Black shirts and gold pants. Has to be! They look great and very intimidating! I still keep thinking about that hit they put on Warner, the next time he saw a Saints player after he got up, as far as he was concerned they were wearing Rainbow colours, LOL.

Other meanings are a bag of weird stuff meant to protect the wearer from bad spirits. Nowadays it has morphed into meaning all kinds of stuff, some of it good. It was also a newspaper way back in Baton Rouge. I think an LSU student paper but its kinda fuzzy. |

I knew it can be good. Otherwise, why would people go to Marie Laveau to buy a bag of gris-gris? In modern WhoDatian usage it seems to include all kinds of charms: (see link) http://blackandgold.com/saints/21848...gris-year.html my wife actually got a fortune cookie that said, "Your sports team will succeed this year." I am not making that up. |

Question for you Saints fans: What do you think of teams that wear black when black is not one of the team colors?

And I don't mind "alternate" black uniforms when black is a team color, but I think it is lame when teams that have never had black in their uni's just decide to wear it b/c they think it looks cool. |
