I mean, sure, oversized helmet logos are silly and will look outdated by next week, but the new facemask works (assuming it's more metallic silver and less chrome silver). The problem is that mask, plus the silver outline on the logo just make the rest of the uniform's lack of silver (ok, Nike, dull gray) more glaring. They needed to drop the silver from the helmet, or (better solution!) Add it to the rest of the set. Specifically the pants. And get rid of the black and red ones. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCL 471 Posted August 15, 2020 The IATA code on an NFL uniform might be the most rediculous element in the entire league. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PERRIN 893 Posted August 15, 2020 I would definitely say the new set has grown on me a bit. It's still has a bunch of dumb stuff, but at the very least all the gimmicky elements are consistent and compliment each other well. The monochrome is awful but the B/B/W and B/W/B combos look okay. Still bottom 6 or 7 in the league, but not the disaster it was to me when it was unveiled. I think the Rams new set made the Falcons look miles better just by sheer comparison. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"ATL" was a common colloquialism well before even then'zLord knows I heard it all the time growing up in the 80s and 90s.  Now, to be clear, I've no issue with them using "ATL" on their jerseys...but making them the bastard kin of Ohio State's TV numbers from the same aforementioned early-to-mid 90s is something else. 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BBTV 19,394 Posted August 18, 2020 Another problem I have with "ATL" is that it only saves four letters and it's in an area where there's plenty of room for the whole name. There's no reason to abbreviate anything there. Now if they wanted to work it into a patch or into a small space in a logo or on a sleeve, then ATL would make sense. As it stands, it's dumbbbbbbbb. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

schultzcore 28 Posted September 17, 2020 Doesn't Atlanta have red socks that they could have worn on Sunday? Enough of this unitard look; what are they, the Saints now? Missed opportunity!

~Bear 675 Posted September 19, 2020 These jerseys looked very meh against Seattle. They weren't the worst things ever, but they already look very outdated, like they would've been uniforms 15-20 years ago.  Maybe unpopular opinion, I really think Atlanta should've based their rebrand around their old Color Rush look. Brighten the red, keep red as the primary jersey color, make a black alternate that mirrors the design of the red, and have the array of black/red/white pants. These uniforms looked really good in real-time, and I bet they'd look better with some better accents so it's not just cherry red. Would've been a good idea to build off of regardless. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if you didnât want the all red look, you could use the throwback socks and wouldnât skip a beat.  As far as the âATLâ discussion, itâs probably better than referring to it as âA-Townâ which is a popular alternative. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fouhy12 1,237 Posted September 20, 2020 I'm going to be honest, I've been so confused by the ATL discussion. I've heard that abbreviation pretty commonly, especially in music, and I'm not from anywhere near there. I didn't realize this was something that was even up for debate. I don't know if it belongs on a football jersey, but it's absolutely a valid nickname for the city.  As for the new uniforms, they're just not good at all. The Falcons have great colors and so many different ways they can look good, and yet we're on year 18 now of them messing it up. I don't care if red or black is the primary color, I don't care if they use silver or not, they can look good regardless of the answers to those questions and yet they refuse to. It's infuriating. 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hugevolsfan 784 Posted September 20, 2020 One prediction this board got right as we will see monochrome all the time which so far we have... I agree they could have great jerseys but they probably will never get there... 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
