Winless in their black helmets, Saints reveal new alternate version

The New Orleans Saints will be patrolling in new domes during the 2025 season, for a few games anyway.

The team introduced a white helmet into its uniform closet Wednesday. It features the familiar fleur-de-lis logo in gold, golden face masks and a gold stripe down the center of the helmet with more fleur-de-lis embossed onto it. Unlike the team’s black alternate helmet, there is no tapering effect. Two thinner black strips border the gold one. There are also black flecks adorning the white shell, giving the helmet a slight resemblance to vanilla ice cream (maybe for those who like it atop their King cake).

The black helmet has been occasionally worn – but not widely embraced by the fan base – since its introduction in 2022.

The league’s relaxed restrictions for wearing alternate helmets provide options for the Saints. However they did announce Wednesday that they would use the white helmet with their Color Rush uniform, which features a white jersey and white pants with black and gold trim and gold numbers.

The black alternate helmet had been exclusively used with that white-over-white combination, worn four times over the past three seasons but never in New Orleans. The Saints are 0-4 in those games. However the black one could now be paired with the club’s black jerseys and, presumably, black pants.

The Saints have officially hopped on a growing trend of teams adding white helmets to their inventories. Sixteen of the NFL’s teams – exactly half – utilized a white primary or alternate helmet at some point during the 2024 season, the Green Bay Packers, Jacksonville Jaguars and Minnesota Vikings among those who introduced them as new alternatives.

The Saints, along with every other team, will be permitted to wear alternate and/or throwback uniforms a combined total of four times this season.
