ATLANTA -- Red helmets are coming back for the Atlanta Falcons -- for at least one game this season.
The franchise announced the return of the iconic helmet on Wednesday night for the Falcons' Week 6 game against the San Francisco 49ers at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
The red helmet -- which will have a grey facemask along with a black Falcon crest logo with white trim -- will be worn with the team's throwback black jerseys with white numbers and red trim. The helmet will also be close to the team's original, with a black stripe down the middle trimmed in white and gold.
