Atlanta Falcons fans, get ready to turn back the clock! The team has announced its throwback uniform schedule for the 2024 NFL season, and it’s packed with nostalgia. If you’re a fan of the classic Falcons look, you’re in for a treat as they’ll be sporting the throwback helmets not once, not twice, but three times this year.
The Falcons are bringing back the iconic red helmet throwbacks for two exciting matchups. First, mark your calendars for September 29th when they face off against division rivals, the New Orleans Saints, at home while rocking the red helmets. Just a few days later, the Falcons will again don throwback uniforms, this time the all-black versions, for a Thursday night showdown against another NFC South foe, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, on October 3rd. Fans will get one more chance to see the red helmet throwbacks when the New York Giants come to town on December 22nd.

This exciting schedule includes two throwback games within the same week, offering a double dose of retro Falcons style against divisional opponents. Last season, the Falcons wore the red helmets in three games, securing victories in two of those outings. While uniform choice might be superstitious for some, there’s no denying the visual appeal of these classic looks.
The trend of NFL teams re-embracing throwback uniforms is gaining momentum, with teams like the Jacksonville Jaguars also recently unveiling their 90s teal uniforms. For fans who appreciate the golden era of NFL uniform design, the hope remains that more teams will permanently return to these timeless styles. In the meantime, Atlanta Falcons fans can look forward to seeing their team sport these fan-favorite throwback uniforms and hopefully secure some important wins while doing so, especially in those key divisional games against the Saints and Buccaneers.
