love the subtle nod to Georgia Tech in the Atlanta helmet

think he might be referring to the fact that back when the falcons first came to atlanta, tech fans complained the falcons looked too much like UGA with their color scheme. To appease them in the 70s, they added a gold stripe on their helmet. They stopped doing it shortly thereafter, but their throwback uniform still uses the gold stripe
