Sodboy13 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Awesome find. That would have been a very-not-good idea.

Brave-Bird 08 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I remember Jim Mora's staff while with the Falcons in 2004-2006 wore maroon shirts. I never understood why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDGP Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Looking at that feels like looking at a terrible counterfeit jersey except for the fact that none of the telltale signs of counterfeits are there. Needless to say, that uniforms looks pretty terrible. Although, that would be a cool sort of thing to own, just because it's such an oddity. I've got a dribbble, check it out if you like my stuff; alternatively, if you hate my stuff, send it to your enemies to punish their insolence!

sc49erfan15 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 It's got the right tagging, everything looks legit and checks out... I don't know why I don't buy this. I know there are much weirder things out there, but I feel like this is some kind of screwup, not a prototype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why make a prototype using the name and number of a long-gone former player? Or was there another Sanders playing for the Falcons around that time?

As far as I know, the background colour in the Reebok logo always matches the surrounding colour. Here, the inside is black, while the surrounding colour is maroon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I don't know why but, I sort of like it.Me too. I mean it's bad, but could have been turned in to something good with time. The NFL really NEEDS a maroon team. I'd fully support the Falcons going to maroon and black when they move to their new stadium.

TBGKon Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I remember Jim Mora's staff while with the Falcons in 2004-2006 wore maroon shirts. I never understood why. That appears maroon, but it really black with very close together red pinstripes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xist2inspire Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 The NFL really NEEDS a maroon team. I'd fully support the Falcons going to maroon and black when they move to their new stadium.Tampa Bay comes close, but isn't true maroon a bit too dark to pair with black? We wouldn't want an Eagles 2.0, now would we? (For the record, I really like Midnight Green, but I think they screwed up the color balance big-time. The jerseys, especially the green one, should match the helmet - more white and silver, ditch charcoal and only use black as trim.) Tradition is the foundation of innovation, and not the enemy.

BBTV Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Maroon and silver would be good too. Or gold. Crap I forgot about Washington. Well they look dumb.

ColeJ Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 For a few years after I graduated, my alma mater of Red Oak High School in Texas wore the falcons logo with maroon and black uniforms.... It looked awful. Atlanta would be wise to stay away.As for a team named the Red Oak Hawks wearing an F on their helmets in the shape of a falcon, dont get me started...
