Re: The Essence of Black and Gold or How the New Orleans Saints Got Their Colors
Black&Gold.com reported this in an article ( Jan 2010) outlining interesting FACTS about the Saints... just prior to their appearance in SB XLIV
* The first (majority) owner of the Saints was John Mecom Jr. He held the position from the teams inaugural season (1967) through 1985. John Mecom was an oil tycoon, and his oil industry background led him to pick Saints’ team colors of Black and Gold (because oil is commonly referred to as: Black Gold).
