🦅 The Atlanta Falcons Helmet Story
Look closely at the Falcons logo: the bird's silhouette forms a letter "F." The original 1966 falcon flew on red helmets through 1969 and again in throwback form; the modernized, more aggressive falcon arrived with the 2003 rebrand on black. The red-helmet throwback is a standout in any NFC South collection.
🧠 Collector's Trivia
- The falcon logo was deliberately drawn so the bird's body and wing form the letter F.
- Atlanta's 2016 team scored the most points in franchise history en route to Super Bowl LI.
- The Falcons introduced a red-to-black gradient alternate helmet — one of the boldest finishes Riddell reproduces.
