Nothing says we\'re gonna kick your asss like a French Flower! ;)

The Fleur de Lis
 

The flower itself is not so scary, but this part might make you think a little if you are a Saints\' opponent!. :cool:

The Fleur de Lis
 

maybe that would explain what Gleason was trying last year.

Yeah knew what the logo ment... on my family crest sits 5 of them.

The one interesting note however is the relations of the Egyption circumcision... which I seem to suffer every Sunday during football season.

I actually love it... and we are the only professional sports team with a flower as its logo.

I also thing that a star logo is gay.

The fleur de lis on the Saints helmet , according to the media guide released by the New Orleans Saints . lists the interpretation as , if memory serves me well .

Purity , Light and Life .

For football i would prefer pain, destruction, and victory

Its not that bad... I mean we could be the Dolphins... please.

The Fleur de Lis
 

Dolphins are better than the Browns. Ravens subsist on decaying roadkill. Nothing cool about that.


I think the name Saints implies that we\'ll benevolently hand out wins to teams in need, and career games to the chosen ones.

We need a name like the Vipers. I want us to strike early & often, while our opponent flops about in agony. Yeah
:mad:

What are considering a name change here??? I don\'t think so... I like the name Saints... its perfect for our area. Would have been cool to have Voodoo in the NFL, they way they play you would think that is what we should have called them.

Jazz was a good name to come out of New Orleans.

The Fleur de Lis
 

that\'s pretty cool...but wasn\'t it at one point a mark of the death penalty-like you were branded with it if you got the death penalty? or is that just in the movies?

The Fleur de Lis
 

No I think you are refering that to the Nazi\'s and Jews thing... It was a letter but dont\' recall what it was.

The Fleur de Lis
 

I think Saints would\'ve been better for our baseball or basketball teams. Football needs more aggressively named teams. I thought the Jazz & Voodoo were nice for our area. Wasn\'t sure about those Breakers.

The Fleur de Lis
 

The Browns are definetly the worst name in football.
Everytime I am about to take a dump I tell my coworkers I am going to take the Browns to the Superbowl.
It gets em laughing every time.

The Fleur de Lis
 

no-that was a J i think..what i\'m refering to is what they said on 3 musketeers about the fleur being the mark for a prisoner condemed to die. ..maybe just hollywood though.

:beatnik:

That might explain the franchises existance up to this point . A long and slow agonizing torture before death .
