Heading into a new era with Kellen Moore taking over as head coach, the New Orleans Saints are making some stylistic changes to their uniform for the 2025 season.
The Saints unveiled their new white and gold helmets on Wednesday.
The white helmet will be a much better match when the Saints use their alternate uniforms. They introduced an alternate black helmet in 2022 that clashed with the color rush uniforms.
New Orleans brought back the traditional all-white uniforms and gold helmets for its Week 16 game against the Green Bay Packers last season.
Per Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.football, the current plan is for the new white helmets to only be worn with the color rush uniforms.
It’s unclear if the black helmets are going away, but the Saints might be looking to change the vibes because that look wasn’t working for them. They have an 0-4 record in games with the black helmets, with the most recent loss being a 26-13 defeat against the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium in Week 7 last season.
The Saints could use all the positive mojo they can get coming off a 5-12 record in 2024. They haven’t made the playoffs since Drew Brees’ final season in 2020.
Moore was hired in February after winning a Super Bowl as offensive coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles. This will be his first stint as a head coach after seven seasons as an assistant in the NFL.
