Here we go: the New Orleans Saints have revealed their Week 18 uniform combination, choosing to wear black jerseys and matching pants in their regular season finale with the Atlanta Falcons.
This specific all-black uniform combo has been worn in more games since 2006 than any other; the Saints have achieved a 53-37 record while wearing them, including the playoffs. But that’s a win percentage of just .589 which lags behind their record in some other kits.
If you’re curious (or just a little superstitious), here’s how that compares to the other uniforms used since 2006 (not including the controversial gold jerseys used in a loss back in 2003):
"Black and Gold" throwbacks
Record: .800 (4-1)
White jerseys, white pants
Record: .706 (12-5)
White jerseys, black pants
Record: .603 (44-29)
White jerseys, gold pants
Record: .597 (37-25)
Black jerseys, gold pants
Record: .585 (24-17)
Black jerseys, black pants
Record: .589 (53-37)
"Color Rush" alternates
Record: .500 (9-9)
Black jerseys, white pants
Record: .000 (0-1)
