Photo: This Sith is no Saint … or is he?

Mike Sweeney, a photojournalist for The Pueblo Chieftain in Southern Colorado, captured this shot of a certain Sith Lord showing his support for New Orleans (and hatred for breast cancer) at Sunday’s Broncos-Saints game at Sports Authority Field in Denver. It’s just one of many great game photos you can see in Sweeney’s slideshow here.

What evil schemes do you think this Sith Lord is communicating to his master?

(Someone pointed out on Twitter that it looks more like Maul’s brother Savage Opress from The Clone Wars animated series, but it could also just be Maul in a Saints color scheme. I’m OK with either interpretation — it’s just cool.)
