Atlanta Falcons

[MattMilone]

Ok, so the Falcons quaterback had some problems. It's obvious Arthur Blank is trying to get his brand as far away from "Bad PR Vick," . . . Blah Blah Blah.

Here's the latest update, with two extra helmets just to see what they'd look like. Honostly, I think Oregon U. has better helmets than these, but why not throw them out there. Also outlining edit to the logo (barely noticable, but I think it's better) and no ALT this time. This is a response to the "make the team's primary red" requests. So I did. I kept black, but only as a trim, and replaced most white with silver (with exception to the AWAY's, no silver jersey . . .) Anywho, let's have another go.

MULTIPLE POSTS MY BAD

I was gonna ask a question should they tweak the jerseys, since they would be washing their hands of the qb, since they changed uni's into Reeve's last year. I'd just keep the current piping and dispose of the crazy sleeves they have, but for yours I'd take off the horizontal stripes on the sleeves,

I think they look sharp the silver pants are ok but Im wondering wat it would look like if they pants were whit with silver trim between the red and black on the pant stripes

Those aren't half bad, neat idea with the piping.

The only suggestion I have is maybe change the grey piping to white on the home and alt and change it to black on the away.

Something bugs me the way it is now

I like your avatar. If that's worth anything to you.

No on the gray pants. They look awful on the Giants and they'd look awful on the Falcons too.

Perhaps something more in this direction:

At least there is no other red/gray combination in the NFL.

i understand that vick has got some problems (trust me, i know, look at my name) but that doesnt mean that the entire organization has to change its identity... he may have been a leader but he wasnt the organization... i love the falcons current set, the only thing i think they should change is make the sleeves on the reds black and make the stripe down the side red with black piping, everything else is pretty much perfect... these... hate em... sorry, bro, just not feelin it, the best thing they did with their new set was ditch the grey and the straight line striping wouldnt work since theyve gone with the modernized angled tapered stripes and piping... the red pants... i think i threw up a little, and i hate 95% of jerseys that have colored numbers with white outlines... the saints can kind of pull it off, the rams can kind of pull it off... there is no reason that the lions black jerseys should have blue numbers... its hideous...

Naw... he was only the face of the team as well its de facto onfield leader and highest-salaried employee, around whom entire schemes were attempted and based. He was kinda sorta more or less the organization. Of course, I'm not expecting anyone with your screen name to agree with any of this...

As far as the concept goes, why not reestablish red as the primary color? Black is a vestige of the Jerry Glanville Era. All of the other places that Glanville infected have shed or scaled back on their gratuitous use of black; the Falcons could do the same. Black was always a trim color, so I am not saying eliminate it. Just make red dominant again. Silver instead of gray could be a great link to the past, as well as just having a nice look to it. And metallic pants work with the home and away jerseys. These are a step in the right direction.

Two words: RED HELMET.

[lambertjr]

Got that right!!

RED HELMETS!!!

[Coast2CoastAM2006]

well they have taken a step in the right direction by making the red jersey the primary and the black on an alternate. the problem is its going to be associated with the vick era. i don't follow the falcons that much but didn't the falcons ever have a black helmet/red jersey with the old falcon logo?

Red helmet would help this quite a bit, IMO, as they'd "look" more like the Atlanta Falcons, at least, to many of us.

The other thing would just be consistancy. I preferred look 1 to 2, as in 2, the grey is only in the jersey striping, and really, you'd be better off when it's really nowhere else in the uniform, to just make it white or red, depending on the jersey.

By going to a red helmet, the Falcons would continue to separate themselves from looking like their division rival Buccaneers.

[Perfect Zero]

I echo the comments about a red helmet, and I think that you should use white numbers on the red jersey.

WTF?

I don't get this comment. If anything, the change to a red jersey and a switch to a red helmet makes them more like the Bucs. That black helmet brings distinction, especially with respects to this concept.
