Jazz funeral to bury the Aints nickname
Younger fans may find it hard to believe that, in the pre-Super Bowl championship era, the Saints were so bad that fans wore paper bags over their heads at games and competed to sail paper airplanes onto the field. Late local sportscaster Buddy Diliberto is credited with coming up with the paper bag masks during a long-ago 1-15 season.
The Saints are the Aints no more. To make it semi-official, trombonist Glen David Andrews and the Baby Boyz Brass Band will lead an Aints jazz funeral through Treme and Faubourg Marigny on Saturday, Feb. 20, starting at 5 p.m. Fans are encouraged to bring their old Aints paper bags and place them in a coffin. After a brief ceremony, the second-line funeral procession launches from d.b.a. (618 Frenchmen Street), winds into Treme, then circles back to d.b.a.
