The ATL Falcons...

These aren't bad.

Ugly as hell

Tampa refresh. The whites are pretty cool though.
Hard to beleive they actually got worse!  
truebluelarry : 4/8/2020 10:31 am : link
With Tampa and Cleveland fixing their mistakes this year, the Falcons do the opposite. Definitely unexpected.
Good

God. They're hideous.
awful

Look bad
I think they watched this movie a little too much and copied the look  
PatersonPlank : 4/8/2020 10:37 am : link

The ATlanta and Minnesota unis were my favorites  
Jim in Forest Hills : 4/8/2020 10:44 am : link
when they got refreshed.

I don't think they should have touched the current version, thought it was one of the best out there.
They aren't that bad.  
Brown Recluse : 4/8/2020 10:44 am : link
Definitely seen worse.
The throwbacks look good at least

They're not terrible  
widmerseyebrow : 4/8/2020 10:52 am : link
but not very interesting either. I can at least appreciate it when a team takes a chance.
ATL really! how creative

Start the 5 year clock to change them again...

Those aren’t going to go over well...hideous.
Ugh  
beatrixkiddo : 4/8/2020 10:57 am : link
The Throwbacks are ok, but not sure what the infatuation is with the league designing new uni’s after the outfits they ware in the 1980’s movie Running Man. Looks horrible.
I use to like  
Carson53 : 4/8/2020 11:00 am : link
their red helmets they had years ago, better than the black. These new uni's are okay.

They’d do themselves a favor if those were the full time jerseys.
Someone got paid for that?!?

That looks like student work.

...or like something from the Overwatch League.
looks average to me.  
japanhead : 4/8/2020 11:23 am : link
really wish the bucs would've went back to their creamcicle orange unis, with the pirate holding the knife between his teeth on the helmet. were among the best unis in the league back in the day.
Not a big fan...  
Ryan : 4/8/2020 11:28 am : link
..of the stylized fonts/#'s to coordinate with the logo/mascot theme. I think that above everything is what makes some of these unis look cartoonish.

A little surprised they didn't go back to the red helmets too.

I second the Bucs. And I wish the Pats went back to Pat Patriot unis/logo. I hate the Flying Elvis.
When it comes to an NFL uniform, less is more. Just keep it simple  
Vincenzo : 4/8/2020 11:33 am : link
or else you are going to end up looking like a busy XFL or college jersey.

The best uniforms and brands in the NFL are the ones that focus on their colors and keep it clean. Colts, Chiefs, Raiders, Cowboys, Giants, Packers, Bears, Saints, Niners, Chargers have all done this IMO.

There should never be a large city name or abbreviation above the numbers. The Browns recent uni's are a perfect example of this. It works on a basketball uni, not football.
Grandpa Simpson reaction  
VanPelt/Manning#10 : 4/8/2020 11:56 am : link
I know, I know, I'm going to sound like Grandpa Simpson here, but to me this perfectly captures the sad state of the NFL today. In that video on the Falcons site, you can hardly even *look* at the damned uniforms -- I think the longest sustained view was about 5 seconds at the very end. The whole production was like a video game, because that's what the league is trying to cater to, people who treat and experience football like a video game. And changing the uniforms is part of that -- not only a way to get people excited to buy new merchandise but also to make the uniforms look more like the players are in a video game. Can anyone imagine Tom Landry or Barry Sanders participating in such antics? OK, rant over.
i like the red helmet  
cjac : 4/8/2020 12:04 pm : link
with the black logo

not really a fan of the black on black

besides that one thing pretty cool
Say this for the Giants  
M.S. : 4/8/2020 12:22 pm : link

Our team has sucked for quite awhile, but love the uniform.
I thought their old unis were ugly...  
Torrag : 4/8/2020 1:12 pm : link
these are heinous.

Danny Kanell : 4/8/2020 1:25 pm : link
Love the throwback. The rest are atrocious.
I think they're ugly  
ShockNRoll : 4/8/2020 1:40 pm : link
but love the concept of the matte helmet. I think that will wind up being adopted by more times in the next few years.

I agree, but would add Pittsburg, and the hated Redskins.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder ...

But I think the Falcons new uniforms are flat out fugly....
The white ones look clean.  
Dave in Hoboken : 4/8/2020 2:52 pm : link
The rest are trash. And having "ATL" at the top of the jersey is so cornballish.

Say what you want about the Giants over the past several years, but at least we still have among the best uniforms in the league (especially our Home uniform).
I wonder what the rest of the NFC South thinks of them...

They aren't the worst  
Matt M. : 4/9/2020 1:53 am : link
But, I can't stand this new trend of putting the name on the front. That ATL looks cheap. Always reminds me of either knockoff jerseys or HS.
Helmet looks better  
montanagiant : 4/9/2020 5:15 am : link
Uni's suck. They need to allow the helmet to speak and play off it on the Uni's
Not sure how these can be considered  
Jan in DC : 4/9/2020 8:10 am : link
atrocious by so many. Most of them are literally solid colors with ATL on the front. They look fine. A bit boring, I guess.

OK....
As bad as the ATL unis are, the Panthers, are, and have always been worse. Panthers have a top 5 ugly uni in the NFL.
Saw this and couldn't help but chuckle

They stink because the ATL is stupid, the shadow on the numbers and the number font is stupid, and the side stripe on the jersey (which doesn’t match the pants on half the combos) is dumb. Not to mention the throwback which is nice and clean are just staring you in the face. The Giants did a fantastic job in 2000 (and when they switched the away jerseys in 2005) of taking a throwback design and modernizing it. I still think that those jerseys are among the best in sports (with the gray pants of course).
One of the best things about this  
Matt M. : 4/11/2020 6:07 pm : link
is seeing a full grey bearded Deion talking about them. He is almost unrecognizeable.
The ATL on the front  
Geomon : 4/11/2020 11:46 pm : link
makes it look like shit. Hate to say it but the Jets and Bucs new unis look so much better.
