What did the uniforms and helmets look like for the NFL Philadelphia Eagles from 1933 (their start) to 1959?


I am trying to find out the color and any symbols used (e.g. if an eagle or eagle wing, what exactly did it look like and how was it arranged, located on the helmet or uniform/helmet), etc. on the early Philadelphia Eagles football team from their founding years in the 1930s to the years following their late 1940s championships, i.e. through the 1950s. I have been able to find color videos taken of their 1960 championship and verified that they had the current green and silver colors with the silver or white eagle wing on the helmet, but I am having much trouble finding their exact colors, uniform design, and so on in the years prior to that. Most specifically, I am trying to find when they may have changed from some other color scheme (red and black I have seen as a possibility from one source) to the green and silver or white. Since there were only leather helmets with no facemasks through the 1940s at least, I am more concerned with the uniform color scheme and design of the era.
