
1996 - Present
The team’s logo changed in 1996, with the eagle limited to a white bald head, drawn in a more cartoon based style. The eagle has determined and aggressive attack look with mouth open. The logo has a silver border to give it a 3-D look. The current logo has a hidden “E” on the neck of the eagle.

The logo is a black eagle grabbing a black helmet.
