About the New Orleans Saints palette

The New Orleans Saints were founded in 1967 and compete in the National Football Conference of the National Football League. Their primary colour, Old Gold #D3BC8D, is a light, muted yellow.

The National Football League divides its thirty-two teams between two conferences, and uniform colour is regulated more tightly here than in any other major league: a team must register its colours with the league, and opposing teams are required to wear contrasting jerseys so that broadcast audiences can tell them apart.

Within the Southern Division the Saints face Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Those are the matchups where two palettes appear in one frame, so they are the pairings most worth checking for a clash.
