It's from the 1980 season when the team went 1-15 and the fans wore bags on their heads.

So fans said the team was so bad they were the "Saints" minus the "S"

THE SUPERDOME WAS STILL SOLD OUT for that season.

And Breesfan27 is right, other teams who stink STEAL the paper bag idea from New Orleans.
