ATLANTA (April 24, 2003) - The excitement generated on and off the field in 2002 continued today when the Atlanta Falcons unveiled their new uniforms and helmets during a rally with fans at the Mall of Georgia.
Falcons chairman, president and CEO Arthur Blank was joined by quarterback Mike Vick, linebacker Keith Brooking, running back Warrick Dunn, defensive end Patrick Kerney, wide receiver Peerless Price and tight end Alge Crumpler to showcase the team's new look.
" We are very excited to unveil a fresh new look for the Falcons, " said Blank. "Similar to the new Falcons logo we introduced last month, this new uniform reflects input from fans and players, and it signifies our team's strength, speed and personality."

The team will wear black jerseys and white pants during home games. On the road, they will don white jerseys and white or black pants. These jerseys and pants have red piping down the side, which expands at the knee for a fast, streamlined look. The white pants are a change from the silver pants for a cleaner and brighter look.

The new helmet is a black metallic flack, as compared to the previous flat black-colored helmet.

The jerseys will have "Falcons" stitched at the neckline in a newly developed font and include a number font that was designed specifically for the Falcons, consisting of a drop shadow for more depth. The black jerseys will contain white numbers with red trim, and the white jerseys will contain red numbers with black trim. The new Falcons logo will appear on the sleeve of both jerseys on a red background.
