Only worn in the preseason.
I had a poster that had a picture of Al Dodd wearing one of these helmets. I always thought the black helmets looked awesome.

The patch of mini fleur-de-lis is frickin' ugly as shite!
The fleur-de-lis on each side of the black helmet is cool but gett rid of the ugly shite!

In 1969 Saints owner John Mecom Jr. Wanted a new look for his team's third NFL season. Since their inception, the Saints had worn beautiful gold numerals on white or black jerseys, gold pants and gold helmets with a black fleur de lis symbol on each side. But they were about to make the most controversial and short-lived uniform change in their history. For the 1969 pre-season, Mecom sent his troops out wearing black helmets with a gold fleur de lis on each side. It was a mistake. To begin with, Mecom had failed to register the black helmets with NFL office. The league's entire line of merchandise represented the Saints with gold helmets, so the league wouldn't license the black helmets. Faced with pressure from the league office, and poor fan response, Mecom quickly decided to scrub the idea. He found himself with a locker room full of black Saints helmets. At the time, the NFL was still operating a type of farm system as feeders for NFL clubs. The Saints' farm team was the Richmond Roadrunners, coached by J.D. Roberts, who in 1970's would replace Tom Fears, becoming the Saints' second head coach. Mecom shipped the entire batch of black helmets to Richmond, and the Saints were back in their familiar gold helmets for the 1969 opener against Washington.

Done correctly
There is no better combination of black, gold, and white
Do y’all know the history of the Saints colors?
Go ahead and research it.
The Saints gold helmets are the best in the history of football
I repeat
The Saints Gold helmets are the best in the history of football
But go ahead
And try your best to frick that up

Mecom's father was an oil businessman..
Oil is called black gold...
Hence the black and gold colors..

Great but I am sure that will only cause us to get more damn penalties
