Photos of the new Atlanta uniform leaked online, which bumped up the official unveiling by the Falcons to Wednesday, according to USA TODAY.
ATL is front and center on the new uniforms. This is a big departure from the team’s previous uniform, which featured the word “Falcons” in much smaller print above the jersey number.
For our team.
Our fans.

The question is ….would you want the Vikings to be as creative?
Right now, the Vikings’ uniforms look more like the Falcons’ old ones, the team name in small print right above the jersey number. But maybe the Falcons’ new look is a sign of a larger trend.
Also, the Vikings released a “Primetime Purple” jersey in 2019, so Minnesota spices it up with the uniforms every now and then. The team also tweaked the helmet color slightly in 2019.
The Buccaneers, which unveiled their jersey before the Falcons, went the more traditional route with their uniform.
“These were my rookie year, taking me back to when I was 22. I just turned 30, so I like feeling young again.”
