When you see the Atlanta Falcons Jerseys, you will think of Atlanta Falcons. Atlanta Falcons is a famous team. It has a very long history. The date June 30, 1965, always will be remembered as both a termination and a commencement in the history of Atlanta sports. For on that day the end came to the many and disparate struggles to place a professional football team in the Southeast's key metropolis. At the same time the Atlanta Falcons were born and began a storied tenure in the National Football League.
All that had gone before--the successes (an $18 million stadium to play in) and the near-misses (aborted attempts to place other franchises in the city) -- was set aside for the immediate business of fielding a team in little over a year's time. Prime mover in this task was Rankin Smith, a young insurance executive who had controlling ownership of the Falcons.
Once the stadium, Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium, was built, Atlanta’s felt the time was ripe to start pursuing professional football. One independent group which had been active in NFL preseason promotions in Atlanta applied for franchises in both the AFL and the NFL, acting entirely on its own with no guarantee of stadium rights. Another group reported it had deposited earnest money for a team in the AFL.
With everyone running in different directions, some local businessmen worked out a deal and were awarded an AFL franchise on June 7, 1965, contingent upon acquiring exclusive stadium rights from city officials. NFL Commissioner Pete Roselle, who had been moving deliberately in Atlanta matters, headed on the next plane down to Atlanta to protect his league's claim on the city of Atlanta. He forced the city to make a choice between the two leagues. Of course on that memorable June 30 Rankin Smith and the NFL were the choice.
The huge void which had been the Southeast without an NFL team was beginning to close. Fans were looking now toward Atlanta. The Falcons expect to be filling that void for a long time.
A new chapter in the history of the team that players all wear Atlanta Falcons football jerseys began on December 6, 2001. On that day, Arthur M. Blank, the co-founder and retired co-chairman on Atlanta-based Home Depot, reached a preliminary agreement with the Falcons' Taylor Smith to purchase the team. In a special meeting prior to Super Bowl XXXVI in New Orleans on February 2, 2002, NFL owners voted unanimously to approve the purchase. Then, on August 27, in Columbia, South Carolina, the Falcons recorded their first victory, defeating the San Francisco 49ers, 24-17, in a preseason game.
