"Hometeam" Brandon Leak, a sports radio host in Atlanta, loves the new uniforms, saying there are "fire!" In 2003, the Falcons changed not only their uniforms, but they also changed their logo. This time around, the Falcons just upgraded the jerseys and pants, and Leak is not the only Atlanta radio host who likes them.

Thoughts on Falcons new uniforms
Love the Helmet
Like the all black
Like the white top over red or black bottomsNot a fan of the gradient look
ATL on the chest is clean
— John Michaels (@JohnMichaelsU) April 8, 2020
John Michaels, another sports radio host from Atlanta, is also a fan of the new uniforms. However, he explains what he likes about the uniforms, which include the helmet. The home uniform combination, and the ATL is on the chest of each jersey. Michaels also said he's not a fan of the gradient look.

They look like xfl uni’s
— Blake (@blVkedavis) April 8, 2020
This fan thinks the new uniforms look like what teams would wear in the XFL. That could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on one's view of the XFL. But the Falcons were going for a more modern look, and still pay homage to the guys who played before the current stars.

Bucs new unis > Falcons new unis
— Matt Miller (@nfldraftscout) April 8, 2020
Matt Miller of Bleacher Report is a fan of the new Tampa Bay Buccaneers uniforms, which were unveiled on Tuesday. The Bucs uniforms are more of the throwback to the 2002 team that won the Super Bowl. Fans didn't agree with Miller because the Falcons actually have new uniforms.
prevnextLeaked early
Falcons drop new uniforms a week before they were scheduled to debut.
Sucks their fun and hard work were thrown out thanks to some 🐀who leaked the photos on line.
— Zach Klein (@ZachKleinWSB) April 8, 2020
The plan was for the Falcons to unveil the new uniforms next week. However, the uniforms were leaked online shortly after the Bucs new threads were announced, which led to the Falcons pushing the release date to today.
prevnextBig Improvement
Like I said yesterday, I like the #Falcons new unis and no seeing them in their full glory, I like them even more. Big improvement over ones they've used for past 17 years. I'll happily fork up $ for these which I didn't for previous ones
— Aaron Freeman (@falcfans) April 8, 2020
Aaron Freeman, a Falcons podcast host, is a big fan of the new uniforms because he feels they are "big improvement" they were wearing before. He also said he will buy these jerseys, which is something he didn't do for the previous ones. That's a very good sign for the Falcons, and with Todd Gurley on the verge of signing, that will be a popular jersey for fans to purchase.
prevnextGrowing
at first my brain rejected them like my taste buds rejected the first time I had an IPA, but ... you know ... they're growing on me
— Mike Foster 🍑 (@Mike_FosterATL) April 8, 2020
This fan didn't like the uniforms when he first saw them. However, once he took a close look at the different combinations, he said they are "growing" on him. It wouldn't be surprise to see him buy a few different Falcons jerseys this year.
