aawagner011 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I designed a new set of Falcons unis to coincide with the opening of the new stadium. The designs are fairly modern and take inspiration from the Falcons logo...however, this is a much different approach than you typically see, such as when part of the wing is cut out and used as a stripe.The color scheme reverts to the throwback set with a red lid and black primary jersey. The angular stripes were actually derived from the 2016 Pro Bowl uniforms, but I thought they worked perfectly here. A lot of the design is abstract, though there are definite cues taken from the rest of the brand identity...lots of harsh, angular lines, font similar to the wordmark, etc. You'll see no arbitrary design decisions here, like the Buccaneers digital clock numbers, reflective trim, the Jaguars gradient helmet, and so on. A red sock option will always be used when black pants are worn.My favorite of the six designs is the all-white option!UPDATE: Revision 2.0 is uploaded a few posts down.HomeAll black homeAwayBlack pants awayRed alternateRed alternate with black pants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzag Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 the back of the helmet looks odd to meet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H11K Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I gotta agree with above… That being said, that is one of the best concepts and most unique concepts I have seen in a while. Maybe the helmet stripe could be fixed to match the jersey.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 It's a take similar to the wings within the logo...even with a red center stripe. It expands down at the bottom similar to the Bills lid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECUFan25 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 at least make the white stripe go all the way down the helmet stripe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeauxColonels Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Yeah, the red in the center of the back was the main problem with the back of the helmet....but I agree that the white should carry all the way down to the neck as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabcake Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Excellent! Maybe you could try making a black helmet to go with the red alternate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCarp1231 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 This is probably the best Falcons concept I've seen! I do agree with everyone else about the stripe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 Ok, now that I've taken in y'all's comments and seen the concept from afar (instead of zoomed in close), I can see the issue a bit better. I will be revising it with a narrowing stripe and reposting all six versions. Should have it up within 20-30 min. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockey week Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I really like this concept, but I think the sleeves look funny on the red and white jerseys. It's a jarring stop on the front, and only kinda works on the back. it looks too much like the old, but doesn't exactly fit, and it doesn't exactly fit the new one, either. Plus, you're keeping that great Falcons logo on black, where it nearly disappears. Eliminate the black side panels and make them match the jersey color and I think this is a real winner. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonDesign Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Really well done set. I've been hoping the Falcons would return to a red helmet for a long time. I thought the original switch to the black in 1990 started the whole awful BFBS trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramsjetsthunder Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Has to be one of the best Falcons redesigns I've seen. The best combination in my opinion is the Red-Black-White. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynasty Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I've said this before... The logo looks a lot better on a red helmet than it does on a black helmet. You've pretty much proved my point there. The entire concept is/would be a major upgrade over their current uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
