Atlanta Falcons star wide receiver Drake London has joined the growing number of fans urging the team to adopt their throwback uniforms as a permanent look. The call comes amid increasing enthusiasm from the Atlanta community, who feel the classic design deserves a lasting place on the field.
Throwback Uniforms Featured in Multiple Key Games This Season
The Falcons are scheduled to wear their throwback uniforms four times during the current season, including three high-profile primetime games against the Bills in Week 6, the Buccaneers in Week 15, and the Rams in Week 17. This move highlights the team‘s awareness of the popularity and appeal of the retro design.
London’s Enthusiasm Reflects Fans’ Desire for Change
Drake London expressed strong admiration for the throwback uniforms, stating,
“I love those things. Those are the best,”
and adding,
“I’ve been asking, I’ve been asking forever.”
He emphasized the need for a permanent switch, remarking,
“They keep on upping the games like four games this year, it was three games last year, but they need to make them permanent.”
London’s support echoes the sentiments of many Falcons supporters eager for a refreshed team identity.
Potential Impact of Making Throwbacks the Primary Uniform
With decision makers clearly recognizing the positive reception of the throwback jerseys by showcasing them during nationally televised games, many believe it is time to retire the current uniform design, which has drawn criticism. The move could reinvigorate team spirit and strengthen fan engagement across Atlanta as the Falcons embrace a look that resonates deeply with their community.
