The New Orleans Saints will be wearing black jerseys with matching black pants during their Week 12 game with the Carolina Panthers, the team revealed in a post from their official Twitter account. The Saints announced this week’s uniform combination with a video clip from Madden NFL 20 featuring wide receiver Michael Thomas, quarterback Drew Brees, and defensive end Cameron Jordan.

This black-on-black look has steadily increased in popularity for the Saints in recent years, so much so that it’s become their most-popular look since the 2017 season and earned a 14-5 record (going back to 2006, New Orleans’ record in this combination is 36-26).

For the curious and superstitious, here’s the win/loss record for each of the different uniform combinations the Saints have worn since Sean Payton was hired to coach the team in 2006. In the interest of full accountability, it’s worth noting that the Saints also wore hideous alternate gold jerseys during a 2002 game with the Minnesota Vikings, which they lost 32-31. Those jerseys haven’t been seen since, and were presumably burned.

  • White jerseys, white pants: 3-0 (1.000)
  • Color Rush alternates: 5-2 (.714)
  • Black and Gold throwbacks: 2-1 (.667)
  • Black jerseys, gold pants: 23-13 (.639)
  • White jerseys, black pants: 38-25 (.603)
  • Black jerseys, black pants: 39-26 (.600)
  • White jerseys, gold pants: 31-24 (.564)

Saints reveal jersey-pants combination for Week 11 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The New Orleans Saints will pair white jerseys with white pants for the third time, in their Week 11 game with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Send prayers and kind thoughts for the New Orleans Saints equipment staff, because the team is pairing their white away jerseys with matching white pants for the third time this season. They’ll square up with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the turf at Raymond James Stadium in their all-white uniform combination, which is sure to be a nightmare for grass stains. Good luck to them.

It sure appears that the Saints are phasing out the “gold” pants (honestly the color is closer to khaki) they’ve often worn in the past, preferring black pants in most of their recent games. They haven’t worn the gold pants with their white road jerseys since the 2017 regular-season finale, which happened to also come against the Buccaneers in Tampa. These white pants are sharp, if a little bland. A simple stripe or maybe a small fleur-de-lis on the outer leg panel would do a lot to improve them.

The Saints are undefeated in the white-on-white combination this season, having defeated both the Jacksonville Jaguars and Chicago Bears while wearing it in consecutive road games earlier this year. Here’s the win/loss record for each of the different uniforms the Saints have used since Sean Payton was hired to coach the team back in 2006, including the playoffs:

  • White jerseys, white pants: 2-0 (1.000)
  • Color Rush alternates: 5-2 (.714)
  • Black and Gold throwbacks: 2-1 (.667)
  • Black jerseys, gold pants: 23-13 (.639)
  • White jerseys, black pants: 38-25 (.603)
  • Black jerseys, black pants: 39-26 (.600)
  • White jerseys, gold pants: 31-24 (.564)
