The Falcons, it appears, may have kept their primary colors while updating their uniforms for 2020. It would be next to impossible for them to go away from the classic combination of black, red and white.

That's not to say those colors are arranged in the most appealing way, at least based on a supposed leak of the new outfits.

The team on Tuesday afternoon teased the official unveiling, which is scheduled for April 14:

RIVERA: Bucs' new/old non-Creamsicle look is uninspiring

Not long afterward, out went this tweet:

Twitter hilarity ensued, of course, including galaxy-brain claims that those were fakes.

There were also sentimental takes on Falcons uniforms of the past.

And the requisite "I can do better."

Gotta say, this concept combo is clean. It's certainly better than a jersey with the gradiant blotch at the bottom — if that was a real leaked jersey, of course.
