The Atlanta Falcons will have red helmets for at least one game this season.
The helmet will be back for the Falcons Week 6 game against the San Francisco 49ers at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
The red helmet, which will have a gray face mask, will be worn with the team's black jerseys with white numbers and red trim. The helmet will be the same as the original, with a black stripe down the middle.
The gold-streaked design was created to honor the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech, according to the Falcons.
The Falcons released a video of A.J. Terrell saying that he can't wait to put this one on. It is very rare to see a red helmet with a gold stripe down the middle, so I am excited to put this one on.
He wanted to keep the helmet he modeled for the team's social media feeds and website instead of giving it back because he was so excited about it. He imagined putting his visor on the helmet to complete his look.
Atlanta can wear these helmets again because of a change in NFL policy in 2021, which will allow for a second piece of headgear to be worn this season. The Falcons wore red helmets twice per season until they stopped wearing them.
