phutmasterflex Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Have the Falcons and the Cowboys decided yet if they will skip the throwbacks this year?Falcons already announced their uni schedule and it doesn't feature throwbacks.And according to this new rule, Cowboys won't throw back to that white helmet Go A's!

oldschoolvikings Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 So this is the real tragedy in this rule...The best looking uniform in football (any level, period) will not be seen again.Unless, of course, the Falcons come to their senses and trade up from their current tired look. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jungle Jim Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I've thought from Day One that the current Falcons logo would have looked 1000 times better on a red helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norva Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 They could throw back to these, just swap the decal for the helmet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I don't know why, but I still love that old Falcons logo so much better than the current one. And I think the current one isnt a bad logo, either. There's just something about how simple the previous look was that I still miss.

BBTV Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 The old one is a classic, bordering on ico... never mind. The current one is not bad, but it with its aggressive tilting, it's just too contemporary for my tastes, and will be dated eventually. There's nothing inherently bad about it, and for an expansion team I'd probably give it high marks, and frankly it works better with the uniform style they switched to, but it came at he expense of one of the league's most recognizable classic marks.Just simplify the lines inside the wings and call it a day.

Buster Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 They could throw back to these, just swap the decal for the helmet:Not without prior approval from the league, so not this year. If the NFL is going to drop a rule like this out of nowhere, they should be flexible wiih substitutions.That red helmet throwack set is one of my favorites. They look far BETTER than the current primary and should replace them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 You don't know that they're not being flexible with substitutions. Unless someone in the Atlanta front office claims that they tried but were denied, we don't know that they even wanted to do this.

OnWis97 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 So this is the real tragedy in this rule...(Photos of Falcons throwbacks)The best looking uniform in football (any level, period) will not be seen again.Unless, of course, the Falcons come to their senses and trade up from their current tired look.Tragic? Maybe. But it is not a tragedy of "No more creamsicle Bucs" proportion. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

Evil G Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Couldn't the NFL just fit the throwbacks? Or is Roger Goodell worrying about his revenue instead of safety?This is why we need Tag back.

Gothamite Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 How does eliminating or restricting the alternate uniforms, a known source of revenue, mean Goodell is "worrying about his revenue"?That makes as much sense as bringing Tagliabue back.
