ATLANTA, Oct. 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Continuing its long-standing partnership with the Atlanta Falcons, Equifax Inc. (NYSE: EFX) announced today its sponsorship of an online voting experience that allows Falcons fans to select the greatest moments in the team's 50-year history.

The "Greatest Moments in Falcons History" voting platform (www.atlantafalcons.com/50) is separated into four categories: Milestones, Players & Plays, Games, and Off Field. Moments are pitted against each other in a bracket-style system, with fans voting for their favorite moments until the championship round ends on December 15.

"Equifax is proud to continue our partnership with the Atlanta Falcons as we move into the fifth year with the organization," said Trey Loughran, Chief Marketing Officer at Equifax. "Through this fan voting experience, we not only have the opportunity to celebrate the illustrious and rich history of the Atlanta Falcons, but also provide valuable education and helpful information to consumers about the importance of monitoring their credit and protecting themselves from identity theft." 

The Falcons and Equifax first became partners in September 2011. That announcement marked Equifax first NFL sports team sponsorship in its then 112-year history.  In addition to the voting, fans are also invited to enter a sweepstakes in which the winner will win two 2016 Falcons season tickets. The sweepstakes end January 5.

"We are thrilled to have Equifax as a partner and this unique interactive voting platform allows fans the opportunity to celebrate 50 seasons of Atlanta Falcons football," said Jim Smith, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing & Revenue Officer of the Atlanta Falcons.
