Subjectively, the Falcons have one of the NFL’s best color schemes. Black and red. It’s like peanut butter and jelly or salt and pepper: You can’t beat it.
Unfortunately, the Falcons haven’t always taken advantage of their unique palette on an aesthetic level. I’m not saying it’s the reason they’ve never won a Super Bowl, but I’m not not saying it isn’t.
On Wednesday, Atlanta revealed a throwback look that finally takes advantage of such aesthetic delights. Come this fall, in a home mid-October matchup against the 49ers; they’ll play in their 1966 uniforms.
And with their classic blazing red helmets. Yeah, they look as cool as they sound.

A big shoutout to model A.J. Terrell for making that trademark black and red look so good. To be fair, it would be hard to mess up such a look.
While not surprised by the reveal, NFL fans were delighted to see the Falcons return to their uniform roots.
