Make sure to follow the dress code, even if you’re watching from home: the New Orleans Saints announced that they will be wearing black home jerseys with matching black pants in their Sunday kickoff against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, going with their most-common uniform combination from the 2019 season.

The Saints went 5-2 in the black-on-black look a year ago, so they’ll be hoping to recapture some of that same success in their season opener. Superstitious fans put a lot of faith in these sort of things, so here is how the win-loss record shook out for each combo in 2019:

1. “Color Rush” alternates: 3-0 (1.000)
2. White jerseys, white pants: 5-1 (.833)
3. Black jerseys, black pants: 5-2 (.714)
4. Black jerseys, gold pants: 0-1 (.000)

And for the curious: here are the total win-loss records for each uniform combination worn back to 2006 (except for the funky gold jerseys worn during a 2002 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, which Cameron Jordan wants to try out):

1. White jerseys, white pants: 5-1 (.833)
2. “Color Rush” alternates: 6-2 (.750)
3. “Black and Gold” throwbacks: 2-1 (.667)
4. Black jerseys, gold pants: 23-13 (.639)
5. White jerseys, black pants: 38-25 (.603)
6. Black jerseys, black pants: 41-27 (.603)
7. White jerseys, gold pants: 31-24 (.564)
