Bull,colors picked are attractive for marketing generating their own gold

If that was the case, shouldn't they look like LSU's?

God nooooooooooooo. Colors and symbols, back then were picked for city. Marketing tshirts and stuff was not the issue. players were making about 45,000 for the season back then on average, if that. Times were different as was the mind set. So was the game come to think about it.

I didn't know that either. Come to think of it, that didn't even cross my mind.

Thanks Tobias, and Joe. That is exactly what I meant.

Guys, I love oil. If it wasn't for oil, I couldn't drive my Jepp and fourwheeler.

No problem, some just read what they want to into every post. I knew what you meant.

My bad. I apologize in advance. I see, you mean ashamed to call yourself a Saints fan because you didn't know that fact. Again, my apologies Bufford T.

If that's aimed at me........no problem. I'm thick skinned.

It was partly because of the riches of the oil industry that the Saints are even in existance! Way off base on this one, guy.

This will be the last time I say this.

I AM ASHAMED THAT I DID NOT KNOW WHY OUR COLORS WERE BLACK AND GOLD.

NOT THAT I AM ASHAMED BECAUSE IT IS IN REFERENCE TO OIL.

No big deal Missle. I just don't want people thinking I'm a tree-hugger hippie type.

I know what the oil companies did for LA. My uncle works for them, and has for as long as I can remember.

READ THE WHOLE THING GUYS.

wikipedia?

are we really trusting info from wikipedia?

do you guys realize that ANYONE can edit wiki and thus it has virtually no credibility?!

i could start a post on deuce saying he eats babies.

im not saying that the team colors didnt come from the cities ties to oil, but i want to see it from a credible source before i believe it.
