New Saints Uniforms Look a Lot Like the Old


The NFL took a break from targeting the Saints today to release new uniforms for all 32 of its teams. Seeing as how the Boys in Black and Gold are still, in fact, a member of said league, their uniforms were included in the "Elite 51" update. Unlike during their college football redesign that caused such a stir, Nike clearly took care not to change any of the looks too drastically. Only the Saints themselves will likely notice the change, the ligher weight of the game wear, and the “system where the baselayer, padding, jersey and pant work in concert with each other.” Pierre Thomas will clearly be disappointed that there’s no pouch designed for Christmas bows.
