The_Admiral Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Red helmet, black jersey, white pants, black striped socks is my favorite Falcons look. Just needs a better version of the primary logo. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just needs a better version of the primary logo. This would be perfect, with just a little modernization (not much) of the numbers and helmet logo. Add a white road jersey with red numbers/black trim, red road pants with similar striping, and an alternate red jersey, and you are set for the next 20 years. You could even (rarely please) do the all red color rush once a year (at most). The current look and striping has gone stale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 That white just seems too bright against the black and red. Silver would be great. Shiny silver.

The_Admiral Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Nope, starts encroaching on the Raiders a bit too much. Red/white/black contrast is always very striking: the Chicago Bulls, the White Stripes, Nazis ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crosfam Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I have to concur, silver just does not fit. It kind of works with red helmets and an alt red jersey (R/R/S), but not R/B/S. Got to vote for a clean R/B/W as a home primary look. Solid Red, Black, and white color scheme. Then: R/W/R - away, R/R/W - alt Back in the 70s and 80s,teams added metallic accents, and then went away from it. Colts, Falcons - the Packers almost did it. I remember the Seahawks with shiny silver pant fronts, and gray pant backs. If the Falcons changed as suggested, it would be akin to the most recent Giants rebrand (GIANTS to NY). A return to a classy look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Isn't the story that Ron Wolf wanted to go green and gold and got as far as field testing them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Yeah, forest green and metallic gold, but that was in the mid-'90s, not the '70s or '80s. Didn't like the way they wound up looking on the field. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Al sued Atlanta though. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 http://media.gettyimages.com/photos/aug-1998-wide-receiver-tony-martin-of-the-atlanta-falcons-in-action-picture-id344906 This is drab compared to the other picture I posted. They look more like the poor man's Raiders than either team that wound up getting sued. They had a color distribution that worked just fine. They don't need to play Raider dress-up again. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolvikings Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Atlanta Falcon primary looks in order from best to worst IMHO... With the exception of trading their switching from black to red with their current uniform, every step has been backwards. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynasty Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I'll admit, I kinda like the chrome logos. The rest of it (mainly the fabric) is just atrocious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshey Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I really, really like that chrome! Not a fan of the color/fabric of the hat itself but I love how the logos came out. Of course they find another way to make the hat distinguishly bad. GO NETS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I like the idea of the chrome logos, but last year they were just glued on. Really cheap-looking in person. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
