The New Orleans Saints announced this week’s uniform combination on their official social media accounts Thursday. Despite traveling to face the Dallas Cowboys in AT&T Stadium, the Saints will be wearing their favorite home kit: black jerseys and black pants.
The reveal came with a brief clip of Saints defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins celebrating a sack on the midfield star logo in Dallas’ home turf, simulated in EA’s “Madden NFL 19.”
The Cowboys primarily wear their classic white uniforms at home, which opens the door for the Saints to dress for a funeral away from the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, all in black. But the Cowboys will take it a step further and wear their all-white Color Rush alternates:
This is shaping up to be a fun primetime game with a set of awesome uniform combos contrasting out on the field. For the superstitious, the Saints’ winning percentage in the black-on-black look is .560. Here’s the breakdown for each variant:
- White jersey, gold pants: 33-18, .647
- White jersey, black pants: 88-56, .611
- White jersey, white pants: 3-2, .600
- Black jersey, black pants: 23-18, .560
- Black jersey, gold pants: 40-48, .455
