Another classic rivalry with expected uniforms. I like the red pants, personally, but I understand those were Lamar Hunt’s favorite combination.

Carolina at Atlanta
I’m more of a classic fan when it comes to uniforms, but surprisingly, I don’t mind Carolina’s all white and I really like the Falcons red. Not too shabby.
