NFL 2018: Best uniforms for all 32 teams following Titans, Jaguars tweaks

Atlanta Falcons: All black 1990s alternate
Some of the fans think they’re cursed, but the Atlanta Falcons 1990s black alternate jersey’s are where it’s at. This isn’t to say their normal look is bad, but it does have a slight Arena Football feel to it.
When the Falcons moved on from the all-black helmet look, the goal was to make a stronger looking brand. They wanted the logo to be more angry looking and they even threw in some nostalgia as the red shirts were a throw back for the team that featured that color much more heavily in the 1970s and 1980s.
Even so, whenever this team dons their alternate uniforms, we all notice. While a lot of social media reaction latches onto the aesthetics of it, true fans let you know that their record when wearing this as an alternate is nothing to be proud of.
This is of course nothing more than superstition. There’s no reason to think wearing a different color actually has an impact on how a team plays. If that were the case, no one would be able to explain how the Jaguars nearly made the Super Bowl looking like their helmets were dipped halfway into a chocolate coating.
The Falcons should just do the right thing, and wear this uniform on a weekly basis.
