The Atlanta Falcons revealed their Week 6 uniforms ahead of Sunday’s road matchup against the Carolina Panthers, and they’re familiar ones.
The Falcons will wear their white jerseys with black pants and regular black helmets. This marks the end of two consecutive weeks in which Atlanta wore its throwbacks with the fan-favorite red helmets.
Many around the league, including NFL legend J.J. Watt, have petitioned for the Falcons to permanently switch to their old-school uniforms. For now, though, it’s back to the team’s usual gear.
Here’s a look at Atlanta’s Week 6 uniform combo, per the team’s Twitter account:

Atlanta is in the midst of a season filled with optimism, sitting on top of the NFC South following the team’s 36-30 overtime victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
This came just a week after the Falcons defeated the New Orleans Saints, 26-24. Carolina, however, is looking to bounce back after falling 36-10 to the Chicago Bears in Week 5.
The Panthers are now on a two-game losing streak in a season filled with poor quarterback play. Before that, Carolina fell 34-24 to a struggling Cincinnati Bengals team that hasn’t looked like itself.
Sunday’s game starts at 4:25 p.m. ET inside Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte. Check out the team’s latest injury report, depth chart, and 53-man roster entering Week 6.
