This is phenomenal news.
I know some people don’t care about the atheistic side of football, but for those of you who care about NFL uniforms, this is some news for you.
On Monday at the annual league meetings being held in South Florida, the NFL informed team owners that teams can now wear their throwback and alternate uniforms up to four games in the 17-game regular season. This is an extra game, as the previous rule only allowed throwbacks and alternates to be worn in three games.

This is fantastic news if you are fans of the Atlanta Falcons throwback uniforms, like myself, including their red helmets. With the old rule, the Falcons were wearing the throwback uniforms for the maximum three games during the 2024 season, so one would assume they will do the maximum this upcoming season and wear the throwbacks in four games.
This news comes the same offseason in which the Falcons, along with six other teams, are now eligible to change their uniforms again. Somehow, it’s already been five years since they revealed their current set — although it’s worth noting that the process of getting new uniforms implemented takes time.
As a fan of the Falcons’ more traditional look, and openly not a fan of the current set, I’m hoping for a change soon. Regardless though, it’ll be nice to possibly see an extra game of the Falcons throwback uniforms.
