Saints Getting New Alternative Helmets

These would go well with gold jerseys and white pants with the black and gold stripe down the side.

Gold Helmet x Black Helmet x White Helmet x Blackout Helmet x Gunmetal Helmet

Gold Jersey x Black Jersey x White Jersey x Blackout Jersey x Gunmetal Jersey x Color Rush Jersey

Gold Pants x Black Pants x White Pants x Blackout Pants x Gunmetal Pants x Color Rush Pants

And you mix and match combinations from there. This is one of the best color schemes in sports. Capitalize.

Plus we need updated versions of our throwbacks where the gold matches on all the apparel.

The NFL limits the use of non-standard uniform usage to four times per season with either an alternate or throwback making up those four games. It was only three games prior to this season. It's not really up to the Saints as far as diversity .... it's mandated by the league.

Seattle has the Blue, White, Neon Green, Gray, and a Throwback. We should have a Black, White, Gold, Gunmetal, and a Throwback even if we rarely get to wear them. It's definitely a missed opportunity.

You can have primary regular home and away jerseys and pants. You can have Alternate which is the color rush ... white for us and neon for Seahawks. And you can have a Throwback.

They look ok I think. The important thing is all the black helmets with the fuggly fleur de lis checkerboard go straight to the landfill.

We'll be the best looking sub .500 team in the NFL!

What? Why would we not have a winning record?

Kinda like these whitey helmets.

It's one the blessings of the Saints' logo, the FDL. It looks great in many iterations, permutations and colors.

It was a joke Guido. We all know this team has the potential to have a winning season despite the oddsmakers, naysayers and historical data to the contrary.

I hope we are the Commanders of 2025.

Back to the helmets. I'm all for whatever gets the players motivated to demolish opponents. If it's a new helmet or a new coach or a new flavor gatorade... just do it.

Will the new alternative helmets help the Saints perform better on defense?

Giving up over 360 ypg isn't good enough :rolleyes:

Could we have jerseys with a 28-3 patch?

That would be awesome. Would they wear one that says Minneapolis Miracle?

We were at the game where the 610 Stompers did a 28-3 formation at halftime.

The all white looks too bright and not the least bit intimidating like a darker uniform. When I started playing rugby everyone wore white shorts. Forty years later we wear black because it just looks tougher.

The all black look is much too close to the Falcons uniforms to suit me. The white helmets don't appeal to me as much as the gold does though. I like things that are old school and I like our throw back uniforms the best.

Are you sure y'all didn't switch to black shorts to hide the stains? :D
