Did Falcons take a shot at former Panthers QB Cam Newton?

By Erin Walsh  |  Last updated 4/8/20

The Atlanta Falcons revealed their new uniforms Wednesday, and to be honest, they're not the best. They may be slightly better than the Los Angeles Rams' new look, but they still are not great.

Once the Carolina Panthers, one of the Falcons' NFC South division rivals, got word of what Atlanta's new uniforms looked like, they couldn't help but troll them.

Of course, the Falcons responded:

Are the Falcons trolling Cam Newton, or are they trolling the Panthers for releasing the  three-time Pro Bowler and one-time MVP? Perhaps they are saying the Panthers should've never drafted him in the first place.

Who knows? Either way, the beef between the two teams will make for some pretty exciting games in 2020 — assuming there is a season.

For the record, the Panthers haven't defeated Atlanta since 2017.  The Falcons also lead the decade in wins over Carolina with a 14-6 record. 

If they wanted to troll the Falcons, maybe the Panthers should've used Super Bowl LI instead. Just a thought.
