Swami57 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Are there any other long time fans like me out there that think it's time to bring the red helmets back? Tommy Nobis never wore a black hat, neither did Steve Bartkowski, Gerald Riggs or the Gritz Blitz. The black helmets are the legacy of Jerry Glanville who coached Atlanta from 1990 to 1993 and had one winning season. His biggest claims to fame were his penchant for wearing black and his habit of leaving tickets at will-call for the ghost of Elvis. While Glanville was an outstanding defensive coordinator, he was a lousy head coach and his fashion sense was even worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxatlanta Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I miss the red helmets too. Would be great to bring them back for a game. Would also be great to wear a throwback uni, with the old logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the red helmets possibly for nostalgic purposes. Are there any photoshop wizards out there who can place the current Falcons logo on the red helmet with a black facemask and get rid of the stripes?

SwaG FactorY EnT Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 the red helmet is so dam ugly, the chick on my avator looks better than that helmet I agree, plus the old school unis with the red helmets look too much like UGA's uniforms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbendon Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 NOEven when I was a kid I just never liked the red. I remember thinking it was the coolest thing in the world back in '90 when Glanville came and we got the black jerseys. Man that was cool.

I say be careful what you say about coach Glanville, he was well liked around these parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
