As a kid growing up in the 90s, one of my greatest memories was attending my first Atlanta Falcons game in 1996 when I was 6 years old. My dad, a lifelong Minnesota Vikings fan, took me hoping that I would join him on the purple side, but I was drawn to the black uniforms of the Falcons. I’ve been a fan ever since but the memory I have for my first exposure to the team remains. Even more, I loved the black endzones the Falcons used through much of the 90s, before switching to a natural grass background for much of the 2000s.
Falcons red helmets will eventually return while black end zones will remain at Mercedes-Benz Stadium
