What was the winningest Saints uniform combo of the modern era?

It should feel strange to turn the page on an era in New Orleans Saints history, but that’s something we’ve gotten used to. So many franchise cornerstones have hung it up in recent years: quarterback Drew Brees, defensive back Malcolm Jenkins, and even head coach Sean Payton. Payton’s tenure in particular saw great success for the Saints — he led them out of the NFL’s basement, built an offense that Brees used to become one of the best passers of all time, and put Jenkins in position to captain a defense that became the team’s strength.

More than all of those contributions, though, we’ve got to consider what the Saints were wearing. Everyone knows their sick jerseys and iconic uniform combos were what won all those games and set all those records. Right?

Jokes aside, it’s fun to keep up with arbitrary stats like this. And things are going to change with the advent of new black helmets to be used in select games this season. With the Dennis Allen era dawning before us, let’s look back at the record New Orleans achieved in each of their different uniform combos dating back to Payton’s hire in 2006; a milestone that helps mark the modern era of Saints football.
