"Interrupting your meme content," the team wrote in a tweet.
A 2021 offseason rule change permitted teams to wear more than one helmet color. In 2022, the Birds debuted black helmets.
The Eagles wore Kelly green jerseys in the 1980s and '90s.
Birds owner Jeffrey Lurie said in March the team would wear them this season.
"This is the season we'll re-introduce the classic Kelly green and I'm super excited," Lurie said in March. "I don't know what date that's going to be, but I think the fans will love it. It's why we're bringing it back. We really took the feedback seriously over the years, and the first moment we could get the Kelly green helmet approved, we'll finally be able to see it on the field."
