  • The Saints have been using a pale shade of “gold” for years now. Pretty much since the 80’s and 90’s. Even the pre-Nike “gold” was quite pale, it was just shiny. The only time we ever truly wore a rich, deep gold was our early years in the 60’s, 70’s, and early 80’s. Gayle has nothing to do with it. It’s just the color we’ve worn for years now. But I agree, we need to bring back the Color Rush gold.


  • I mean, we still have gold pants. The team just refuses to wear them for some weird reason. They wear them all the time in preseason and in practice, but bury them for the regular season.

    Also, nobody wants to say it, but our gold color pre-Nike was also (pale) “khaki.” We never called it that because it was shiny/metallic. I actually think Nike replicated it well, they just didn’t make it shiny. Go compare old photos and you’ll see. Plenty of college teams wear the same shade of “gold” we do now and theirs aren’t shiny either. Shiny pants are a thing of the past.
