New Falcon's Uni

GrantDawg · 04-24-2003, 08:28 AM

They should be unvieled today, but there is a rumour that these are it:

I hope not.

ice4277 · 04-24-2003, 08:29 AM

They look kind of like Arena League unis. I suppose not too bad.

GrantDawg · 04-24-2003, 08:32 AM

The home and away from the same source. I don't like them at all.

Bee · 04-24-2003, 08:36 AM

Will all the players be wearing the #7 and Vick on the back?

Yes.

bryce · 04-24-2003, 08:39 AM

i like the roads better than the the homes, but yea, they're too tricked up. the old red 80's unis would be better. but then again, i'm one of those freaks who actually liked the old bucs orange uniforms.

I don't agree with you on the bucs uni thing, but the old 80's Falcon uniforms would have been my preference too.

Fritz · 04-24-2003, 08:46 AM

the same guy that made the scroll bars in FOF2001 must have done the lettering on the names

I always swap to these in Madden. Much nicer.

You're definitely right about that. I guess he has to make a living.

Cards4ever · 04-24-2003, 08:56 AM

Holy crap, are they going for the softball uni look too?

Bee · 04-24-2003, 08:58 AM

I like them.

Honolulu_Blue · 04-24-2003, 09:13 AM

Eh, not the worst in the league. They are all right. I like them keeping the original falcon on the shoulder. That's a nice touch. I agree, the original uni's were class.

Honolulu_Blue · 04-24-2003, 09:17 AM

Another thought. You can't blame the Falcons for getting new uniforms. You should strike while the iron is hot and, thanks the emergence of the "electrifying" Michael Vick, it is as hot as it will get for the Falcons. Time to make some money for Mr. Blank.

that would be the broncos, imho (bring back the orange, i say). and these new atl unis kinda got that same look going with the shoulder pad coloring. i do hope this isn't the direction of future nfl jerseys.

revrew · 04-24-2003, 09:20 AM

Those are golly-mom-howdy awful. Changing the logo was excellent. But the black unis were fine. What? They were afraid of Al Davis suing them for wearing black? Those are disgusting.

BTW, Bryce, I happen to LIKE the Broncos jerseys. And their helmet. A lot. But then, I'm a Bronco fan, so perhaps I'm biased. I do freely admit, however, that the Nike swoosh down the leg is a bit goofy.

Worst jerseys in the league will always belong to the Browns, just by default. Once the Buccs got rid of their rainbow orange, nobody is worse than brown, black, white, and orange. Mmmm, give me some more of that dog doo.

The Browns' jerseys? Worst in the league? Come on! They are classic. They look great.

Ben E Lou · 04-24-2003, 09:34 AM

MAKE THE SLEEVES SOLID BLACK FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!

Ugh. The unis were nice as they were.

yea, the browns are one of the best. up there with the cowboys, giants 'new' old school, bear, jets, and chiefs.

unfortunately, the new lions' digs removed them from the top end of the list. poor move on their part.

clintl · 04-24-2003, 10:27 AM

I think every NFL team should include at least a little silver and black on their uniforms just to piss off Al Davis even more.

Fritz · 04-24-2003, 10:30 AM

This is just the black man in you talking.

Maybe Al Davis will sue them for disgracing the league and therefore dropping the value of his franchise in turn.

It wouldn't surprise me at all personally. Since that last suit was thrown out and I think Al needs someone to sue.

GrantDawg · 04-24-2003, 11:02 AM

These still could be wrong. We'll know for sure at 1 o'clock.

This is just a variation on the awful two-tone unis of the Titans and Bills (and others). I really like the new helmet/logo because to me, black on black just does not work at all. The unis need to have more red trim but having a sleeve not matching the body is too amateuristic, imo.

MylesKnight · 04-24-2003, 11:15 AM

Atlanta is joining the old WLAF? Nice, but they still don't even come close to the old Orlando Thunder "Neon Green" Threads.

Kodos · 04-24-2003, 11:41 AM

Ugh. This is not helping my transition from the Fins to the Falcons...

Buzzbee · 04-24-2003, 11:43 AM

All I've go to say is:

Anrhydeddu · 04-24-2003, 11:51 AM

This reminds me of the same reaction folks had when the new Broncos uniforms came out (and the reaction to that orange swoosh "stripe"). Just like an user-interface in a game, fans will get used to it esp. when you see Mr. Hype/Mr. Excitement/Mr. Greatest QB of All Time wearing these new threads, you wouldn't care if he was wearing pink with lavendar polkadots.

Kodos · 04-24-2003, 11:53 AM

I've always like the Broncos new unis. They are perhaps the best in the league.

The rumor that Roger Staubach is coming out of retirement is entirely untrue.

MylesKnight · 04-24-2003, 11:55 AM

They sort of remind me of WNBA Unis as well, for some reason..

SunDancer · 04-24-2003, 11:59 AM

I give the Seahawks the worst uniform nod in the league. What's with the "futuristic" mood? Man, I remeber the old Orlando Thunder uniforms and colors from the old WLAF.

MylesKnight · 04-24-2003, 12:02 PM

A friend of mine has one of those old Orlando Thunder, Kerwin Bell (Thunder QB) Jerseys.. He wore it out to a club one time a while back... Now that was funny..

.. and the damn thing did glow in the dark..

Kodos · 04-24-2003, 12:15 PM

It gets worse. Look at those pants:AtlantaFalcons.com

TroyF · 04-24-2003, 12:38 PM

I HATED the Denver uniforms when they came out, but they grew on me quickly. I think they are some pretty sharp uniforms now.

Worst in the league? Gotta be the Titans.

Best NFL uniforms? Aren't even worn anymore. Why the Chargers don't go back to the baby blues is one of the biggest mysteries in all of sports. I had the money, I'd blow $400 on a Lance Alworth baby blue jersey. . . and I'm not even a Charger fan.

No sir, I don't like it.

See? The same thing will happen with these new Falcons uniforms. It's the players wearing them and your emotional connection to the success of the team that makes all the difference. Just like most Broncos fans all of sudden loved those new unforms because they won two SB with them.

Ben E Lou · 04-24-2003, 12:46 PM

I'm a solid-color guy all the way. Ugh. Get the red off of the sleeves, and the little colored strips off of the pants. I'm fine with a single stripe, but this is overboard and looks cartoonish.

cincyreds · 04-24-2003, 12:46 PM

Yeah, they are now called the Atlanta Vicks!!

Not likely to happen here. I LOVED the solid-black look that Glanville brought with him.

SunDancer · 04-24-2003, 12:47 PM

I love the Thunder look. Lol

digamma · 04-24-2003, 01:09 PM

Also from the Falcons web site. Why would you put black and white photos on your uniform history page?

Shows off the past uniforms well

Buzzbee · 04-24-2003, 01:25 PM

You know, I would ALMOST rather see these 300 lb men come out naked rather than wearing the new God-awful Falcons uniforms. Almost.

I mean what's with the hockey stick down the pants leg?? Errrr!!!! I think Arthur may have just made his first mistake as Falcons owner.

Franklinnoble · 04-24-2003, 01:39 PM

While we're talking about uniforms - I think the Redskins should make the throwback unis they had last year their permanent uniform... I like the deep burgundy much better than the colors they have now.
