I took the Saints New Orleans outline logo from their past, replaced their fleur with the City Flag Fleur, and inverted the state to black. Same color scheme as their modern uniforms but with revised Decals. Would you wear this jersey or put this helmet up on a shelf?

As the NFL continues to evaluate its options and make every game more memorable by introducing alternate helmets, jerseys, and international venues, we could see something very close to this concept emerge someday. The New Orleans Saints have already introduced their wildly popular Color Rush jersey set and debuted controversial alternate helmets, but this concept art for City Edition uniforms from Dubya Design’s Jonah Ward is a great step in the right direction. There’s also a great use for the fan-favorite Louisiana state patch the Saints have used before, which Ward placed on the helmet: “I took the Saints New Orleans outline logo from their past, replaced their fleur with the City Flag Fleur, and inverted the state to black. Ward’s choice of font is a close match to the iconic streetcar signage found in the city. The detailing along the sleeves recalls the ornate wrought-iron railing you’ll see on balconies throughout the French Quarter, and most critically the gold is actually, well, gold - not the mismatched khaki tones you’ll see in some Saints uniforms. Ward writes, “Paying homage to French architecture with the sleeves, a subtle nod to (Mardi Gras) in the sleeve pattern, trolley fonts for the numbers, ‘The Big Easy’ in a Vintage French-esque font, the 3 fleurs in the collar mimic the city flag.” Pairing black jerseys with matching pants and a clean gold helmet, Ward took influence from some of New Orleans’ best-known iconography to design the new kit. Major league basketball and baseball teams have rolled out alternate uniforms to better connect with their home communities, so when will the NFL join them? The New Orleans Saints have already introduced their wildly popular “Color Rush” jersey set and debuted controversial alternate helmets, but this concept art for “City Edition” uniforms from Dubya Design’s Jonah Ward is a great step in the right direction.
