So what's the history behind this? Those uniforms look worse than Oregon's.

The Frankford Yellow Jackets were founded in 1899 in a working-class section of Philadelphia called Frankford. Funding came from Frankford businessmen and players were recruited from the graduating classes of local colleges. The Yellow Jackets joined the NFL in 1924 and won the NFL Championship in 1927 but declared bankruptcy in 1931. Burt Bell and Ludlow Wray purchased the Yellow Jackets in 1933 and the team became the Philadelphia Eagles.
