Be sure to wear your “Sunday best,” because the New Orleans Saints will be. The team announced their Week 10 uniform combination for Sunday’s game with the San Francisco 49ers at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in an email to season ticket holders: black jerseys and matching black pants.

It’s the fifth time the Saints have used this combo in 2020, having twice paired white jerseys with black pants and worn their “Color Rush” alternates in two games. Brand-new linebacker Kwon Alexander said Saturday that he’ll be playing “full go,” against the team that traded him to New Orleans just weeks ago, and he’ll be wearing No. 58.

And here is the record for each uniform worn by the Saints since Sean Payton came to town in 2006, for the superstitious (or those who are just a little stitious):

  1. White jerseys, white pants: 5-1 (.833)

  2. “Color Rush” alternates: 7-3 (.700)

  3. “Black and Gold” throwbacks: 2-1 (.667)

  4. Black jerseys, gold pants: 23-13 (.639)

  5. White jerseys, black pants: 40-25 (.615)

  6. Black jerseys, black pants: 44-28 (.611)

  7. White jerseys, gold pants: 31-24 (.564)
