Know what you mean. It doesn't seem right for strangers to claim the Saints as their own.

However, after a season like this one, this Saints team belongs to the ages.

I caught the other end of the bandwagon last week.

I went to work with my Saints windbreaker on (as I often do) and got on the elevator with some dude I didn't know.

He took one look at my coat and said "Great year to be an Aint's fan, huh?"

After the urge to pummel him passed, I responded that I had been a Saints fan for MANY years and we were having a great season.

Turns out said dude was from Shreveport - no doubt one of those displaced Cowgirls fans...

Lots of Cow-kitties here in Shreveport - but we've been tagging that a$$ good for years now and that has kept them off of me. I have been listening to that Cowboy ying-yang since 81' when I move here, I've kind of gotten used to it. Silver stars were hard to find early in the season...kind of let you know what their fans are all about. My neighbor even took his flag down in front of his house. How fickle is that? I look around and see more Black&Gold then I've ever seen; Fleur de lis' as far as the eye can see. They must have been in hibernation. It comes with the winning. I'm O.K. with it. We've waited a long time for this kind of season...there is plenty of room for hitch-hikers.

I'm an Englishman living in England and have been a Saints fan for many years. Can't say that I see many other Saints fans Donuts32, except of course when I went to see them at Wembley Stadium when the played against the Chargers. And YES! I have been to New Orleans, 4 times and seen the Saints play. First time was in 1992, The Dome Patrol, WOW!, now they were worth travelling over for!
So pleased that the Saints are finally, so far, having a good season! But as coach Payton says, one game at a time.

I usually see Who Dats here and there, but this year, I saw hundreds of people with new Saints gear. I usually don't walk around with much gear, maybe a hat or worn out B&G sweatshirt...of course, the faded Fleur-De-Lis tattooed on my left hand between my wrist, index finger and thumb is there for everyone to see that I was branded B&G long time ago, before tattoos became the accessory fad they are now.

..anyway, just a little peeved

WHO DAT!

no u should b, n i suffered for so long, especially growing up in jersey. i can't stomach it either!!!!!

i was driving on I-80 up here, and a truck passed me. He had a Fleur de Lis decal on the back of truck ? It might be spreading up here in Utah ?

The most stuff I ever seen in Ct was a leather wallet and a blanket

CantonLegend · 11-29-2009, 03:18 PM

my buddies know my affiliation......they always call me a front runner when im around them because the saints are actually good this year

but you should hear them talk **** to other people that wear saints stuff.....i thought i was the only saints fan in ohio.....and i guarantee my buddies thought the same thing because they say a lot of things that grandma's wouldnt approve of to other "front running, bandwagon jumping, saints fans"

SaintPauly · 11-29-2009, 05:32 PM

I guess my favorite bandwagon moment, has to be when I went to watch the first game against Detroit, at the sports bar, wearing my Manning throwback jersey. Including one Saints "fan", I had at least five people say to me, "I had no idea Peyton played for the Saints." grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr........ I'm getting too old for this......
