My cousin moved into a home that an Atlanta professional football player had owned. It was black & red inside and had a huge conversation pit with a fire pit in the middle. I thought it was the coolest thing back then, about ‘77, now not so much lol.

The red & black scheme is what I have a problem with now but back then I thought it was awesome.

But those are the colors of like all of Atlanta's teams ... what's wrong with black and red?

what's wrong with black and red?

Other than the association with the worst kind of wannabe-goth-adjacent middle school dork?
