I have to admit, that's a nice jersey.
Gold Jersey uniform = Greatest in the league evaaarrrrrrrrrr!!!
I like NFL swag. And didn't you just buy a boatload of jerseys from China? I own an Andre Johnson black jersey that garners a lot of attention on gameday. I'm thinking about picking up a camo Andre.Is anyone else tired of these throwback jerseys? I know I am. It's just a marketing ploy to try and sell some more NFL swag. I wish they would just stick with the normal uniforms all year.

Who wants to wear the same clothes, week after week?
Bandwagoners cheered when Hartley's kick went through in OT, the Old schoolers cried.
A lot of people on the forum buy from China. But if you want something sooner, nflshop.com has them in stock.
...and where can *I* purchase these fine, new items...?
Haha! Nah, I just wanted to make sure you boys didn't get your hopes up, What's that they say comes from Texas, Steers and ...?
Really?? Really????/ You wanna go "Steers and Queers" reference considering New Orleans reputation for the "GAY" crowd????!?! "Not there's anything wrong with that!!!
That ain't right!!!
As a fan, I could never understand the actual WEARING of a paper bag over your head. It's either a case of being a "bad fan" or just dramatics for attention.
I won't SaintRusty to weigh in here on this. Tell us what you think of those Saints fans who grouped up and wore paper bag outfits. Are they accepted, ridiculed for it, what's the story there?

As you are aware, I am a very politically correct person and therefore opt for these:
You wouldn't believe the trouble I had convincing my friends from Lake Charles that the casino wasn't built for them but rather for the folks just over the border.
This is just guess, but I would imagine you are the type of guy that only has sex in the missionary position?
I particularly enjoy the twisted idea that the league has figured out how to make a bunch more money off paying homage to guys who played when it wasn't about the money.
It's just so.....
I swear, the NFL owners collectively have forgotten more about making money than most of us will ever know.
East Texas - Louisiana = Same difference!
wut?
brown?

the Saints uni's rarely look "black & gold" but more like sh*& brown and hangover urine yellow. My opinion of the Saints is very low as you might now know and always has been, sorry.
rarely black and gold?
again... wut?
Looks like runny baby **** to me.

again... wut?
I see more black and gold than I see brown and yellow.
but that's just me...
And you're free to hate on the Saints - it makes no difference to me. But how that turns black to brown and gold to yellow just doesn't make sense to me.
LSU is purple and gold, officially, but to me the unis are yellow.
So this is a much clearer case of yellow claiming gold. And, by comparison, the Saints don't look at that yellow.
But to each his own...
Good story by the way Guido.
Anyway I think of the city as kind of a hangover piss yellow and brown kind of drabby, skank town. (no, not talking about the people)
I was talking about the uniform... not the guy wearing it
Speaking of throw backs, you need to throw your azz back to the Aints boards!
Second, you're getting really annoying. Don't come on our board and tell us what to do and how to think/act.:vincepalm: STHUA.
lol, when you edited that you erased the "first"....so that "second" is hanging out there by itself. Good job champ.
Thanks, gwallaia. I know the Saints history isn't that hallowed in the realms of the NFL, but it is still special to me having lived it all. From the opening kickoff in team history being run back for a TD by John Gilliam to the Porter pick six off Manning in the Super Bowl. From the Dome Patrol and the first playoff game ever in 1987 to the first playoff win ever in 2000. It's had its highs and plenty of lows, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.
At least the Saints don't have to wear any gawdawful all red popcycle uniforms.
I'll share the story. Back in 1980 the Saints hit the absolute low point in their history. The team only won one game that season. About half of the way into the year "Buddy D" Diliberto, a well known New Orleans' sportscaster, was so fed up with ownership's lack of commitment to putting talent on the field that he campaigned for a boycott. He quickly discovered that this was not going to happen because of the fan's love of the team, win or lose. Therefore, he began asking fans to show up wearing a paper bag over their heads as a means of protest if they insisted on attending the games. Several fans complied toward the end of the 1980 season and more carried the protest into 1981. Management must have been listening to a point because they let Coach Dick Nolan go and hired Bum Phillips at the beginning of that season.
The wearing of bags was not widespread amongst Saints fans during this protest, but they were the ones that made it into the media. Occasionally bags would appear later, but 1981 was the "year of the bag". While Saints fans are associated with bag wearing, bags began be worn by fans of different team in the NFL and other sports in the coming years.
Most fans today seem to think that the Saints fans were ashamed of their team. That couldn't be further from the truth. The fans loved the Saints so much that they wanted to embarrass management while still being able to see "their" Saints.
By the way, Buddy D once stated that he would wear a dress on Bourbon Street if the Saints ever made it to the Super Bowl. He died before he ever got to pay off that bet. However, former Saints' great QB Bobby Hebert paid the bet for him. The week before the Super Bowl Hebert and thousands of New Orleans men paraded down Bourbon in their wives' and girlfriends' finest fashions. I would have been their myself if I could have made it.
I hope this helps clear up the mystery of the bags.
Guido, do you remember this guy? He was a former Luv Ya Bluer who followed Bum to the Saints.Thanks, gwallaia. I know the Saints history isn't that hallowed in the realms of the NFL, but it is still special to me having lived it all.

Rep your way!
Expertly detailed, Guido. Thank you for sharing the information.
By the way, it has been nice having you two Saints fans on here (you and SaintRusty) because you're engaging in real football talk and pretty much everyone else here is doing likewise with you two. Oh, I need to toss in RazorOye as a good one too, but he feels like a Texans fan because he's here so much! I almost forgot about Razor being a Saints fan. My bad.
Anyways, thanks again Guido.
the saints are good now, but why would you want to go back and relive those days if ur the saints. You think that those are days they would wanna forget
Because that is the path that we as fans took to where we are now. It helps to remember the past to have greater appreciation of the present and future.
