THE SAINTS ONLY WORE GOLD JERSEYS ONCE VS MINNESOTA IN 2002. THE STORY GOES PAYTON WANTED TO WEAR THEM IN 2008. SO THEY TOOK ALL THE UNUSED GOLD ONES FROM 2002 AND MADE ALL THE JERSEYS FOR THE 2008 TEAM TO WEAR FOR A GAME.
APPARENTLY THE NFL DIDNT ALLOW THEM TO HAVE A 3RD JERSEY SO THEY WERE NEVER WORN. I GOT THE STORY FROM SEVERAL TEAM EMPLOYEES AT THE TIME SO I TEND TO BELIEVE IT.
