Atlanta Falcons fans, get ready to celebrate in style! The team has officially announced their throwback uniform schedule for the 2024 NFL season, and it’s packed with nostalgic vibes. Mark your calendars for three exciting games where the Falcons will sport their classic looks.
The throwback festivities kick off on September 29th when the Falcons host their division rivals, the New Orleans Saints. For this matchup, the team will don their iconic red helmet throwback uniforms, a fan favorite that always brings a vibrant energy to Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Just a few days later, on Thursday, October 3rd, the Falcons will again embrace the throwback spirit, this time in a primetime game against another NFC South opponent, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This game will feature the sleek and powerful all-black throwback uniforms, offering a different but equally beloved vintage aesthetic. Finally, the throwback trilogy concludes on December 22nd, when the New York Giants come to town. For this final throwback game of the season, the Falcons will once again showcase the striking red helmet uniforms.

This double dose of throwback games within a single week in early October is a rare and exciting treat for Falcons faithful. It also pits the Falcons against key divisional opponents, adding extra significance to these already highly anticipated contests. In the 2023 season, the Falcons sported the red helmet throwbacks three times, achieving a 2-1 record in those games with wins against the Green Bay Packers and these very same New Orleans Saints. The lone loss came against the Washington Commanders. While uniform choice might be superstitious for some, there’s no denying the visual appeal of these retro kits.
The trend of NFL teams bringing back throwback uniforms is gaining momentum, with teams like the Jacksonville Jaguars also recently unveiling their 90s teal uniforms. Many fans, especially those who grew up in that era, are hoping for a league-wide return to these classic designs on a more permanent basis. For now, Falcons fans can look forward to these three special games in the 2024 falcons uniform schedule, hoping the team not only looks good but also secures crucial wins against their rivals, the Saints, Buccaneers, and Giants.
