Indigo Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Okay, buddy. You must be high if you think a 54-year-old franchise that had a consistent color scheme for 40+ of those 54 years, will add --not only--the color of a hated rival, but the color of a franchise in it's infancy that won a title in the F---ING MLS! THE MLS!!!!!!!! No way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE MLS!!!!!!!! No way. What don't you understand? The uniforms are done. Nobody said they would add gold, just that it would make sense and look good. No one's anticipating anything specific. In Atlanta, the soccer team is a huge success, drawing the most fans in MLS history on multiple occasions, so Blank definitely cares. But it's all discussions, why are you so amped over someones simple idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimball Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 My thoughts ... 1) If gold was added it'd mainly be Blank tying in the franchises he owns. Do I think they will? No. Would I be against it? No. 2) I think the discussion we should have is how close Atlanta is to having all four franchises share the same color scheme of red and black. Would we be up in arms if the Braves went with black and red? 3) I'm curious to know what color the helmet will be. I'm betting black. But, I think red helmet with black home jersey would be the best look. 4) Praying for nothing too extreme. "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific."

L10nheart404 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Sounds like it's a little more than traditional, but it's not obstrusive either. Beek has long advocated for a traditional Falcons look, so if he loves them(his words) then they must be a dandy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolvikings Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I wouldn't be able to tell you what color Atlanta's soccer team wears, or any other soccer team wears, so if the Falcons suddenly showed up with that color I'd just think it was random and stupid. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hate the Saints. 2) ATLUTD has gold accents, so it would look like they're trying to copy little brother. It ain't happening. 1) ATL UTD Would be why.

Or, I just have an understanding of how Arthur Blank operates and how he'd want to tie his teams together with the same accent color. 21 minutes ago, kimball said: My thoughts ... 1) If gold was added it'd mainly be Blank tying in the franchises he owns.

Now, they're just meh. USAToday's Falcons Wire Analyst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should be the falcons jersey (with a logo somewhere in between the current and old). Make the road white with red letters, and we’ve got perfection (I’d be okay with red or black pants instead of white). 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!

Indigo Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Would Blank be dumb enough to add an unnecessary accent color from the other franchise he owns, just because he wants to? I honestly doubt that if fans saw gold on the Falcons uniforms, they would think ATL-UTD(unless you happen to live in Atlanta, GA).

If they think tying colors in with Atlanta United would be a success for the Falcons, then that's what they'll do. Who cares about the thoughts of people around the rest of the country who aren't buying Falcons merch anyway? I'd guess gold wouldn't happen, but it makes some amount of sense if it does.

And it’s hard to say where green and gold came from since it’s also in the Portland flag? Whereas the hypothetical we’re discussing vis a vis Falcons gold has a more clear lineage.
