Falcons under fire as new logo draws Nazi…
The Falcons may need this one back.
The franchise shared their new logo Wednesday — a black falcon set on a backdrop of pink, white, black and gold stripes — and set it as their profile image on X. Some followers have been fast to examine the image to one thing linked to Nazi Germany.
Thus, many NFL followers went on to torch Atlanta for comparisons to the World War II German eagle logo.

“I give this a nein/10,” one fan posted on X.
“I must say, I was not expecting to wake up this morning to see that the Atlanta Falcons are preparing to invade Poland,” another wrote.
A 3rd commented: “I did Nazi this coming.”
Others went on to create photos, changing the Nazi Germany flag with the Falcons’ new logo. One also put Adolf Hitler in a Falcons logo hat.

Yet, some Falcons followers have been more involved with what’s going on on the sphere in Atlanta.
“Can we get a Profile pic of us Winning a Game,” somebody commented on the group’s Instagram post.
A second wrote: “Go find us a cornerback, a linebacker, two tackles.”
“If we were actually a good team these pics would be so much harder,” another said.
As of late Thursday afternoon, the Falcons had switched their X profile picture to a pink helmet with a falcon on it, which they’ll be carrying on Sunday.

The Falcons are 2-4 this season and tied for second in the NFC South with the Saints behind the Panthers (3-2).
The group hosts the undefeated 49ers (6-0) at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.
Atlanta signed quarterback Andy Dalton on Monday after he was launched by the Eagles on Oct. 9 and declined to return to Philadelphia after Jalen Hurts was going through his roller-coaster blood clot points that ultimately ruled him out for the season.
In doing so, the Falcons launched Cooper Rush.
