The New Orleans Saints announced Friday that they will be debuting a new look for the 2020 season in Week 12’s road game with the Denver Broncos, pairing their white away jerseys with matching white pants. This was a popular uniform combination for the Saints during the 2019 season, when they wore it six times (including the playoffs, notching an impressive 5-1 record).
It’ll be a tough test for the Saints equipment staff; the Broncos play on Kentucky Bluegrass at Empower Field at Mile High, notorious for the stains it can leave on white clothing. But they held their own last season against that same species and similar strains, so the Saints should have their gear cleaned and ready for whenever they use it next.
And here’s what you’ve been waiting for: the win-loss records for each combination used by the Saints since Payton was hired to coach the team back in 2006, including the playoffs and Super Bowl XLIV. As you can see, the white-on-white look boasts the highest winning percentage in recent memory:
- White jerseys, white pants: 5-1 (.833)
- “Color Rush” alternates: 7-3 (.700)
- “Black and Gold” throwbacks: 2-1 (.667)
- Black jerseys, gold pants: 23-13 (.639)
- Black jerseys, black pants: 45-28 (.621)
- White jerseys, black pants: 40-25 (.615)
- White jerseys, gold pants: 31-24 (.564)
