I wonder if the Falcons feel compelled to change soon because their current set will be remembered for the super choke. The Bills kept their four-losses-era set for a while. Just because a team choked in those unis doesn't detract from the fact they made it this far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Scott Norwood's Wide Right was pretty gut wrenching. Maybe not quite as bad, but in the same area code.

I'm a Ravens fan, so I've witnessed Billy Cundiff and the 49ers' (thankfully only near-) comeback in SB XLVII. Even if Cundiff honked his kick in the Super Bowl, I'm pretty sure a loss to the 49ers would have felt much worse after a 28-6 lead.

BJ Sands Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Sorry to open old wounds. Hahaha. Considering the Super Bowl, the new stadium, the popularity of their throwbacks, and how dated these uniforms are, I wouldn't be surprised if they decide to change soon.

SB XLVII is a happy memory . . . after some pacing and nail biting. I also wouldn't be surprised if they decide to change soon . . . and I hope they do. I can't stand the current uniforms. To me, the only redeeming quality is the numbers . . .except 11, which looks like a pause button.

Endzones are back in blue, field walls are blue and charcoal, even the logos on the walls have a charcoal outline instead of black, game program is blue and charcoal and the old logo blue and grey stripes are used everywhere... I've got to be honest, this looks pretty good. Good call! Store 1 Store 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jungle Jim Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 While the Falcons Glanville change may not have been BFBS, an argument could be made that it was "Black Overkill For Black Overkill's Sake". Black jersey, black helmet, black logo on helmet, black hat/shirt/pants on the head coach. They went from a beautiful red-centric uniform/helmet to something much less attractive, and the black logo on a black helmet was the worst mistake of all. I'm fine with the Falcons current helmet logo and feel it's better than the one it replaced (and this coming from a traditionalist). It just needs to be on a red helmet. Remove the unnecessary crap from the jersey and those are okay, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScubaSteve Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 The Falcons' current logo always has me thinking I'm in Westworld because it doesn't look like anything to me. Like it doesn't know if it wants to be an F or a bird, and commits to neither Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good point. Stark, too. I think dropping the black jersey and pants was part of moving on, but not quite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were to ever switch logos would they have to cater it to match the seats now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The inside of the stadium looks really nice, but thanks to what a certain poster said, I can't see anything but a robot's :censored: on the outside.

AstroCree Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 All these new stadiums just makes me more pissed off on how bland MetLife Stadium looks. Giants Stadium had more personality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Bolton Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 The Falcons could still have a new logo up their sleeve that includes that wing pattern, or one that's very similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
