The New Orleans Saints are going with a tried and true uniform combo in Week 5’s home game with the Seattle Seahawks: the team announced Friday that they’ll be pairing their black home jerseys with matching black pants for Sunday’s kickoff. It’s a good, clean look that they’ve gone to frequently during the modern era — wearing the black-on-black combo in 80 regular season and playoff games dating back to 2006.
For the curious, superstitious, and sickos out there, here are the win-loss records the Saints have achieved in each of their different uniform combinations since 2006, ordered by winning percentage:
- White jerseys, white pants: 9-3 (.727)
- “Black and Gold” throwbacks: 2-1 (.667)
- White jerseys, black pants: 42-26 (.618)
- Black jerseys, gold pants: 24-15 (.615)
- White jerseys, gold pants: 37-24 (.607)
- “Color Rush” alternates: 9-6 (.600)
- Black jerseys, black pants: 46-34 (.575)
