On the one hand, we have news of changes to the Falcons’ jerseys! On the other hand, it is not to inform you that the Falcons are bringing back the black jerseys of yesteryear, so this should be considered a very minor news update.

That change seems to be occurring more or less across the league, and while it looks slick, I’m an old man and don’t want the mesh to go away. You get used to a certain style, and you notice even relatively subtle changes, I suppose.
We know the Falcons will have a color rush jersey this year for Thursday Night Football, but other than that, we have no idea what their uniform choices will look like this year, and whether they’ll roll out the throwback red and black for the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium. We’ll hope to find out soon.
