Saints reveal new black helmet (merged)
I'm in the company that prefers the black helmet go with the all black set. The reason why our 'color rush' set is so popular is because of the amount of gold that pops out against the white. The black in that set is minimal and just enough to pronounce what it's intended to. Pairing the black helmet with the color rush and (supposedly) all black socks just kills that aesthetic that made that set so popular amongst NFL fans, not just our own.
I would hope that we make the color rush our permanent away set and utilize the black helmet strictly with it's own new alternate uniform. HOME: Gold Helmet, Black Jersey, Gold Pants. AWAY: Gold Helmet, White Jersey (CR), White Pants (CR). ALTERNATE: Black Helmet, Black Jersey, Black Pants.
