History of the throwback

The Falcons wore 1966 throwbacks for two home games in 2009 and again in 2010 through 2012. After the league’s one-helmet rule, they paired the throwback with the black helmet from 2016 to 2021 and brought back the red helmet in 2022. WSB-TV reported the team plans to wear it at least once this season, but we could not find a date. See the Falcons uniform history.

Throwback player styles

Our catalog lists the Bijan Robinson throwback Game jersey and the alternate throwback Limited style. For Michael Vick or Deion Sanders jerseys, check the listings, since their eras differ from the 1966 design.

Throwback vs. current jerseys

The new Falcons home is red with a black helmet, and the road jersey is white. The throwback is black with a red helmet, so it looks very different from either.

Pick the style, then the Nike tier, then the size. The Nike Game vs Limited vs Elite guide and the NFL jersey size chart cover both.
