It's Morphin' Time: Twitter sees White Ranger in Saints' 'Color Rush' unis
The "Color Rush" uniforms the New Orleans Saints will wear for the first time Thursday night look a lot like the attire sported by the White Ranger of "Power Rangers" fame.
It's a connection a lot of Twitter users were excited to share, as if they were the first to notice:

The Saints themselves also made the comparison, and somewhat bizarrely tried to credit themselves as being the originators of the idea (which they aren't):
Did you know our #ColorRush looked like the White Ranger?

Credit to us for being the first to think of this! 😊

Since the entire point of "Color Rush" uniforms is that they are a large block of color, most are pretty easy to compare to Power Rangers, among other things:
