Either way, this would do it. (I wouldn't even be completely heartbroken if they added a small 1" tall "ATLANTA" above the number in a clean new non-italic font.) Solid work, but it's way too dark for a team that plays in a dome. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick72Phins Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Would you all be open to the Dolphins going back to the 2012 uniforms and having the throwbacks as alternates. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I don't watch many (well, any) Falcons games. Do they ever open the roof during games, and even if so, does it really let a meaningful amount of light in? Can't support a dark uniform for domed teams that don't have some kind system for letting real light in. 1 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

I just realized I reacted to this post while trying to it. Personally I would rather ATL stay with a black helmet, but your design is still a definite improvement on what they are actually wearing. I share the concerns of the poster who found it too similar to Tampa’s set though. I think it looks like the Buccaneers mixed with one of the black alts my Ohio State Buckeyes have periodically worn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ltjets21 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 It is funny that the new Falcons logo is very good and probably a better logo but I just happen to like the old one a million times more. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOVER Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Last post on these because I know this isn't the Concepts forum: Lighter Silver: Lighter Silver w/Small Wordmark: With Carolina & Tampa in the division already wearing Silver/"Pewter" helmets, maybe it doesn't make sense, but from a standalone standpoint, this is one of my favorite looks ever. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the lighter silver would work if the jersey was red. You stated the problems already with that look as a primary, but as an alternate that could work. If and when the Falcons change jerseys, they should consider making red the primary jersey color again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave-Bird 08 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 To truncate the Falc-jacking, it's always "all they have to do is pick between the obvious options of the far superior 90s set...and/or 80s set...and/or 70s set...and/or originals!" and you just post really nice photos of those uniforms on loop until someone goes "the old bird looked so dumb but I prefer it." It took two pages. The problem with the Falcons uniform history is there's no glory days associated with any of the uniform eras they went through, and none were particularly bad, but not one is a clear winner over the other. So it's just folks talking in circles constantly about which style is our forever uniform. I don't think the Falcons have a previous uniform that is a forever uniform. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCarp1231 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I don’t get the whole “x team can’t do this because y team does it and they might look too much like z team”. Especially when we have three teams in one division being blue heavy and two of those teams are having a dick measuring competition to see who deserves to own the rights to use a different shade of blue. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, it's having too many teams using the same primary colors. I started watching football in 2009, and there were eight teams using navy, and it would have been nine if the Titans hadn't switched to Columbia Blue the previous season. That made it difficult for me to recognize teams at first, and that stuck with me. I can accept the white jerseys for contrast, but the primary colors were difficult at first. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of consider the Falcons to be the Diamondbacks of football from a design standpoint. Their first look was good but maybe a bit hokey. They updated it to something more refined, but it just doesn’t hit quite the same. That leaves them with a primary set that everyone is pretty ehh on, and a full throwback look that everyone loves, but you can see the reasons why they don’t want to just go back to that. So that leaves them trying to straddle the two eras and it leaves basically nobody really all that happy. 3 Quote On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

I may be in the minority, but I've always believed that the aesthetic quality of uniform is based entirely on, you know, what it looks like. The Falcons got it right on the first try. 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right - if we're going strictly by on-field success, these would be the best uniforms in Falcons history 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
