The Atlanta Falcons have missed the playoffs for two straight seasons and while the front office elected keep the coaching staff in place for another year, the team will be wearing new uniforms in 2020.

It seems like something only fans and players would get excited about, however, head coach Dan Quinn was apparently pushing behind the scenes to get a new look for a few seasons.

In a recent interview on Matthew Tabeek’s Bird Noises podcast, Quinn talked about the effect that getting new uniforms can have on a team. Watch below, as tweeted out by the Falcons’ team Twitter account:

Denver Nuggets’ great Alex English had a celebratory weekend as his jersey was retired at Dreher High School in South Carolina. English attended Dreher High School from 1968-1972 where he was an All-Region and All-State star athlete, while the retirement of his No. 22 jersey will be the first of its kind for the school. “We are very excited to honor Dreher alum and basketball legend Alex English,” said Dreher athletics director Jeff DiBattisto. “His accomplishments in the game of basketball at all levels are world-class. He continues to be an ambassador for the game of basketball around the world and we are proud he is a Dreher Blue Devil.

Steve Fisher put his arm around Kawhi Leonard’s shoulder and asked him to look around at a packed Viejas Arena, where 12,414 fans were standing. “This is your legacy my friend,” the former San Diego State coach told his most prized Aztecs recruit. Returning to the place where he won two conference titles, reached a Sweet 16, worked his way into becoming an NBA lottery pick and even learned how to surf, Leonard watched his No. 15 become the first jersey in program history to be retired by San Diego State on Saturday night.

Bryant’s retired No. 33 jersey was stolen in 2017 from Lower Merion High School’s campus and eventually bought by a collector in China. Suspicious the jersey was stolen, the Kobe collector contacted the school and helped return the keepsake to suburban Philadelphia, a process already underway before Bryant was killed Sunday in a helicopter crash. The uniform was at last back Saturday where it belonged — unveiled under a spotlight by Bryant’s cousin, his old high school coach, and a former teammate at Bryant Gymnasium. “Good timing,” Lower Merion coach Gregg Downer said. “That was kind of an iconic moment when the spotlight went on that jersey. It was just tremendous. It was major irony, almost, how we’ve been waiting for that jersey for a long time. For a long time we didn’t know where it was. To have it back, it’s a fitting ending to a tough week.”

The streets of Chicago surely will be jam-packed with celebrities and basketball junkies come NBA All-Star Weekend in three weeks. On the court at United Center, this year’s threads will pay homage to the city’s popular alternative use of transportation — the transit line. Jordan Brand and Nike designers have developed a concept to incorporate all eight lines of the train, identified locally as the Chicago “L,” as the theme of each uniform color.

Look: Notre Dame Shows Off Camping World Bowl Uniforms

What we don’t see is if the commitment to green in the gloves and cleats will be made like in last year’s Cotton Bowl or if it’ll be the look we’ve seen the

Does Notre Dame show up and play to their potential today or do they sleepwalk through the Camping World Bowl against Iowa State?

If it’s at all like I feel this morning it will be a slow start to put it nicely. Regardless, they’ll look good doing it as they’ll be in their road uniforms and since it’s a postseason game, names will be on the back.

What we don’t see is if the commitment to green in the gloves and cleats will be made like in last year’s Cotton Bowl or if it’ll be the look we’ve seen the Irish have in road games all season.

For what it’s worth (nothing, actually) Notre Dame has not won a bowl game while wearing white since the 2010 Sun Bowl as they beat Miami 33-17 in a game the Irish dominated, leading 30-3 entering the fourth quarter.

Alright, enough about fashion. Let’s put the ball in the air already and get to kickoff.
