Atlanta Falcons new jersey leak Fans react to possible new uniforms, helmet ahead of 2020
The Atlanta Falcons were scheduled to release their new uniforms next week, but Tuesday nights Twitter leaks extended that date by a few days. So the team let loose their new red-and-black-white creations on the world.
Nobody likes a new uniform; Everyone wants some version of the old uniform, which was probably hated when it was new.The primary change is a large ATL on the front of the uniform's jersey. Since the logo is an important part of the seating design of Mercedes-Benz Stadium, that was neither changing, nor the colors themselves. But the fonts of the numbers are different, and the jersey and pair of pants - all white for away games, all black for home - are also new.
The helmets are matte black, with a larger logo.
“As you know, part of our promise as an organization is to listen and respond,” Falcons owner Arthur Blank wrote in announcing the new uniforms. “Time and again, we’ve heard you ask for new uniforms over the years, and in the spirit of our core values, we’ve listened to you and responded with what I know will be an exciting new era of Falcons football.”
Although the Atlanta Falcons are fine with calling the shots by former league MVP Matt Ryan, they have now included their Floridean rivals in unequal redirected uniforms - revealing them to the world on Wednesday.
"Arthur Blanc said in a statement," Time and again, we've heard you ask for new uniforms over the years. "We listened to your feedback and have worked closely with Nike and the NFL over the past two years. It's a form that reflects you and reflects the culture, pride and unity of Atlanta."
It marks the first full-scale homogeneous change for the Falcons in 17 years.
"The Falcons have a proud tradition of bringing people and communities together from all walks of life with a shared passion for winning football, and the intense desire to see a championship-caliber team both on and off the field," Blank said in a letter to the team's fans. "Football will be back and when it is, I can promise our Falcons will be stronger than ever -- for our loyal fans and for our city."
Unlike the Buccaneers, Falcons series of similar changes have never featured an alternate color different from their base colorway as were the famous Tampa Bay Creams, and that will not change for 2020. Blanc is continuing the team's legacy by sticking. For the traditional black, white and red trio, but adding a shield for the red jersey that matches the black bottoms with a red side stripe.
The most notable change outside of that is the all-white combination with highly contrasted black jersey numbers, a design that gives a nod to Nike's Color Rush design that features an optional color from top to bottom.
There have been times in the past when the Falcons went for a more tiring look, but this time, they have their eyes firmly fixed on the future, while simply remembering where they came from. Have enough indifference to.
