The parties are prepped. The commercials are cued. The fans have completely taken Houston — as an Austinite, you can have it, by the by. Super Bowl LI is Sunday, and that means it's time to give the teams their theming due. Only one team may walk outta Texas with a ring, but both teams and their fans can deck their phones in these simple, sporty themes on their Android phones.
So, I say again: are you ready for some football?
Atlanta Falcons
If you told me at the beginning of the season that the Atlanta Falcons would be in the Super Bowl, my response wouldn't've been "Who??". In addition to delicious, delicious Coke and terrible, terrible traffic, Atlanta also has a pretty good football team, and a color scheme after my own heart: black, white, silver, and a beautiful blood red.

New England Patriots
The New England Patriots are one of the best teams in football and they've got a lot of rings and titles to show for it. They're also got a lot of scandals over the last twenty years to show for it, too, from recording teams they could beat easily anyway to Deflategate. But it's the Patriots!! The Patriots have have one of the best names in the league and the best colors: Red, White, Nautical Blue, and New Century Silver. New Century Silver should've been a Pixel color. Just saying.
PATRIOTS! TO THEMES!
