Thomas Morstead is one of the team captains who votes each week on the New Orleans Saints uniform combination, and the Pro Bowl punter took time Friday to announce their upcoming pick: black jerseys with matching black pants. It’s been the most-popular look in the Sean Payton era, worn in 73 games since 2006 (including the playoffs).
This will be the 29th consecutive game the Saints have played without using their gold pants, which were also a fixture (91 games) until quarterback Drew Brees injured his throwing hand while wearing them in a Week 2 game with the Los Angeles Rams last year.
