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.
