The New Orleans Saints revealed their Week 16 uniform combo on Wednesday, announcing that they will be wearing their “Color Rush” alternates on Christmas Day against the Minnesota Vikings.

Barring special permission from the NFL office, teams are only allowed to wear alternate uniforms three times each season, so it’s the third and final time the Saints will be using the iconic jersey-pants pairing in 2020, having previously broken them out in prime-time games with the Las Vegas Raiders and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

For the superstitious fans out there, the Saints are 1-1 while wearing “Color Rush” jerseys this season and 7-3 all-time, lending a winning percentage of .700. That’s the second-highest rate of the Sean Payton era, dating back to his hiring in 2006. See how it shakes out for yourself:

  1. White jerseys, white pants: 6-2 (.750)
  2. “Color Rush” alternates: 7-3 (.700)
  3. “Black and Gold” throwbacks: 2-1 (.667)
  4. Black jerseys, gold pants: 23-13 (.639)
  5. White jerseys, black pants: 41-25 (.621)
  6. Black jerseys, black pants: 45-29 (.608)
  7. White jerseys, gold pants: 31-24 (.564)
