The Atlanta Falcons are preparing to take on the New Orleans Saints this weekend at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in the team’s first divisional game of the season. The Falcons are set to wear their red throwback helmets during Sunday’s NFC South showdown in Atlanta.
These fan-favorite helmets will be worn with the team’s black uniforms in Week 4, but fans got a glimpse at a different color combination on Wednesday. Atlanta’s social media team shared an image of quarterback Kirk Cousins wearing the red throwback helmet along with his red practice uniform.
Falcons fans on Twitter fell in love with the red-on-red look while others suggested the team make the red helmets permanent.
