Yeah, this is where we’re at: the New Orleans Saints’ season has floundered so wildly that we’ve reached a point where the discourse is more heated concerning helmets and jerseys (not to mention the footwear) than the product on the field. And the decision to pair alternate black helmets with all-white “Color Rush” uniforms during Monday night’s game with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers proved divisive.
Some fans dig the mismatched look, with each element boosting the other. Others decried it as “ugly,” “horrible,” and advising the team that “they should throw them in the trash.” It’s drawn a wide array of reactions. See for yourself:

These @Saints helmets…🔥🔥🔥🔥

The Saints season is alike like the unveiling of the black helmets. The hype was real (Saints releasing the helmet) and then the disappointment hit like a ton of bricks (Saints announcing the black helmets would be worn with all white uniforms)

Saints really managed to ruin the color rush unis with that helmet

To me, the worst part of this dumpster fire of a Saints season is ruining the best uniform combo in the NFL by wearing those helmets.
Good god they're so awful.

Saints helmets are awesome. If only they matched with black lettering on the jerseys

Those helmets suck. The whole kit sucks. This city is so flashy and fashionable, it doesn’t represent it well. #Saints

I’ve decided not to have feelings about the Saints when they wear the black helmets. Not the same team.

I been so disillusioned by the Saints, I forgot to talk about how cool these helmets are.

i can't with those black Saints helmets, they are #notgood
— “Reasonable” Kevin Tompkins (@ktompkinsii) December 6, 2022
It looks like the saints stole someone else’s helmets and wore them. Who signed off on that
— Calvin (@FlockCwood) December 6, 2022
The #Saints can’t even be good in the uniform category. Somehow they’ve taken one of the best color schemes in the NFL and butchered it with these black helmets. 🤢 We are down bad as a fan base…
