It's unreal that they haven't switched to something better by now Its the sole reason as a hometown ATLien, that I refuse to buy the current Falcons jersey. They tease us with the throwbacks, but we have a full uniform overhaul sitting in the archives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's unreal that they haven't switched to something better by now Disagree a million %. I think of the Atlanta Falcons as fast, sleek, aggressive birds of prey - not an uber-traditional grind-it-out hard-nosed old-school team. Those uniforms would be out of place for them for several reasons. They'd also look odd considering they play in a stadium that looks like it's from another planet and has all the bells and whistles and is designed to convey a forward-moving (can't think of the right phrase) brand. I get that people don't like the current uniform. I'm not among them, but I get it. But throwing back to something that looks like the Browns should be wearing it (in their colors, obv) isn't the answer. Like most things, it's in the middle. Also, those sleeve stripes would look silly on today's cuts, and the gold helmet stripe LOL.

Electric dogs and the biggest collapse in Super Bowl history. What legacy are the Falcons clinging to, exactly?

FinsUp1214 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I love the Falcons throwbacks, but I’d also be fine with something in between traditional and modern given the newer stadium’s look. In any case though, I really hope this current look is out of the door sooner than later. Not only is it outdated by a long ways and carrying some bad associations, but I really don’t think it’s that solid a design to begin with. That piping looks like it’s barely holding the sleeve caps and pants design together by a thread, and the “stripes” (I guess?) on the sleeve caps just seem like vertical blocks that are just kind of sitting there and not at all lending to a fast and sleek look. I’ve stated a few times how much I’d love for the logo to go too, but I’m not expecting it to, overly jacked up with a swollen foot and squat-winged as it may be.

When was the last time a team introduced a primary uniform with them? If my memory is correct, I think the Bills did it last in 2011... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentColon2 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Dolphins had that weird thing on the top of those road socks. Not sure if that’s considered a stripper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will never understand why they never introduced white socks with the same striping pattern as the pants (thick horizontal aqua stripe with thin orange stripes above and below). Still love the aqua pants look and would take it over white on white any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Yes it does. But looks much worse overall. That's a problem with these matte fabrics - the colors get washed-out.

Did they purposely take this picture under public bathroom fluorescent lights? 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!

Clintau24 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Jaguars adding the 25th anniversary logo to the chest. A little surprised personally, as the chest already had the Jag head. This feels like more than just a patch swap/addition. "I believe in Auburn and love it!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
