Duncan Says No Uniform Changes

I wouldn't buy into any rumors about uniform changes. The Saints have one of the best and most recognized uniforms in the league. Tom Benson is a big fan of tradition and I don't think he has any desire to change the look. I count the Saints in the same number as the Cowboys, Packers, Browns, Lions, Raiders, Chiefs, etc., as teams that will never stray from tradition and change their look. And besides, any change requires the team to submit the application to the league a full year-and-a-half in advance so the league can prep merchandise vendors and marketing brands. If a change ever did happen the public would know about it well in advance of the season.

I still have hope...

for a slightly fresher look. I think Duncan is thinking about a major “change the helmet logo” kind of change. I wouldn’t mind seeing something a little different that helps players forget they are playing on a team with a very dismal history when it comes to winning. It certainly helped the Patriots, Broncos, and Buccaneers.

Go Saints!!!! Deuce may be gone, but he will never be forgotten.

Well, maybe not "certainly"

Better play and coaching is what got those teams over the hump. Still, I think the fresh look must have been somewhat helpful and motivating to the players.

Good

I like the uniforms. I just don’t like the uniform policy. For instance, I wish they’d take those stupid black leotard bottoms to the landfill.

White jerseys, gold pants. Save the black jerseys for away games early in the season in hot-weather locations. Yeah, that works.

RE-SIGN LANCE MOORE!

“We feel that our players are tough enough to wear black in any weather. It’s a statement, you see. A statement about our toughness. We’re very tough. Tough enough to wear black jerseys in bright sunshine, 90 degree heat and 90% humidity. Mr. Benson wears his black suit in solidarity. Why? Because we’re tough. It’s a message.”

Shockey me, make me feel better....
