Black, red, grey and white is my guess And I'm here for it. They need to use Grey again, dark or light. It just makes the Black & Red work so much better by providing that mid-tone for contrast.

Froob Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Bad feeling they’ll mess this up and it’ll be a redux of the Titans uniforms. Please just do something similar to the throwbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FormerLurker Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I don’t see any way how this isn’t one of the flashiest uniforms in the NFL. Arthur Blank has always had a thing for flashy and modern, just look at the stadium he just built! combining his taste with Nike trends, here’s my prediction: red helmets with a new wing pattern on the helmet in a mix of black and silver, black jerseys with some new material shiny crazy silver numbers, the same material in some wing pattern on the shoulder. Red pants probably with ATL on the side of the legs. All red option, all black option. I can even see them try to pull off silver numbers on the white jerseys. this won’t be a classic update. You know this to be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Does anyone know how the process starts? - Do the Falcons go to Nike and say we need new uniforms - Does Nike go to them and say your uniforms are a little dated, look at these proposals - Does the NFL say, hey ATL your jersey sales are a little flat go talk to Nike Im just curious what the first step is, I’ve never really heard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDunn Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 One thing Nike has done a few times recently is long narrow triangles. Jets, 2016 Pro Bowl, Jags, and Bucs all come to mind. The same type of triangles that are used in the Falcon's logo as the red wing highlights. Wouldn't be too surprised to see that somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alxy8s Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I hope they just clean it up because the bones of it are fine. The sleeves are too busy and the side stripes are too minimal. Red can be very garish, so I hope they don't use it for the pants or become UGA clones with a red helmet/red jersey. Just because of what the other NFCS teams wear, I hope they don't go with a black jersey either. Considering Arthur Blank's other (far more successful) team, I wouldn't be surprised if gold makes a reappearance, however minimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L10nheart404 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Heard Arthur likes the idea of the throwbacks and that the uniforms resemble them. They aren't complete replicas, but close enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnice Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Falcon fan here, best news of the week! Majority of the concepts here I could go with Shows how bad the uniform is...if they just removed the sleeve design they'd be kinda ok. Maybe this makes up for retaining dq and dimitroff... .. ..

Dynasty Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I'm guessing this was in the works around the time of the new stadium opening. When new uniforms weren't announced during that time, I just assumed Blank was content with the Reebok uniforms. I can't imagine the logo changing too much.

IceCap Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 It's good they're changing them. The current set is among the worst in the NFL with its dating piping and panels. They're also associated with electrocuted dogs and the biggest collapse in Super Bowl history. So it's nice to see them moving on. I have issues with the logo too, but I suppose it can be salvaged with a redesigned uniform.

~Bear Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 It sounds like it's just new uniforms and not a new logo. I'd like to see some tweaks to the logo, but I guess it's not the worst logo in the league. I really hope Nike and the Falcons go the Vikings/Lions route and not the Buccaneers/Titans route. Just bring back the red helmets, get rid of the piping, and add a more traditional sleeve/pants stripe. I imagine they'll change the font, but it's not that bad in my opinion. As long as they don't stick any abbreviations or team names on the stripes or use a god-awful font and hopefully this is a positive upgrade, but knowing Nike's track record, I'm moving forward with trepidation.

Ark Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Someone in the other thread said that these uniforms have a Raiders-like charm to them. I totally agree with that. Tweak the stripes a bit and these are perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
