Falcons, OutKast release ATLiens collection to celebrate album’s 30th anniversary

The Atlanta Falcons and OutKast have collaborated to release a special ATLiens Collection to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the influential album. This seven-piece collection showcases Falcons-themed adaptations of the original ATLiens album artwork in black and neon green, featuring a jacket, a 1996 jersey, two hoodies, a T-shirt, a hat, and a mini helmet.

The limited edition items will be available online and at Mercedes-Benz Stadium this Sunday when the Falcons take on the San Francisco 49ers. Big Boi will take the stage for a halftime performance, and additional surprises are in store throughout the day. Shannon Joyner, the Falcons' Chief Marketing Officer, explained that "ATLien" now symbolizes someone who genuinely embodies the essence of Atlanta, and this sentiment resonates with the team's fanbase.

OutKast launched their second studio album, ATLiens, on August 27, 1996, which achieved double platinum status. The album includes hits like "ATLiens," "Elevators (Me & You)," and "Jazzy Belle." Joyner emphasized that OutKast's music highlighted Atlanta's unique sound and story, which fans proudly represent when wearing Falcons gear.
