She's stupid if she wants to use two of the major colors of the saints..

Will drastically cut into the sales of the new merchandise if people can wear the black and gold they already have to a game.

This is probably true....but you understand the severity of their suckness nevertheless.

Stern and the PC NBA wouldn't allow this. I don't really like it either to be honest.

It's like if a Muslim league franchise became the Baluchistan Bombers. Their Commissioner the Most Holy Abu D'Aman Rajii would never allow such a slight to his western counterparts.

Those colors sound good to me. Anything that isn't Mardi Gras colors for the love of God. The best possibilities with that are unfortunately taken by the Utah freaking Jazz, so it's time to move on from it.

If they go with Red, black, and gold, I will buy very little merch. That's a really ugly combination.

I disagree that it's an ugly combination. I think they compliment each other well. However, nothing about those colors says "New Orleans" or Louisiana to me. The whole point of a rebrand is to make it more "New Orleans"...so why Purple, Green & Gold isn't at the top of her list baffles me.

Gross and dumb. Not only would that be hard to produce a jersey that wasn't hideous, it would severely cut into merchandise sales, as people would just wear Saints gear to games (which many already do). Not a good idea.

One of the teams on Any Given Sunday was called the Knights and used this color scheme. I like the names Knights, Crusaders or Cardinals. Also like our current colors though.

When I saw the color scheme, the 'Saders were the first team that popped into my head. As Benson is an alum (Aloysius), the colors and name make sense.
