Saints will be wearing the throwbacks from 69

[axman40]

At least the Saints don't have to wear any gawdawful all red popcycle uniforms.

We prefer the term catsup.
:vincepalm:

 

[Lucky]

Gold Jersey uniform = Greatest in the league evaaarrrrrrrrrr!!!

I have to admit, that's a nice jersey.

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.

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.

Who wants to wear the same clothes, week after week?

...and where can *I* purchase these fine, new items...?

 

[sakebomb]

Bandwagoners cheered when Hartley's kick went through in OT, the Old schoolers cried.

Great post........and I can't stand Saints fan.

 

[SAMURAITEXAN]

Saints throwback uni doesn't look that bad. Don't kid ourselves, its going to be a tough game.

In Wade we trust!!!

Go Texans!!!

 

[Norg]

Are we going to wear our white or blue jerseys ????

 

[Lucky]

...and where can *I* purchase these fine, new items...?

A lot of people on the forum buy from China. But if you want something sooner, nflshop.com has them in stock.

 

[Texan_Bill]

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!!!

 

[GP]

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?

:vincepalm: Not only that. I really don't think he wants to get into the whole "what comes from" smack. Sadly we all found out "what comes from NOLA" post Katrina

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.

Oh New Orleans is definitely the city for letting your freak flag fly.

Word to the wise....Any of you guys making the trip this weekend: Better "cup check" any alleged woman you meet in that Bourbon St. bar before taking her back to the hotel room....also, once you see Tropical Isle (the one of the left side if coming from Canal) it's time to turn around. Everything past that is the ...*ahem*...friendly district.

 

[Doppelganger]

As you are aware, I am a very politically correct person and therefore opt for these:

Ha ha!!!

On a side note, I went to a Whole Foods a few weeks back and bought some food. When the cashier asked me if I wanted a bag, I refused and said I could carry it out myself. This hot hippie chick in line behind me was so happy/impressed, she insisted that we go out that evening.

See TB, being good to the Willow tree, might mean you can get with Willow that evening!!!

 

[gwallaia]

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.

All you have to do is look in the parking lots and parking garages at the Lake Charles casinos and see all the Texas license plates to prove that point correct.

I get the feeling every time the idea for legalizing casinos in Texas comes up for discussion, there are Louisiana casino owners paying some cash to the Texas politicians to make sure it never happens.

 

[Dutchrudder]

This is just guess, but I would imagine you are the type of guy that only has sex in the missionary position?

Haha, nice one, but no. Some of these throwbacks are atrocious looking to me. I didn't mind it in the 50th anniversary season, but c'mon, this is just getting old. I want to see the teams in their colors, not some bland colors that have nothing to do with the current franchise. This is football, not a fashion show.

Packers:

Broncos:

Jets:

 

[Dutchrudder]

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.

Hahaha! MSR...

 

[Showtime100]

East Texas - Louisiana = Same difference!

Maybe in Beaumont, but you'd get whooped in Crockett if they heard you say that.

As for the thread, those tan on brown Saints jerseys look like, well, organized feces. Ugh.

 

[RazorOye]

tan on brown Saints jerseys

wut?

brown?

 

[gwallaia]

Good story by the way Guido.

 

[Showtime100]

wut?

brown?

Rusty Saint posted a pic and changed it, it was quoted by Lucky on post #52. It looks brown and tan to me. I've always thought 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.

At least they were there.

They love their team, they support their team, but they know the product on the field ain't nothing to write home about.

It's kinda like the fat chick & the moped

 

[RazorOye]

rarely black and gold?

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...

 

[thunderkyss]

Hangover piss yellow isn't yellow. Kind of like an Orca isn't a whale but everybody still calls them that. 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)

 

[AsylumGuido]

Good story by the way Guido.

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.

Not while they are in earshot anyway... they'll be gone next week & we'll be able to say what we really mean.

now that's comedy right there

Don't be jealous. Just cuz your team isn't old enough to have [COLOR="Red"]throw backs[/COLOR], doesn't mean you should hate on ours! :nolisten:[/QUOTE]

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.



[COLOR="Red"][B][SIZE="4"]
You're going to call my comments moronic and you're here advising men to "cup-check" their "women." Wow, and vagina smack-talk- priceless[/SIZE][/B][/COLOR].:vincepalm:

lol, when you edited that you erased the "first"....so that "second" is hanging out there by itself. Good job champ.

Wow, even more annoying than I thought. If you must go there, you don't need to have a "First", to follow with a "second." Since you get your thrills from being an edit-cop, you only prove that you have no life. STFUA.

I was rooting for the Saints after Katrina and thought y'all had some good teams over the years, particularly some of those Jim Mora teams with the terrific linebackers they had. I think the team will be a serious Super Bowl contender for a few more years, too. Your story was really interesting and not something I ever heard, or read about before. Thanks.

Having said that,

Sunday prediction: 31 Texans - 17 Saints.

[Corrosion]

I hope they play like the 69 Aints.

Thank you! That coke bottle look is disgusting.

 

[b0ng]

tarajersey.com or yukijersey.com are two of the best jersey sites on the net imho.

 

[infantrycak]

Knock off the insults. And if you want to smack talk the forum called Blazing Arrow's Smack Talk is the place to do it.

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.

Guido, do you remember this guy? He was a former Luv Ya Bluer who followed Bum to the Saints.

 

[AsylumGuido]

Heck, yeah! Guido Merkens! I even have his trading card. Or, should I say my son does. It's in a display on the wall at his house.

I appreciate the warm welcome and friendly discussion. Win, lose or draw (yes, McNabb, it can happen) I'll be a frequent visitor.

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.

oh i agree, never "forget" the past, but that dont mean i'd wanna talk about our relive it. We as a Franchise have had our Downs, hell almost all 10 years haha but there are certain things we KNOW not to talk about on this board. We need to have a texans Swear jar
