AgentColon2 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I remember getting this NFL Encyclopedia book in the early 80s when I was a kid. I must have read it a hundred times. My favorite part was at the end of each team’s section and reading about the team colors. For years I was confused because they listed old gold as a Falcons team color. Pulling up pics on the internet wasn’t a thing so it was years later when I finally saw it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vikings look better because of the quirks, like the sleeve stripes and pant stripes. The Jets would have looked better if the sleeve stripes stopped on the sleeve cap. I got the NFL and NBA contracts mixed up. But early reebok is what I meant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the simplicity of the old Falcons logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that was a carry over from Nike, Reebok gave us the weird piping jerseys that was different on every player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach McKay and Doug Williams would disagree with that. Granted, it isn’t like that success was long lived, but it did happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Am I the only one who kind of likes the Falcons current uniforms? They’re not perfect, but they’re also not the ugly monstrosity a lot of people make them out to be. They use some interesting piping designs, but they actually use it well unlike most teams who use piping. They’re EASILY the best of more modern designs put out by Reebok.

jws008 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 While I generally agree that the Falcons shouldn’t add gold (or add it back), I disagree with the argument that they can’t do it because their division rival Saints use gold. I mean they both already wear black and white. By that logic, the Patriots should have never gone royal blue, since it was a Bills color. Later, the Bills also shouldn’t have added a navy blue, because by then it was an established Patriots color. Wait, OMG, both teams currently use red, white, and blue colors and they are in the same division! Horrors! Three colors in common! How do we ever tell them apart?

WavePunter Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Brandon Moore likes them, and I don't hate them.. they catch a lot of hate for all the piping, but the sleeves are an interesting modern take that kinda works, and dropping a little piping to clean them up might save the core idea of the look.. the armpit inserts and side piping might be a bit much, but the number font is excellent and the "busy" sleeves aren't even close to the worst design element in the league..

Your claim was that the font was excellent. I am saying that if the 11 looks like a pause symbol (apologies for using the wrong word), the font isn't excellent. It's where I sit.

Nah the Falcons unis aren’t ugly, their just boring. If I want to cure my insomnia, I’ll just watch an old Falcons football game with their current set, works all the time.
