infrared41 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 That helmet actually saves that awful uniform. As much as I hate "modern" uniforms, I have to say that it looks great. Amazing what adding the right helmet can do. Change the sleeve logo to match the helmet logo and you've got the closest thing you're ever going to get to a perfect modern uniform.No! the original logo is terrible. I still cannot believe people prefer it over the new one...nobody in Atlanta does.Really? Of the millions of people that live in Atlanta, not one of them prefers the good old logo to the ugly-ass new one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The predominantly black and white color scheme, with just a hint of red... the terribly bland uniforms. What I was saying is the newer logo was embraced extremely well.

TFoA Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 So, the moral of the story is that this helmet:With the modernized logo would look pretty damn cool with the new uniforms. I would love it if the Falcons would go with red helmets if they decide to get new uniforms sometime in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kj Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I can get behind that. The old logo is shamefully poor compared to the new one. (The new one could probably use a little tweaking, but it's still miles better.) The new jerseys look great, especially the sleeves (well, "sleeves"). While I applaud the concept of matching all the striping, the old-school striping on the pants doesn't match up to the sides of the jersey. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

BBTV Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Actually, neither one is very good. This is true.Without any context, the new logo is horrible. If it was created totally from scratch for a brand new team, and not an update that was limited by the design of its predecessor, it would be considered horrible by most (if not all) critics.The old one is very plain and boring, but at the same time is one of those iconic logos that is instantly recognizable. It's too bad that every single high school team named the Falcons has stolen it. I think that if it was updated just a tiny bit (so like 15% instead of 75% like they did), it would work really well still.

I live in Cherokee County, which by all accounts is part of metro Atlanta, and I HATE the new 'drunken bird' logo. Looks like it's about fall flat on its face. The old one is far superior.

powersurge Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I've always thought that BOTH the old and new Falcons logos look pretty awkward. Think about it, the majority of the bird logos I've seen out there with wings have the wings spread or going upward as opposed to downward. Of course I realize the logo alludes to the letter 'F' and if the wings were turned upwards it would look even more awkward on the helmet the way the logo is placed now. That being said, what bothers me most about their identity has more to do with the uniforms than the logo. I'm not a fan of using a black helmet with red jerseys, or vice versa. If they want to continue to sport red jerseys than change the helmet to red or ditch the red jerseys all together. It just doesn't work IMO and they need to fix that.
