New Orleans Saints unveil alternate helmets for 2022 season
The Saints will be playing in-style in 2022. New Orleans already possesses some of the best uniforms in the entire NFL, but the franchise unveiled alternate helmets that they’ll be rocking for certain games.
Check out the alternate helmets, which feature a black base with the team’s logo printed on a stripe across the top.
With the NFL changing their stance on alternate helmets, the Saints are taking full advantage. While they’re the first team to do so, multiple other franchises are expected to follow suit.
For one, the Buccaneers have teased the return of their creamsicle alternates to Tampa Bay. Additionally, the Eagles could bring back their kelly-green uniforms, which fans in Philadelphia have been longing for.
Regardless, the Saints are entering a new era led by Dennis Allen and Jameis Winston, and their new look will help mark the occasion — even if it’s only for a couple of games.

More on New Orleans Saints
Quarterback Jameis Winston had some high praise for former Ohio State wide receiver Chris Olave, whom the Saints selected No. 11 overall. As the summer rolls on, the two seem to be building some chemistry, and the former Buckeye standout is already starting to impress.
“Smooth as the other side of the pillow,” Winston said, via The Athletic’s Katherine Terrell. “Just real smooth. He can get in and out of breaks very well. Electric, and smart, man. He’s a guy that’s always asking questions. He’s a guy that wants to know how you want it, and I really respect that.”
General manager for the Saints Jeff Ireland recently gave Olave even higher praise, comparing him to Hall-of-Fame wide receiver Marvin Harrison.
“We’d like for him to be a little stronger, and we got to put some strength on him and some muscle, but every time you would turn on the tape you would see Chris Olave making a play in that game. And I like that. And so he reminds me of some players that have played in our league, the Marvin Harrisons, that were just silky smooth and effortless,” Ireland said via Jeff Duncan of the Times-Picayune. ”And same body type. It doesn’t look like they were running fast, but when we turn on the clock, it’s like 4.3 (seconds). So there are some really good aspects to that player.”
