_J_ 2,005 Posted April 8, 2020 Look, I really liked the jerseys these are replacing, but fully understand how and why people hated them. They look AMAZING compared to this, mess, that is replacing them. 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Newport 350 Posted April 8, 2020 36 minutes ago, philly97flyer said: I think these have the foundation for a really nice modern set. Only changes I would make: 1. Black facemask 2. Eliminate ATL (either leave blank, or go with smaller Falcons wordmark like previous set) 3. No gradient on red jersey Everything else looks really good in my opinion. And take away the drop shadow 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edjb93 1,054 Posted April 8, 2020 Just found out the entirety of the new Falcons uniforms, and I'll definitely add that huge ATL wordmark to the items that I dislike. If it's smaller and only on the red jersey, I'll like that. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C-Squared 2,887 Posted April 8, 2020 11 hours ago, Sport said: who in the NFL keeps pushing gradients on us? JFC nobody wants gradients. I like the gradient! Especially red fading to black, for some reason... I'd even go so far as to say the side panels carrying to the pants work alongside it. I just don't love the oversized numbers and "drop" shadow, along with the helmet gimmicks... a handful of quirky elements is charming IMO, but there's too much going on across the entire uni 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CreamSoda 2,120 Posted April 8, 2020 The black throwback with the standard block font looks 100X better than either of the other 3... shocker 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BBTV 19,530 Posted April 8, 2020 Godsdammit. These are actually close to being not just good, but really good. Unfortunately, instead of gradually introducing some of the new ideas every few iterations, they slapped them all on there at once. Had they dropped the ATL (or made it significantly smaller) then the black-white and white-white and white-black would be tolerable, even with the numbers and side stripes. The helmet looks nice! I like the facemask, however there should be silver/gray elsewhere in the uniform, and there aint. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8BW14 1,367 Posted April 8, 2020 Okay so I’m gonna go ahead and pass judgement on the Falcons new uniforms. I’ll start with the things I absolutely hate: -the helmet, there was nothing wrong with the previous helmet. They only needed to ditch the silver but they added more, which sucks, and the glossy finish was miles better than the matte/satin that they went with. -ATL across the jerseys is absolute Busch league trash. I’d maybe give them a pass if it was just on the alt but all three jerseys is total overkill. -single color/non contrasting socks are stupid and I hate them. At least it looks like they’ll wear black socks when they wear black jerseys/white pants. -Not a fan of the red pants. Don’t like red pants for the Falcons anyway, but why put a black stripe on them? -the red jersey gradient: cripes, what a bad idea. If anything says regional indoor football more than the giant ATL it’s the gradient jersey. I assume this is the alternate, so maybe we’ll only be subjected to its poopyness once or twice per season but it’s bad. These are the parts that I could live with if they hadn’t so utterly botched the rest of the uniform: -I actually kinda like the number font and I don’t hate the side shadow. It’s unique but not overdone. -The sidepanel/stripe isn’t terrible I guess. There are some decent ideas here, but the execution is terrible and the bad ideas/trend chasing totally overshadow anything that could have been a nice contemporary uniform design. Anyway, here’s to new Falcons uniforms for the 2025 season and at least we don’t have to worry about anyone confusing the Bucs for the Falcons anymore. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CreamSoda 2,120 Posted April 8, 2020 That number font is awful. It’s the primary design aspect of a football jersey and they really messed it up. 13 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
henburg 1,470 Posted April 8, 2020 Honestly, I wouldn't mind some of these more experimental elements like the gradient or the side panel if they were balanced by a little more restraint in other areas, but it's too much altogether. Not to mention, a uniform with giant numbers needs a well-designed number font in order to work at all, and this font is just sooo goofy. I think this criticism gets thrown around pretty flippantly, but this set really doesn't look like an NFL uniform to me. It's going to be wild seeing it on the field. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Volt 1,152 Posted April 8, 2020 I can’t believe all of us are sitting here, perfectly capable of creating better uniforms, yet people with the Falcons and Nike and the league are getting paid to design and approve this crap. I sell uniforms to schools for a living and this just straight up offends me. 11 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simtek34 1,672 Posted April 8, 2020 More combinations. Besides the Fauxback, only one of them has contrasting pants and socks. Very unfortunate. So that makes it (not counting the Throwback) Black Helmet, with Silver Facemask Black, White, and Red with Gradient Jerseys Black, White, and Red Pants Solid-Color Black, White, and Red Socks. Seeing a Non-Mono combo, B/B/W/B isn’t that horrible. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
