Falcons to wear throwbacks Sunday...

[704Designs]

There has been a different feel to this week’s preparation.

It started on Monday, when red helmets were placed in every player’s locker.

The team will pay homage to the inaugural 1966 team, with a black jersey, white pants and red helmet this Sunday against the Carolina Panthers...

Hopefully we can make them look like that team, as they went 3-11 overall and 1-6 at home that year. GO PANTHERS!!

Link ain't working. I always like when teams wear throwbacks.

My b. Its fixed now. I must admit they look pretty badass

[tarheelblue89]

Yea those are pretty sweet. I think they should go back to the red helmets.

Those red helmets might as well be bullseyes... makes them look like cherry lollipops.

Not a fan.

If they play like the Falcons did when they wore those jerseys- 3-13 in 1966, I like our chances.

A for effort from their front office.

I didn't realize those jerseys had the falcon on the side.

Haha, the Falcons don't have a winning tradition or anything to be proud of from their past. Why would you throw back to the loserville times.

Oh by the way, Turner looks really fat in that picture.

[tarheelblue89]

Because it was their first season.

its so funny that the falcons have throwback jerseys when they were pretty much a free win all those years.

[AKPantherFan]

i got a feeling they will hate the throwbacks after the game

[rippadonn]

They'll get thrown back alright.

The poll on that site, lol. How many INTs will Jake throw this weekend.
