The Saints tried to wear black helmets a few years ago but got shot down by the NFL because there were already too many teams with black helmets. Sorry, won't happen.


I heard this too. Maybe a while back on SR from somebody conversing with a rep from the Saints HOF? Don't hold me to this. Something about the Saints wanting to completely re-brand for the 2006 season. Supposedly this was in the works before Katrina. They thought about changing the uniforms, helmets, and team font. Then Katrina hit & Tagliabue said no b/c everybody identified too much with the traditional look, especially the helmet.
