Jungle Jim Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Just clicked on the NFL section of SI.com and saw this beauty. Has it been announced when these will be worn? Should be their primary home uniform.It was also worn last year against the SaintsWhat was the point of that gold stripe on the Falcons helmet?

Island_Style Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Gold was part of the original color scheme I believe. They wanted to honor both GT and UGA. GT's part didn't last but a season. Not sure why. I am happy they did toss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why they kept the gold as an official but stopped using it on the uni. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jungle Jim Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Did gold appear on any part of the uniform other than that stripe on the helmet? Mixing in the gold was a bad idea cosmetically, but it was even worse if the only place it appears was the stripe. There didn't appear to be any gold on the pants or jersey in the photos of that era I found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illini1 is correst about it being added to appease GT fans and it was a pretty late development as I understand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColeJ Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 that niners wordmark is so good and so..... nostalgic. it's hard to even picture their endzones with a different font.i dare say it's iconic. i didn't even realize until now that they stopped using those endzones full time, and now i'm sad.

Lights Out Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 That wordmark really is awful. Way too dainty and ornate for football. The current one looks just fine and matches the helmet logo. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Here's a pic from an old book I have - The Pro Football Experience:That set is just begging for a Vikings-esque style update. If Atlanta can do to those what Minnesota just did to theirs (Bravebird's concept is on the right track), then the Falcons would immediately become the league's best-dressed team...ahead of even my own Buccaneers*.*obviously biaaed, of course *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
