The Saints do have a great aesthetic
Have always felt like we are good but should be doing better tho, it's such an amazing color combo. This is a step in that direction
Best dressed fans in the game imo
Infinitely better than the black helmets
Minority in our fanbase, but I dont hate the black helmets. But they had to be worn with the color rush unis and that looked terrible. If they were worn with the regular black jerseys, or even our black throwbacks, it would have been much better
Wish the helmet didn't count as an alternate rule, but also just wear the color rush twice and the all black with the helmet once maybe ?
I think there was a misconception with alternate helmets having to be worn with alternate uniforms. The Panthers have worn their black helmets with their regular black jerseys, it was just designated as an alternate game, meaning they could only wear their blue alternates twice instead of three times. Unless the Panthers got a special exemption for some reason that I am unaware of, there was nothing stopping the Saints from wearing the black helmets with their regular black uniforms.
It was reported that some teams did have to ask for an exemption to the rules, like the Bengals when they wanted to pair their white helmet with their road primaries. Not sure why the Saints never bothered to ask.
Weren't yalls worn with your all black uniforms? That would be considered alternates
They've worn them 5 times, three times with black uniforms, twice with blue. It's considered an alternate game which teams are allowed 3 of each year, but they can be worn with either a primary (black) or alternate (blue) jersey.
Yeah those were such a dissapointment
I hate to say that I like these helmets a lot
Both of our teams have unreal color combos and too frequently don't make good use of them. This against yalls throwbacks is a must
Yea true, a matchup of these helmets vs the Falcons red helmets would look amazing.
Seeing it in my head now and it would be the most stylish game in the NFL that day
Wait if everyone is just now announcing new unis, maybe it's not too late for us to announce the throwbacks full time?!
I hope it's not at least. 2 of our franchise greats are calling for it and JJ Watt.
That’s hot
This plus our color rush is gonna go so hard it'll almost make me forget how ass we are
The moment I see Taysom in this…. good lordy

The NFL easing up and allowing alternate helmets is one of my favorite things.
They look like UCF.
rippin' cigs
Well UCF does pretty consistently have excellent uniforms and helmets, so there are worse things than that similarity.
If we look like UCF then y’all look like the Chiefs.
If you watch the NFC Championship and Super Bowl back to back, you might see some similarities.
Arch gonna look good in those all whites.
Speak it into existence
Ohhhh definitely an upgrade
Yes lawd
I really like this a lot better than the black helmets they did.
Even if the black helmets are technically historic.
These are gonna look so good with the color rush. Top 5 uni incoming
Saints gold number jerseys are one of the best looks in the league. This is the finishing touch.
Always bothered me they would wear the black helmets with color rush.
They love the black jersey black pants combo. Why not go full blackout with the helmet?
The NFL said so is why.
Agreed. It just did not fit with the color rush unis
Made so much more sense when we finally wore a black helmet with our blackout uniforms instead of all black with a stupid silver helmet.
As they were already top 3, you're suggesting a step down
With the black helmet they were def not top 3
saints unis suck. pants look like leggings.
Yeah that’s fire
Icy
Clean
Fresh
Insert any other buzzwords you can think of for a white helmet.
First one in, last one out type of helmet.
That helmet is nastyyyyyy
Thanks for protecting all the child abusers!
The Saints:
You don’t care about the victims you just wanna point score against a rival team. Sad
Which is worse?
Point score against a rival team over child abuse or supporting the team covering up said child abuse?
You are again demonstrating that you don't actually give a shit. It's all about getting one over on the Saints.
Gayle Benson should be stripped of the teams. I've shouted that from the rooftops and will continue to, and I'm not buying anything Saints related until she's gone. Sorry for being born in New Orleans I suppose. Arthur Blank's done plenty of bad things, and he hasn't done anything to get Gayle Benson out of the league that makes him so much money, you'll stop supporting the Falcons right?
While not a great look, doesn't your quarterback openly support conversion therapy and anti LGBTQ foundations?
Penix would NEVER
“But but but 28-3!!!”
Am I doing this right?
No
How bout ya'll go sit in a corner together and count all those Superbowl trophies you have.
"Yeah we cover for pedophiles but at least we won a football game!"
If Saints fans have to be labeled a supporter just due to our owner then y’all also have some explaining to do. The rest of the league in general honestly and every other sports team in existence.
I’m not sure why it has to be explained like that but it does.
Don’t really understand when people think bringing in owners is some sort of diss. Unless if you’re actively supporting greedy billionaires, fans don’t really have much of a choice in who owns their teams.
As a fan of the Earthquakes, I know this even more.
I hope you’re not an A’s fan too for your own sanity…
Yankees. So yeah the complete opposite of terrible ownership.
It’s such weirdo behavior that y’all use this as a sports diss tbh
It's disgusting and y'all should make a bigger stink about it.
Do you think that a stink wasn’t made? Do you think we haven’t wanted Gayle Benson removed as owner? You tell me exactly what fans are meant to do. Tell me point by point, what happened and what you expect people on Reddit to do about it. And I guarantee you only bring it up as a diss.
Edit: Matter of fact, why are you still watching the NFL? They’ve condoned this, they’ve condoned rapists, they’ve condoned racism. Have some conviction and quit watching football.
A stink was raised. It’s not up to us and the vast majority of fans want Gayle out, It’s also clear you only care bc you can use it to dunk on us, because literally none of you say anything about this issue unless it's in the context of the Saints ownership
"We suck ass." No buts.
Thank you.
Not mad about this development at all.
Purdue cosplay. Let's hope they play like it too.
Clean
White for white's sake is often becoming the new black for black's sake, but this is a very nice integration of a white alternate, actually. White and gold with a bit of black trim for contrast, that's a worthy alternate look for the Saints. The fleur's in the gold stripe are nice touch, and I think the gold facemask was the right call too.
The one thing that I find freshest is the slight dotting going on. You can't see it from afar, so it's useless on tv, but I like the concept. It's not JUST a clean white, it's FRENCH vanilla. C'est la Nouvelle-Orléans, comme c’est approprié!
Are they gonna still wear those dumb black helmets? These and their gold are excellent
Best uniforms are the saints black and gold then 49ers red and gold imo
Im inclined to agree on both counts.
I wish KC would do some cooler alts.
Every year, I watch some other team unveil something awesome looking, and all we have is the Dallas Texans alts.
The burden of pretty much getting it right (or as close to right as possible) on the first try - not much room for improvement.
The chiefs are too elites to try anything new
Think about it this way: usually teams that come out with new unís/helmets typically are bad teams that need to drum up fan interest (like the Saints). Also, sometimes the new designs kind of suck (like the Broncos new primary jerseys from last year). Sometimes new designs are cool but sometimes they suck too
They got the vanilla bean drip! 😆
Thank God I don't have to see Derek Carr in one of these
White looks way batter than the black version
So is that like French Vanilla white with the little flecks of black in it? Did I see that right?
Yep. Speckle lids
white helmets in general are about as boring as it gets, but this one works with the gear that I presume they'll wear it with and looks decent.
now please stop going mono black at home.
Full White Power Rangers
One of the only good things I can say about the New Orleans Saints is they have a classic, clean uniform they have more or less kept consistent for years. I can no longer say even that.
This is ugly as hell.
The creamscicle is overrated
I could not agree more.
Same. It's a nice look, but the red and pewter is superior.
Black and Gold are such cool colors yet the Saints seem to fuck it up every year.
Bruh the gold stripe looking like Casino carpets with the Saints monogram 😩
Thats what they said after Catholic priests thanked them for helping cover up pedophile scandals
Downvote all you want, I'm still right
Did the New Orleans Catholic Church send out a thank you tweet or something?
As an Eagles fan, I've been thanking the Saints for years. Also, dope unis.
"The Eagles are 1-3 in playoff appearances against the Saints"
Ok....yeah I just meant I was appreciative of the trade that got us Jalen Carter.
Not really sure where all the hostility is coming from 😂😂😂
Now do Thank you, fans.
The font is fucking hideous. The rest is fly as shit.
but how do they pronounce their name?
the saints or lay sahn (les saints)?
🤡
Everyone going all White after the Bengals huh? First they steal Who Dat, now this.
Wrong on 2 accounts
I'm only on one account though lol
We may lose but we'll look cool doing it
Especially in our white power ranger 2018 color rush uniforms
Your white what?!
He’s the one with the pointy helmet and robe.

Next time the Jets and Saints play each other, call it the Tommy bowl

Ok fine… 3rd sharpest
Aura farming while winning just enough games to not get the top pick
what does aura farming mean
i know what an aura is
i know what farming is
dunno wtf aura farming is
It just means "trying to look cool"
thanks for the explanation, i appreciate it
that’s idiotic. i’ll go yell at some clouds now
I'm also an old man. But aura farming is probably the only new slang I actually like.
i mean it’s better than fizz
Go be a browns fan
I don't see 5 wins on y'all schedule lol
That's not flying! That's falling...with style!
These are too hard. I really can’t hate on them. Damn you.
Yeah no need to figure out who will actually be the quarterback on day 1, just make sure you have the coolest helmet
