The New Orleans Saints organization unveiled the new black helmet for the 2022-23 regular season. The Saints debuted a black helmet in 1969 during the preseason. 

 According to Crescent City Sports, "then owner John Mecom Jr. had the team wear black helmets with a gold Fleur De Lis logo for a preseason game. The stripes on the helmet were also reversed as two gold stripes flanking a white stripe in the middle."
