paynomind Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 http://www.ajc.com/falcons/content/sports/falcons/0204/11falcons.htmlFalcons fans will be seeing red next season: The team will switch from black to red jerseys for home games for the first time since 1989.League officials approved the team's request to make the change. The red "alternate" jerseys that were worn by the team for two home games last season will be permanent."We first talked [to NFL officials] in November after we first wore them [Nov. 23] against Tennessee," executive vice president of marketing/sales Dick Sullivan said. "It was driven in part by fans, coaches, players. . . . Everybody seems to love them."The Falcons wore red jerseys for home games from 1971-89, switching to black in 1990.The black jerseys will make one or two appearances next season as well."The red jerseys were cool," safety Bryan Scott said. "I got good feedback from fans and my family about them." NCFA Sunset Beach Tech - Octopi ΓΔΒ!

paynomind Posted February 11, 2004 Author Share Posted February 11, 2004 I like it. Those red jerseys were very shap looking as alternates. I wonder if they will wear black two games this year now?

JQK Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Red uni, white pants, or silver pants, since silver is part of the scheme. I think it would work. For the love of God NO black pants.. ugh... Stay Tuned Sports Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STL FANATIC Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Silver pants would look just kinda thrown in. I know their is technically silver in the logo, but that looks just thrown in too. They should have just eliminated it all together, or incorporated it more. I always thought it looked thrown into their other unis too, even though it wasn't too bad.

hrivnak Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 On the official Falcons website, it says they are going with white pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chazberg Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 I must be the only one here who thinks the black jerseys looked a lot better; the sleeve striping doesn't look as good on the reds I thought since they just kept it the same from the black jersey. They should change it and make the black stripe in the middle on the red jerseys. And please, no black pants with the red jersey, only with the white. charles-noerenberg.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pagan696 Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 15 years to fix Glanville's mistake...oh yeah, Jerry's mistake. i thought it was Rison, "Neon" Dieon (or PrimeTime), and MC Hammer that ruined the all black-look Falcons. 2 Legit (2 quit) anyone?and this coming from a (then) Falcons fan. the classic red helmet, red jersey, and white pants are the misfit Falcons of the early 80's i remember. maybe a mock up of the new logos on red helmet, blk jersey, and white (or silver) is in order.
