At 5-6, the New Orleans Saints haven't given up their postseason dreams quite yet. With two games left against the Buccaneers and one versus the Falcons, the opportunity to make up ground stands in front of them.
Regardless of whether Drew Brees is able to guide the Saints back to the playoffs, they can hang their hat on being one of best dressed teams in the NFL on the field.
Unlike many of the Color Rush uniforms that have drawn the ire of analysts and fans alike, New Orleans' white and gold look was almost universally revered:
Bring. It. On. #Saints50

50th anniversary look
This week, when the Saints play host to the Detroit Lions, the team will don special 50th anniversary throwback jerseys. Yesterday, the team released the designs, and so far, the reaction has been positive once again:

Given the reception they've received for both of these uniforms, the Saints should seriously consider switching to them full-time. Their current designs are fairly bland, and they haven't received a large makeover in quite some time.
If New Orleans wore these jerseys on a regular basis, their jersey sales would go through the roof. Even if a modern touch is added, the color schemes have already proven to be much more popular among their fans and NFL fans in general.
