illini1 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 I'm new to this board so maybe this has been discussed before. Why do the New Orleans Saints have three different colors of gold on their uniforms. Their helmets, jerseys, and pants are all different shades of gold. Surely they could work with Reebok and the helmet makers to get this correct. Their pants is one of the lightest shade of gold I've seen and the gold on their jerseys some of the darkest. I really like the color of gold on their jerseys. If they could use that shade on their whole uniform I think it would look really nice. Can anyone provide any info on why they have different colors I would appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winghaz Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Ironically, teams wearing old gold and black had little success this weekend at the Metrodome. First Purdue, then the Saints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saints' (and Cowboys') color discrepancies has, in fact, been discussed at great length.[old man sitting on an old front porch] The man you're looking for goes by the name "PANTONE". He's 8 feet tall if he's an inch, I tells ya. Shock o' black hair, dark as ink. Eyes to match. No one's ever seen him, but if you search for him, you'll find him... *puffs on corncob pipe, resumes whittling* [/old man sitting on an old front porch] "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17.

STL FANATIC Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 It has been discussed before, but oh well.Anyways, the Saints situation is far different from the 'Boys as far as I'm concerned.The Cowboys seriously have about 3 shades of silver and 2 or 3 shades of blue.The Saints really just have one shade of gold. The Saints problem is that their selections for the available material colors don't lineup with their official shade of gold. It's more like the Vikings problem with their helmet and jerseys never matching until they switched to mettalic helmets.The Saints goal is to match, they just don't.The Cowboys have 3 different shades of silver and they do it on purpose.

ShaftDu Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 the only one thing bothering me about the Saints isn't the gold. I just wish for the love of man they get rid of the white stripe on their hemlets. It seems so out of place with no other real thing of white.

tajmccall Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Stupid. The fact that they mean to mismatch the golds is beyond me.The Cowboys is another thing.The saints have so much potential for coolness, and its squandered.

Blue Falcon Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 What aboot the gold that the Saints used to wear from '67 to about '75? It was more of a mustard shade of gold, but the pantone colors don't list it. Maybe it wasn't on the helmet so much, but it definitely was on the pants.
