What color is the Eagles logo

The short answer

For most US readers, "the Eagles logo" means the Philadelphia Eagles of the NFL. The team's current logo palette is midnight green, silver, black and white. Midnight green is the signature color, a dark blue-leaning green. Silver, black and white define the eagle head mark's feathers, outlines and highlights.

Many other teams also use the Eagles name, including several college programs, and their logos have different palettes. This article covers the Philadelphia Eagles only. If you mean another team, check that organization's own brand materials.

The palette at a glance

Color | Role in Eagles branding

Midnight green | Primary team color and the color most people associate with the club

Silver | Secondary color used for detailing and feather definition in the eagle mark

Black | Outlines, shading and contrast, plus alternate uniform and merchandise use

White | Highlights in the eagle head and contrast against the darker colors

The exact placement of each color inside the eagle head is best confirmed from an official file rather than from a description, because small details are easy to misread at small sizes.

Missing information

No official color specification was available for this article. That means no hex, RGB, CMYK or Pantone values, and no dated brand-guideline records. Color codes circulating online may be approximations sampled from screenshots. For production work, get exact values from the team's or the league's official brand guidance.

Why midnight green and not kelly green

The Eagles previously used a brighter kelly green. That color still appears on older marks and throwback uniforms, which is why some people picture the logo in a lighter green. The current eagle head mark belongs to the midnight green era.

Readers sometimes describe midnight green as aggressive, modern or serious next to the friendlier kelly green. That is an interpretation, not the team's documented intent, which was not available here.

What this means when you work with the logo file

Midnight green is easy to reproduce badly. Depending on the screen, printer or file, it can drift toward teal, gray-blue or near-black. Several practical points follow.

• Do not sample colors from a JPEG, a screenshot or a web preview. Compression and display profiles shift dark greens, so the value you pick up may not match the official color.
• A file with a vector extension is not necessarily true vector artwork. An SVG, EPS or PDF can contain an embedded raster image instead of editable paths. Open the file in a vector editor and check whether the shapes are selectable paths with assigned fills.
• In genuine vector artwork, each shape carries a defined color value. That is the reliable place to read the palette, provided the file comes from an official source.
• Screen colors and print colors are specified differently. A value that looks right on a monitor will not automatically print as the same midnight green. Use the print values from official guidance for print work.
• Silver is often a printed metallic or a flat gray stand-in. How it is represented depends on the production method, so confirm which version a given application requires.

Permission is a separate question

The Eagles logo is a registered trademark. Finding or downloading a copy of the artwork does not give you permission to modify it, recolor it or use it commercially. The same applies to any team typography that comes with it. Fan, editorial and commercial uses are treated differently, so check licensing requirements before using the mark in anything beyond personal reference.
