What does the Atlanta Falcons stand for?

You might be referring to what the name actually means.  Most names of NFL teams came from contests, where local fans would submit a name and a reason.\n\nThis particular name was chosen from a schoolteacher in Atlanta, 'Miss Julia Elliott, was selected winner because of her reasons: "The falcon is proud and dignified, with great courage and fight. It never drops prey. It is deadly and has a great sporting tradition."'  This was in 1965.\n\nThey have only recently (1998) made the Super Bowl for the first time, and the general sentiment about them is not that they are a powerhouse team in the NFL.  But they have had vey competitive seasons lately, and they are certainly currently on the way to forging their name amongst the elite teams.\n\nAs far as what they want people to think, I think only that they are fierce competitors with a lot of southern pride.

The Boston Braves moved to Atlanta in 1952, so we have the Atlanta Braves.  Here's a website:\n\nhttp://www.baseballlibrary.com/baseballlibrary/ballplayers/B/Boston_Braves.stm

Vick is a talented tailback (not qb)but the lions dont need to be as sorry as the falcons.  The defense can stack up against atlanta because there is no threat of the pass.

People in Georgia are proved of our family history. The confederacy stand for state the want to fight for the state rights. We get mad about people who do not know what the confederacy is about. If you are talk about the old Georgia flag issue then we was mad for change a flag for a small group of people did not like it.

History Of The Steelers Logo\n\nThe Steelers logo is based on the Steelmark logo belonging to the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI). Created by U.S. Steel Corp. (now known as USX Corp.), the logo contains three hypocycloids (diamond shapes).\n\nIn the 1950s, when helmet logos became popular, the Steelers added players' numbers to either side of their gold helmets. Later that decade, the numbers were removed and in 1962, Cleveland's Republic Steel suggested to the Steelers that they use the Steelmark as a helmet logo.\n\nWhen the Steelmark logo was created, U.S. Steel attached the following meaning to it: Steel lightens your work, brightens your leisure and widens your world. The logo was used as part of a major marketing campaign to educate consumers about how important steel is in our daily lives. The Steelmark logo was used in print, radio and television ads as well as on labels for all steel products, from steel tanks to tricycles to filing cabinets. \n\nIn the 1960s, U.S. Steel turned over the Steelmark program to the AISI, where it came to represent the steel industry as a whole. During the 1970s, the logo's meaning was extended to include the three materials used to produce steel: yellow for coal, orange for ore and blue for steel scrap. In the late 1980s, when the AISI founded the Steel Recycling Institute (SRI), the logo took on a new life reminiscent of its 1950s meaning.  \n\nThe Steelers had to petition the AISI in order to change the word "Steel" inside the Steelmark to "Steelers" before the logo was complete.\n\nThe Steelers are the only NFL team that sports their logo on only one side of the helmet. At first, this was a temporary measure because the Steelers weren't sure they would like the look of the logo on an all-gold helmet. They wanted to test them before going all-out.\n\nEquipment manager Jack Hart was instructed to put the logo only on one side of the helmet - the right side. The 1962 Steelers finished 9-5 and became the winningest team in franchise history to date. The team finished second in the Eastern Conference and qualified for the Playoff Bowl. They wanted to do something special for their first postseason game, so they changed the color of their helmets from gold to black, which helped to highlight the new logo.\n\nBecause of the interest generated by having the logo on only one side of their helmets and because of their team's new success, the Steelers decided to leave it that way permanently. \n\nToday's helmet reflects the way the logo was originally applied and it has never been changed.

They have a chance to be in the Super Bowl because they have a great running back and a super strong defence. Go Hawks.\n\nThey will probably play New England
