Saints announce uniform combo for Week 1 kickoff at Falcons

Saints announce Week 1 uniform combination for Falcons rivalry game:

The New Orleans Saints are going with their winningest uniform combination for their 2022 season opener with the Atlanta Falcons. The team announced Friday that they’ll be wearing white away jerseys with matching white pants in their Sunday road game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Historically, team captains have voted on each week’s uniform combo, though it’s unclear if that tradition is continuing under Dennis Allen. In any event, this is a strong look, with the record to match. The Saints have won 8 of their 11 games in this specific combo. If there’s any complaint, it’s that the pants are a little plain. A black-lined gold stripe running down the edge would do a lot to strengthen its overall appeal.

If you’re curious, here is the win-loss record New Orleans has achieved in their various uniforms, dating back to 2006:

  1. White jerseys, white pants: 8-3 (.727)
  2. “Black and Gold” throwbacks: 2-1 (.667)
  3. “Color Rush” alternates: 9-5 (.643)
  4. Black jerseys, gold pants: 24-14 (.632)
  5. White jerseys, black pants: 42-26 (.618)
  6. White jerseys, gold pants: 37-24 (.607)
  7. Black jerseys, black pants: 46-33 (.582)
