Falcons New Uniforms Coming in April

It's been 17 years since the Atlanta Falcons changed up their uniforms. But this coming April the team will be getting a new look. Back in 2003 the last time the team updated the uniforms and logo the starting quarterback was Mike Vick, running backs were Warrick Dunn and TJ Ducket, Patrick Kerney was starting defensive end, and Alge Crumpler was starting tight end. I say it is definitely time for a change up. No, uniforms do not make a team or player, but it sure brings an excitement to the fanbase, including me as a fan of this team. In a statement by owner Arthur Blank to season ticket holders, he stated,

"Time and again, we've heard you ask for new uniforms over the years. We've listened to your feedback and worked closely with Nike and the NFL over the past two years to create a look that represents you and reflects Atlanta's culture, pride and unity."

It is unclear as of now if there will also be a tweak in the logo. The current logo is a flashier logo than its predecessor. Above gets my vote for a new uniform with the current logo. It looks like an old school, no nonsense type of uniform that I would agree with. Below is the video that the Atlanta Falcons put on social media as hype for the upcoming reveal. Hope you enjoy!!!
