Recent report reveals when the New Orleans Saints will unveil their new alternate uniform and helmet and what they may replace

The addition of Kellen Moore, a new coaching staff, and a potential fresh starting quarterback won't be the only pieces of the New Orleans Saints that could be different this season. According to recent reports, the Saints are going to get a new uniform this summer. 

According to multiple sources, the Cleveland Browns, Los Angeles Chargers, New Orleans Saints, Pittsburgh Steelers and Washington Commanders will all unveil new alternate helmets this summer, confirming a previous report from FanDuel’s Zach Cohen.

Details are limited at this time, so it’s unclear if the Browns, Commanders and Saints will introduce a new shell color or simply tweak their existing alternate designs. But one thing for certain is that the Chargers and Steelers will finally add a second shell to their respective closets, leaving the Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs, Las Vegas Raiders, Los Angeles Rams, Miami Dolphins and San Francisco 49ers as the only teams without a second shell.

Now, we've got even more information on the new look for the black and gold. They'll be garnering a new alternate helmet alongside the uniform.

New details on new Saints alternate helmet and uniform

Via SportsLogos.net, the Saints will reveal a new alternate helmet and uniform on July 22nd. That's just ahead of the first practice for New Orleans' training camp schedule. 

Our sources have indicated the New Orleans Saints will introduce a new alternate helmet and uniform on the following day, July 22. The latter is especially notable because it will replace either their 1967-68 throwback uniforms or their Color Rush design, which is effectively the road version of the throwback set. An old gold helmet makes sense, but it’s unclear which uniform would be replaced (or why it would change). -- Andrew Lind

 

This change is particularly interesting because the color rush uniform is arguably the best look for New Orleans right now. Swapping that one may get plenty of backlash from the fan base. 

Meanwhile, a new helmet has been a piece of the puzzle that many folks have asked about for years now. The Saints missed the mark with their current alternate black helmet. This one needs to look much, much better with a uniform combination than that one. 

Regardless, expect more Saints uniform news later this month. Plenty to come.
