The NFL\u2019s Atlanta Falcons rolled out a new logo on Wednesday and likely got an unexpected response from social media users who just may have a little too much time on their hands.<\/p>\n

The logo features a black falcon set on a backdrop of red, white, black, and gold stripes. For some fans, the new image invoked comparisons to Nazi Germany \u2014 imagine their surprise when they discover that the primary owner and chairman of the Falcons is billionaire businessman and The Home Depot co-founder Arthur M. Blank, who is Jewish.<\/p>\n

The falcon in the team\u2019s logo apparently reminds some people of the German eagle perched on a swastika, which adorned the back cover of a French edition of Adolf Hitler\u2019s book \u201cMein Kampf.\u201d<\/p>\n

Atlanta used the new logo as its online profile photo, but opted to change it to a photo of a red helmet with the new falcon on it, as seen here:<\/p>\n

Perhaps, with Nazism and fascism being a common political attack these days, social media users have Hitler on the brain \u2014 though some opted to have a little fun with the trumped-up controversy.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on X:<\/p>\n
