While the Falcons were the first to dominate this colorway, it’s a bit of a mess in 2026. Without the helmets these uniforms are almost indistinguishable from the Houston Texans or Arizona Cardinals, both of whom have come to use predominantly red and white uniforms as either their primary, or alternates.
The white pants lack the strong black piping that was emblematic of the original uniforms, there are no black jerseys, the silver pants of the 90s are nowhere to be seen, and the coveted return to red helmets aren’t here either. While it’s possible we could see these as alternates, not having them as part of the reveal is a letdown — and that’s led to a lot of fans being upset.
It’s extremely bizarre that the Falcons just keep on trying to rework their uniforms but keep managing to make their fans unhappy. At least it’s on brand with how much disappointment the Falcons cause on the field.
