ATLANTA -- The Atlanta Falcons will finally wear their Nike Color Rush jerseys for the first time Thursday night at Mercedes-Benz Stadium when they host the New Orleans Saints.
Teams began wearing the Color Rush jerseys on Thursday Nights, but last season the Falcons didn't get to wear theirs when they traveled to Tampa Bay. That's because the two teams' red Color Rush jerseys were too similar. Typically, both teams get to wear their Color Rush jerseys regardless of who is home and away.
