The Uniform Issue
 

I had watched a commercial for Madden '08 where they had Reggie Bush in the game. I had noticed that the team's gold pants was missing that familiar solid black stripe down the middle. I was wondering if this is there official uniform config or that was just for the game.

Speaking of pants, I wonder if the might come out with white pants (something the team hasn't worn since the '85 season) without the stripes.

Throwback idea: Since this will be the Saints' 20th Anniversary of their first winning season (1987), I wonder if they would break out the '86 unies for just one game.

One note: Those black pants the team wore in 1999 (the one with the gold stripe) was "UGGALEE!!!". Thank God they didn't bring them back!!

You do know you can change the style of the uniforms in the game right.

not sure but my friend noticed the same thing

lol I like the fact they have Reggie talking at the end of the ad
Go Saints!!!!!

P.S. I like the jerseys
They were some of my all-time fav’s :cool: ;)

I remember the year the Texans came out, those rendered Madden unis looked way better than the official ones. The Saints players prefer all black.

just a little note...this year the saints will be wearing the all black unis at home...and on the road they will be wearing the white jerseys with the gold pants.

You know, now that I think about it if memory servers me correct I don't think the game allots for you to edit the pin stripe

Maybe that’s why you can’t see the black pin stripe
You only have 3 strip types to choose from on the pants

Haz used to say the opposition couldnt tackle us as well when we had the all black unis, due to them being tighter. What a crock of crap. LOL!

AWESOME!! I thought they looked awesome last year with all black. I think the helmet should go black as well and make the fleur bright gold!! But thats just me. ;0)

I too noticed the stripe-less pants in the commercial. Truthfully, Saints uniforms in games are always wrong for some reason. Year after year I'll catch an error here or there.

I thought the all-Black was the best look. It is my favorite look in any uni. I like the Grambling All-Black also.

No White Socks!!!

yeah, all-black unis (does make Hollis Thomas look 30 pounds lighter)

Love the all black look.

Any thoughts on the black pant, gold jersey combo? They're interesting, I like them and dislike them at the same time.

This is an interesting piece of information... when we wear our away jerseys I've always preferred the gold pants to the black. I think the fact that the helmet is gold is the reason why.

I'm not a huge fan of the all black home uniforms - I think it's because the NFL requires the socks to be "mostly white" and that ruins the look. If you could have all black socks it would look pretty sharp. I don't know if you guys remember but back in like 2002 we had a meaningless Sunday Night home game against the Redskins and both Joe Horn and Ricky Williams wore all black socks and shoes (even though the team was wearing white socks and shoes that year) and took the fine just because it looked cooler.

I like the black unis also but I think they could use a little something

I used the uniform editor in Madden to come up with this
I would personally like to see them do something along these line with the black unis...

I also like the gold ones but I think they would look a lot better with some black on them like this...

I know it's only wishful thinking but it doesn't hurt to dream
:cool:

I wonder if there would be any way we could turn the helmet black?

we should just copy Vandy's uniforms.

They are so sharp - they use like 12 different variations - black jersey, white jersey, gold jersey with black pants, white pants, and gold pants.

Mix those babies up and you'd never wear the same combo more than twice a season.

I think that combo could only work if the helmet is black and the fleur is gold. That would look SHARP!

the gold jersey / black pants combo would look a lot better now that the team wears black shoes.

back in 2002 the bright white shoes looked freaking RIDICULOUS.

IMHO the gold helmet is fine - that's not what threw it off, it was the shoes.

I'm talking about getting a black helmet for the all black jerseys. That'd look tight.

You know what your right
Now that I see it
I must say that would look sweet

I don't know about the all black unis with the black helmet
and I'm not saying that because I don't think it would look good but just the opposite I personally think it would look awesome
but I think in the end it would end up looking like the Falcons unis and I would hate for us to be mistaken like that :)

I have posted in the past that your concept of the black unis is exactly what we need. I think an all black uniform with a nice gold stripe from armpit to knee on both sides would be the absolute coolest thing for the Saints uniform. I love gold but what has always made the uniforms stand out was its use of black.

I just bought 2K8 Pro Football and created my team. I think I came up with a killer gold and black combination for my team...the "Bulls". I think the Saints would look real nice with the setup I created. I even put Hilliard and Martin on my squad! Anyhow.....my 2 cents on the unis.
