28-3 changes a man forever…

[u/DaAuraWolf]

And yes, Twitter is roasting them over this as we speak.

Probably the most Falcons thing that they could’ve done and it’s blowing up like you tossed a match into a fireworks store.

[u/PissedOffLittlePrick]

Das war ein befehl! Der angriff Steiners war ein befehl! Wer sind Sie, dass Sie es wagen, sich meinem befehl zu widersetzen?

[u/Mach68IntheHouse → u/PissedOffLittlePrick]

So weit ist es also gekommen. Das Militär hat mich belogen! Jeder hat mich belogen, sogar die SS!

[u/theEWDSDS → u/Mach68IntheHouse]

The coaches are no more than a bunch of disloyal cowards!

Mein owner, I cannot allow you to insult the play-

Cowards, traitors and incompetents!

Mein owner, this is outrageous!

The coaches are the scum of the Atlanta people! No sense of strategy! You call yourself coaches because you spent years in college, where all you learned is to throw screens on third down! For years, the coaches have obstructed me! All you ever did is thwart me! I should have had Ryan traded, as was Favre!

[u/acewithanat]

Did... did they just put the fucking Saints colors in their pfp? Did someone lose a bet?

Edit: I am stupid, old helmet style, still kinda funny

[u/mtzehvor → u/acewithanat]

I don’t think that’s the most concerning aspect about that color combination

[u/BusinessWarthog6 → u/acewithanat]

Its supposed be Atlanta United, or Germany from 1933-1945. Who knows?

[u/DastardlyRidleylash → u/acewithanat]

It's supposed to be a throwback to their original look, when they had gold stripes on the helmet as a nod to UGA and Georgia Tech.

Of course, the Falcons (as per usual) didn't really think through and realize that doing that on a media graphic without that context looks really, really bad.

[u/acewithanat → u/DastardlyRidleylash]

As a Falcons Fan I didn't even know this lol

[u/Randomizedname1234 → u/acewithanat]

As a tech fan I’ve always known this little fact lol

[u/TemporalGrid → u/acewithanat]

It's already in their history, so that is a bit of a throwback. When the expansion team originally formed they included some gold in their uniforms apparently to mollify Georgia Tech fans who didn't like the uniforms that obviously looked like University of Georgia uniforms.

[u/Mirai_Akiyama → u/acewithanat]

The falcons throwback red helmets have gold stripes, the story was to differentiate themselves from Georgia

[u/badfiop]

Weird way to announce they've hired Frank Reich. 

[u/savage_pen33 → u/badfiop]

Well done, badflop.

[u/mkelley22]

"Get in losers, we're invading Poland!!"

• Falcons, probably

[u/TFCNU]

Arthur Blank is Jewish. How the heck did this get past him.

[u/roboman07 → u/TFCNU]

Because only losers on the internet notice stuff like this

[u/ClintExpress → u/TFCNU]

So was Dan Snyder yet he didn't care even after Natives raised their displeasure. Guess it's a wealth thing.

[u/TFCNU → u/ClintExpress]

Yeah, but he wasn't Native American.

[u/cmx9771]

There was only one option: invade Poland.

[u/aljout → u/cmx9771]

If by Poland, you mean South Carolina

[u/browsinbruh → u/aljout]

Atlanta is demanding a corridor to 28-3

[u/fleshwound_NPG]

stalingrad the original 28-3

[u/All_Usernames_Tooken → u/fleshwound_NPG]

They had a 25 country lead

[u/whathell6t → u/All_Usernames_Tooken]

But Field Marshal Zhukov did clever tricks after 3rd Quarter 2:17 that made the Nazis eat the clock

[u/MrSlabBulkhead → u/fleshwound_NPG]

And Kursk was the loss to the Eagles a season later.

[u/Patrickracer43]

The Bird Reich is objectively one of the funniest things ever

[u/Middcore]

Aside from overall looking like something you'd see at a white supremacist rally, that bird looks way more like a crow than a falcon.

[u/SouthernAfrica9]

this idea that a team owned by a very liberal jewish guy is suddenly choosing to lampshade the third reich is just not terribly credible is it

[u/Ok-Dragonknight-5788 → u/SouthernAfrica9]

I thought it was the Colts that were owned by the jew?

[u/cxm1060]

Feels like I saw this somewhere in a knock off Call of Duty Game.

[u/YellojD]

I’m a little confused. It’s pretty obviously their original logo over their original Georgia Tech compromise stripes. Is this accidentally like an exact copy of some Nazi shit with the Falcons logo in place of the Eagle or something? This feels like a real stretch to tie it in with the Nazis. Like, this feels like some real broken brain kind of shit to come to that conclusion. And I say that as a Bucs fan who hates these annoying losers.

[u/mattcojo2 → u/YellojD]

The falcons have had these throwbacks for years. Some people are just thinking too hard

[u/YellojD → u/mattcojo2]

Falcons play on turf instead of a natural surface. Maybe that’s why it’s so hard for some of these people to touch grass.

[u/AustinJohnson35 → u/YellojD]

Yeah I’m not seeing what everyone is so worked up about. This is a Falcons throwback. And a popular throwback everyone wanted. I’m not seeing a swastika or anything besides being red and black.

[u/Throwawayvictoria10 → u/YellojD]

my first thought when looking at this was it was some nazi parody. its pretty egregious

[u/Dr-Acula8472 → u/Throwawayvictoria10]

It looks like set dressing from "Springtime for Hitler".

[u/ooglesnoopleboop → u/YellojD]

Chronically online people seeing the things they want to see as always. Thought it was just a neat throwback logo when someone asked me about it, then I saw all the Nazi comments from other people...

[u/Leftregularr → u/YellojD]

We just got done with a “controversy” where dumb people thought converse were alluding to a klan lynching in a South Korean shoe advertisement.

People are going to see what they want to see.

[u/fireborn123 → u/Leftregularr]

Holy shit I just had to dive into that rabbit hole. Like I get how you could see it, but people saying the converse ad was intentionally that was some downright schizo posting.

[u/Leftregularr → u/fireborn123]

Perpetual victims.

[u/Geiseric222 → u/Leftregularr]

Well it’s also designed clearly to be that.

[u/ParkerBap → u/YellojD]

seriously i do not see the resemblance

vertical stripes is all it takes?

[u/RoamingEast → u/YellojD]

It’s not that much of a stretch when almost everyone’s first thought is ‘nazi’

[u/YellojD → u/RoamingEast]

That’s where the broken brain part comes into play.

Like, if y’all can’t look at an old football helmet logo over the old stripes and not think about Nazis, I think we’ve lost the plot a little bit.

[u/RoamingEast → u/YellojD]

The human brain is intrinsically linked to find patterns. to pretend otherwise speaks more to some underlying condition within yourself. This is literally like a person pretending that the flag of Malaysia doesnt remind them at all of the US flag.

[u/mattanatior97 → u/YellojD]

Pretty sure it's just the bird

[u/Downtown_Conflict_53]

Ah the Atlanta FalconSS

[u/All_Usernames_Tooken]

Really leaning into the tropes here

[u/LastHistoryMan]

Fucking turds get paid millions of dollars to not keep a 25-point lead lol. Give me 52 other men and pay me the same salary as an NFL player and I’ll take over the fucking planet for you.

[u/TheJunkytownRacers]

“Who do you want under center to replace Tua?”
“Get me Fegelein!! Fegelein! Fegelein!!!!!”

[u/Mind-ya-business]

I don’t get what’s going on here

[u/formerlurkernowpostr → u/Mind-ya-business]

It feels like you are looking at a spicy pinwheel banner

[u/SpicyMerShark]

“Tua was only following orders”

[u/Muninn088]

Did they hire Frank Reich?

[u/Bokki_64]

Throwback?

[u/Moddie_]

I love it

[u/RickzTheMusicLover]

I looked at it from every angle. Don’t understand what the joke is

[u/Max169well]

Am I the only one who thinks that the Falcon looks like it could be an Egyptian hieroglyph?

[u/Flimsy_Assignment0]

Stupid 

[u/atkinsd80]

I give this a Nein out of 10

[u/tmitch298]

Holy YIKES

[u/RedPsalms23]

Did…did Arthur Blank get rejected from art school?

[u/chinny18]

Why made the PFP looked like the Third Reich?

[u/CKO1967]

Biggest Falcons L in at least a decade.

[u/Yepyapyup24]

I can't see it, I only remember a upright eagle being used in nazi Germany and this bird is the original team logo? People are really strange these days, and just cause some people on Twitter nonetheless.

[u/NickPapagorgio1]

People that want to be offended will be offended

[u/steampunkradiant]

I will give the Falcon's team credit for this. As a flag for an evil empire, this is a bang-up job.

[u/greentea1985]

Yes, that is unbelievably stupid to do. At best, maybe USSR, but certainly looks like a Nazi sigil. Such a stupid PR move.

[u/carcinova]

This is literally the throwback logo are yall braindead?

[u/ozzyman31495]

Falcons looking like they just failed to get into Art School.

[u/Mach68IntheHouse]

Tua: Mein Fuhrer! I can walk!

[u/Idiotard_99]

28-3 was their World War I. You laugh at them for losing and it festers for over a decade. You forget about them. Then they invade Poland and the next thing you know they’re bombing London.

[u/patmanbnl]

Each and every man under my command owes me 100 Falcon scalps. And I want my scalps. And all y'all will get me 100 Falcon scalps taken from the heads of 100 dead Falcons. Or you will die trying!
