After giving some time, I like the helmet. The only critiques are the pattern angling towards the back. Honestly, the could have used the pattern as stripes to match the gold helmets. The biggest problem is the NFL rule itself. Why let teams have the opportunity if they can only use it sparingly? If there was no rule, we could do a lot more from game to game. Maybe this is the chance to bring the gold jerseys back.

Meh… so many cool things could have been done with a new black Saints helmet, but this is pretty weak.

Hopefully they only wear them once and then trash them

not in love with it... looks like we're trying to compete with the falcons for worst dirty looks.

Awesome they finally have the black helmet. Just not with color rush uni. All black or gold pants black jersey is the way to go.

I think it's the dumbest possible move to mess with the color rush uni. I would love to see the team play with a black helmet, black jersey and gold pants. Maybe they can think of a new colour rush uni, but I´m afraid they plan on using the helmet with the color rush they already have (since that was what Cam alluded to).

Not sure why, but in the Photoshopped renditions posted in this thread ... the new black helmet looks a lot better with white jersey/black numbers than with the white Color Rush jersey (which has gold numbers.






The opposite probably applies, too -- if wearing black jerseys with the new black helmet, white numbers should look better than gold numbers.

Just wear them for inside games
Anyone who's worn a dark football helmet in the blazing sun knows what I'm talking about. They'd be fine for days between 30-55 degrees outside

Is that a sign we're going to the Super "BOWL".

It proves the point that they could have chosen to modifiy any other outfit color scheme and it might look decent, but they decided to mess with the wrong one. I´m sure they've heard the fanbase loves the colour rush uni. If it ain't broke...

This helmet, despite obvious questions about the stripe, with the all black unis is what I've been wanting to see.

I'm down for the all black look, too, but I think the white jersey w/ black numbers and black pants will be the best look combo with the black helmet.

The dawn of a new NFL season has brought with it several triumphant announcements from teams eager to show off their new lines of looks.

Thirteen teams have announced their plans for new alternate or throwback helmets ahead of the start of training camps across the league.


Teams are again allowed to feature multiple helmets in a season after nearly a decade of being restricted to just one, the result of a 2013 rule the NFL implemented for what it said were player safety reasons.

Last year, the league reversed course on that mandate, and starting with this season, teams may once again sport alternate headwear.

Given the robust discourse that always surrounds new uniforms, we thought it was appropriate to weigh in with some rankings. The new (or old) helmets are listed in order from best to worst…..


11. New Orleans Saints
The Saints’ regular helmets are one of the best in the NFL, and the alternate look doesn’t quite match the standard. New Orleans’ statement fleur-de-lis logo is paired with a stripe of tiny ones that are hard to make out……
