Complete Saints uniform history! (2 Viewers)

What really doesn't show on these images is the size of the numbers in the 90s.

TV wasn't high-def, and they had HUGE numbers on them so that they were clear on your set. I was watching an old videotape of a game from back then and this is what really jumped out at me.

I kind-of like it that way. It makes the player look really big, even if they are a little blocky.
 
Just once, I'd like to see an all black uni with a black helmet and gold fleur-de-lis. Once.
 
Bring back the white pants

Saints didn't just lose. They lost in a most gut-wrenching manner.

Oh and '75 all-white uni's ftw.

I completely agree. I would love to see this.

That 2009 uniform is pretty sweet. Especially the very awesome special game patch. :9:
 
I actually love the gold jerseys. IMO, the uniform would have looked better with a black helmet. I think the clash of the two different shades of gold is what made the uniform not look good.
 
My problem is the gold we use now looks faded and washed out , I love the old rich gold of the 60's uni's. Where the pants and helmets matched. Loved the gold #'s on white as well as on black , plus the stripes on the sleeves , I'd be happy going throwback for an entire season , maybe for the 50th season we should
 
Compared to some of the other shade`s,I actually like the Gold we use.IMHO.

I like the old gold pants, black jesery and black helment of 1969.
 
Dome Patrol uniforms were my favorite. It was a classy traditional uniform. Loved the Louisiana patch on the pants and sleeves. It was great to see it brought back back in 2006. I wish it wasn't just a one year thing with the La. Patch.
 
I did concepts for our uniforms and hoped to have the team use them on their site because the ones that's up now are just plain atrocious. I did as much background checking on the accuracy of each set, including tweaks where applicable and these are what I came up with.

1967-68
- Inaugural uniforms and our current throwback choice
- Some players wore reverse stripe colors (white/black/white) instead of black/white/black

1969-74
- Solid black numerals on white jersey / Solid white numerals on black jersey
- Additional stripes added to the sleeves
- Sock stripes change (not matching the sleeves)
- The team wore '68 throwbacks for the last 5 games IIRC
- The team wore the infamous 'illegal' pre-season black helmet
- NFL 50th Anniversary patch worn the entire year by all teams
- Team switches to short sleeved, full mesh jeseys
- Gold is lightened from 'mustard/old' to 'old gold metallic'

1975-82
- Traditional gold pants are ditched in favor of a white and black pair
- Gold collar on the black jersey / Black collar on the white jersey
- Sock stripes changed but only matches the black jersey
- Team switches to black face mask
- Numbers on both jerseys now outlined in gold
- TV numbers move from the shoulder to the sleeves
- Team switches to V-neck collar

1983-85
- Team switches to 'San Diego' style double outline around the numbers
- Sock stripes are eliminated in favor of solid black
