Thanks to Sean Payton's lost bet, Saints to sport popular color rush jerseys vs. Eagles
 

Remember when New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton lost that bet in the offseason to Philadelphia Eagles coach Doug Pederson?

Long story short, Payton was paired with Pederson in a charity golf match at the NFL meetings in March. Rather than settle on a buck-a-hole or something mundane, the coaches agreed to bet traditional home colors on the outcome. After a three-hole carryover, Pederson came out on top.

As a result, the Eagles will wear their home green jerseys when the two teams face off at 3:25 p.m. Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

The Saints, on the other hand, will wear their color rush jerseys, which have become quite popular among fans.

Payton also donated $5,000 to the Autism Challenge in Philadelphia.

So, really, are there any losers in this bet?

I was at the game in the dome last Sunday (Saints Rams). Alcohol and the Saints shop is a dangerous combination for me. I picked up a Kamara color rush jersey while perusing (the place was jam packed). I think they are some of the sweetest unis in the NFL.

Not going to matter what we wear. But glad they scrapped this one.

My wife flipped out when she heard about this in the off-season, but now that she knows the Saints will have their Color Rush on she's actually happy about the lost wager. Me, I'm more of a classic jersey guy.

I have heard a few of the talking heads mention that they think we have the best color rush jerseys and I also agree. Don't feel like a lost bet to have to wear them to me.

I'm not crazy about them, but at least they aren't hideous like most other teams color rush jerseys.

Absolutely love our color rush kits.

The Saints fans should do a Penn State-style whiteout in the Superdome!
