If you haven’t been self-quarantined somewhere off the grid with no internet access (and we know you’re not, because you’re reading this), then you know the Falcons unveiled their new uniforms on Wednesday.

And while The Falcoholic’s Agitator in Chief Matt Chambers described the new fits as “the uniform equivalent to a 7-9 season,” some people really like them — or most of them.
