Falcons Launch Sleek, High-Performance Uniform Designed for Speed and Agility
About two years ago, Joey Galioto joined a meeting overlooking the Falcons’ practice fields at IBM Performance Fields. The topic was the team’s uniform redesign that will debut in 2026.
Equipment voice in design
Galioto serves as the Falcons’ head of equipment operations. His day job centers on helmets, pads and jerseys in the locker room.
He pushed to ensure equipment staff needs shaped the new gear. He also acted as a conduit for player preferences.
Player feedback guided choices
Coaches and players provided detailed input on fit, feel and on-field functionality. The feedback emphasized a classic appearance with modern performance.
- Fit and mobility
- Comfort throughout game day
- Durability and ease of use
- A timeless yet modern aesthetic
Design goals and performance
The organization aimed for a sleek, high-performance uniform designed for speed and agility. Designers balanced that requirement with a timeless visual identity.
Players wanted to feel comfortable from the moment they donned the kit until they removed it. Functionality remained the top priority for equipment staff.
Internal collaboration
Former quarterback Matt Ryan praised Galioto’s role in gathering player perspectives. Team leaders credited the equipment office for rigorous outreach to players.
Where things stand
The Falcons expect the new look to appear in 2026. Work on details and testing continues with players and equipment staff.
