As you probably know, I love it when NFL teams wear throwback uniforms. The Falcons are scheduled to wear their red helmets and the 1967 throwbacks three times this season. Would be nice if they'd wear them against teams who normally wear traditional uniforms, or better yet work to schedule throwback vs throwback games. Since the NFL has relaxed the one helmet rule last year, several teams have debuted throwback unis and helmets, including the Bucs, Patriots, and Eagles.
Here's my idea for what the Falcons should wear each week this season. The three throwback opponents are obvious: Packers, Saints, and Colts. Additionally, the Birds should also wear red helmets against teams wearing black or navy helmets. This way the Falcons can sports five different looks without resorting to the horrendous black or red pants.
helmet jersey pants
black red white (default home)
black white white (default road)
red black white (home vs dark helmet team)
red white white (road vs dark helmet team)
throwback red black white
Would be cool to have a white throwback jersey to wear on the road against traditional teams. In general, the Falcons should wear white jerseys and pants on the road, and red jerseys with white pants at home. They got their head to toe black costume out of their system in week one.
