History
Main article: History of the New Orleans Saints
Children and Youth
The idea original local sports entrepreneur Dave Dixon, who also founded the Louisiana Superdome and USFL, the Saints were actually secretly born in a backroom deal caused by Congressman Hale Boggs, Senator Russell Long Commissioner Pete Rozelle and the NFL. The NFL needed congressional approval of the proposed merger of the AFL-NFL. Dixon and a local civic group had been looking for an NFL franchise for more than five years, and has welcomed the record crowd of exhibition games in the NFL. To seal the merger, Rozelle arrived in New Orleans in a week, and announced the November 1, 1966 that the NFL officially had awarded the city of New Orleans an NFL franchise. Named after the jazz song most closely identified with New Orleans "When the saints go marching in," the franchise was announced in a great match on 01 November, which is the Day of the Catholic Church of All Saints. Boggs' Congressional committee in turn quickly approved the merger of the NFL. John W. mecom, Jr., a young oilman from Houston, became the first team's majority shareholder. The team's colors, black and gold, symbolizing both mecom and strong ties to New Orleans oil ("black gold") industry. [Citation needed] The trumpeter Al Hirt was part owner of the team, and his rendition of "When the Saints go marching in "became the official fight song.
The first season began with a kickoff return 94 yards for a touchdown by John Terry Gilliam, but the Saints lost that game 2713 to the Los Angeles Rams in Tulane Stadium. His record was 311 in the first season, which set an NFL record over victories by an expansion team. However, I could not finish as high as second in their division until 1979. That team of 1979 and the 1983 team were the only ones to finishing at 500-1987.
One of the brightest moments of the franchise arrived November 8, 1970, when Tom Dempsey kicked an NFL record for field goal 63 yards to defeat the Detroit Lions by a score of 1917 in the dying seconds of the game. This album, though still 29 years after the Broncos' Jason Elam Denver has not yet been broken.
In 1980, the Saints lost their first 14 games, prompting local sports Bernard "Buddy D" to advise Diliberto Santos supporters use paper bags over their heads in the team's home games, many bags provided the name of the club as the "'Aints" instead of the saints. " The practice of wearing a bag over his head then spread rapidly, first to fans of other teams poor performance in the NFL, and ultimately those of other Latin American team sports, and has become a habit firmly established throughout the United States.
Mora was
Current Saints owner Tom Benson acquired the franchise in 1985, and hired Jim Finks as general manager and Jim Mora as head coach. This combination Santos gives his first victory of registration and playoff appearance, going from 123 in 1987, a game that had less than normal due to a players' strike. Other playoffs continue in 1990, and the title of the club in first division was in 1991. During the administration of Mora Saints to the playoffs four times, marking equipment strong defenses led by the "Dome Patrol" linebacking corps, but were never able to win a playoff game. Saints coach Mora half the 1996 season, when he resigned in the middle of a season of 313.
Ditka was
After the end of the 1996 season, ironically as suggested Diliberto before Mora resignation, former Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka was hired to replace Mora. Although this initially generated great enthusiasm among fans Saints, Ditka's tenure ended up being a failure. The Saints were 610 in his first two seasons in Ditka (1997 and 1998). During the 1999 NBA Draft NFL, Ditka traded all their picks for the season and the first round, third round picks for next season, the Washington Redskins for the project University of Texas Heisman Trophy running back Ricky Williams in the first round. Ditka and Williams had a mock wedding photo taken to mark the occasion. However, Ditka, the majority of his coaching staff and general manager Bill Kuharich were fired at the end of the 1999 season due to record 313 of the club.
Haslett era
Jim Haslett held the post from 2000-2005. In its first year, led the team to the playoffs, but lost to the Minnesota Vikings a week after defeating the St. Louis Rams for first win playoff team. After winning the 2000 NFL Executive of the Year, general manager Randy Mueller was fired between seasons 2001 and 2002 without explanation by Benson. The Saints failed to reach the playoffs in 2001 and 2002, although in the latter year had the distinction of beating the eventual Super Bowl XXXVII champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers in both of its meetings in the regular season, only the second team to do so in the history of the NFL.
In 2003, the New Saints missed the playoffs after finishing 88. The 2004 season started badly for the Saints, as it passes through its first six games 24 and 48 through their first twelve matches. Working at that point seemed to be in danger Haslett, however, managed to win three straight games before the end of the season, leaving the Saints in the playoffs in the last week of the season. At week 17, the Saints beat rivals North Carolina, however, the Saints needed other results to break his way and when the St. Louis Rams defeated the New York Jets to the Saints were eliminated despite having beaten the Rams, which ended with the same record. The Rams, Saints, and the Vikings were 88, with the Rams conferences have a history of 75, Santos 66, 57 and the Vikings. The Rams received the wild card # 1 due to having the best record conference of the three, followed by the Vikings because of the loss of 3316 gave the Saints in Week 3. Haslett was fired after the 2005 season, in which Santos 313 finished and did not play a regular season contest in New Orleans due to Hurricane Katrina. The January 17, 2006, the Saints hired Sean Payton as their new coach.

Logos and uniforms
Logo (2000resent)
New Orleans Saints uniform combination
New Orleans Saints Alternate consistent: the 2002 season
Except for minor modifications, the Saints logo and uniforms have basically remained the same since the club debuted in 1967. team logo is a fleur de lis (the symbol of the city of New Orleans and the Bourbon monarchy to France), while its uniform design consists of helmets gold, tee gold pants and either black or white. Minor changes to the uniform strips and the seat has been made over the years. The team wore black helmet 1969 pre-season, but NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle banned the use of helmets Saints during the regular season, as their mecom John, Jr. did not notify the office League of change.
Predominantly Saints wore white at home when the club played at Tulane Stadium from 1967 to 1974 (except 1969 and 1970) forcing opponents to wear dark colors in the subtropical climate of New Orleans. When the surface of Tulane natural grass stadium changed to AstroTurf in 1971, became Field temperatures even hotter. In the first game Archie Manning in the 1971 season opener against the Rams in Los Angeles, temperatures in the field was as high as 130 F (54 C). The big favored Rams wilted in the sweltering heat, and the Saints claimed their first victory over their NFC West rivals, 2420, Field Marshal Manning's 1-yard sneak on the last play of the game.
Santos became white pants in 1975, coinciding with the transfer of equipment Tulane Stadium to the Superdome. A year later, began using black pants with white shirts, a decision influenced by the coach Hank Stram, who introduced the red trousers of the uniform of Kansas City in 1968. In a home game October 3, 1976 against the Houston Oilers, Hank Stram used the uniforms of Santos highway, white shirt and pants black. The Saints lost that game 3126. During the period 198 182 (first Bum Phillips as coach two seasons), the team wore white shirts with black pants at home, but reverted back to the black jerseys and white pants for the year 1983. He turned back to gold pants with their shirts in both black and white in 1986 with his new Coach Jim Mora E.. From 1986-1995, the sleeves of the shirts and the sides of the pants featured a logo with a fleur de lis within a framework of the state of Louisiana. Logo replaces the pattern of bands that had been in uniform since the inception of the team, except for variations in color, the banding pattern was similar to that used by the Washington Redskins (until 1979), Green Bay Packers (until 1997) and Cleveland Browns (still in use as of 2007 [update]), which is probably why the change was made. This logo was retired in 1996 and replaced by a lily on both sides and pant cuffs.
From 1996 to 1998, the Saints again the numbers of gold in both the black and white jersey, but complaints about the numbers in the white t be too hard to read numbers forced the white shirts to change to black in 1999. The Saints wore black pants with a wide gold band with their white jerseys in 1999, but after a season of 313 and the dismissal of coach Mike Ditka, black pants inactivated by new coach Jim Haslett.
2000
In 2000, Santos won its first playoff game since hosted of the St. Louis Rams and then have a better record than home record, wearing white T-shirts, helping them achieve victory over 3128 champion Rams defender. The work the definition of the game came with the Saints clinging to a three-point lead with minutes. Los Santos cleared to Az-Zahir Hakim for the Rams (who played one season for the Saints in 2005), who fumbled the punt in the middle of the Rams territory. Brian Milne recovered for the Saints, who ran the clock to preserve the victory.
In 2001, they wore their white jerseys at home games in the top six. During that same year, which was mainly trousers both black and white jerseys and black. He became the first NFL team to wear black uniforms in a week five game road against the Carolina Panthers and again at weeks 16 and 17 games at home against the Washington Redskins and San Francisco 49ers.
In 2002, the Saints wore black pants with white T-shirts (Except for the final game of the highway, a loss of 2013 in Cincinnati when they returned to the golden trousers), and gold pants with black shirts, t-shirt alternate gold uniform and a 1967-style retreat. But a season later, deputies stopped using and went back again to use the gold pants so their shirts black and white.
The team introduced a gold alternate jersey (worn with black pants) for a December 15, 2002 game against the Minnesota Vikings a loss in 3231, but never used them since. Because color bright metallic gold, the gold jerseys are considered the "light" jersey in the game, so the Vikings wore purple jerseys as the home "dark" color of the team. One team must wear "dark" and the team should wear a "light", with the only exception if both teams are back uniforms, Classic games such as Thanksgiving. Today only the New England Patriots have a "light" jersey (his deputy, a bright metallic silver) that is not white in the other team would use color, or "dark" jerseys against them since the third jersey rule was implemented in the NFL in 2002.
The Santos also suffered setbacks 1967 style uniform in the victory of 2320 at week 13 (01 December) against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This also was never used again, but re-introduction of the T-shirts stores suggests that it may make a comeback as the uniform of the Saints substitute.
In 2006, after his return to Louisiana, the Saints wore a patch in even with an outline of the State of Louisiana, with a fleur-de-lis superimposed, similar to the logo of the 1980s.
Santos originally planned wear the white jersey at home for the 2006 season, but during the season, players voted to wear the black jersey at home after the game second house. Since the team had informed the NFL office that they planned to wear the white shirt at home, each of the opponents of the Saints would have to source other grant the request of New Orleans. The Atlanta Falcons, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Cincinnati Bengals did not agree with the switch, forcing the Saints you wear the white jersey for that game.
From week 13 of the 2006 season, the Saints wore white shirts and black pants in a game of the week 16 in the Meadowlands against the New York Giants (307 saints win), the Saints wore black pants with their white road jerseys. The Saints stuck with that later combo in the NFC Championship in Chicago.
The Saints wore white jerseys for their first four home games in 2008. Three of the four games of the shirt white with black pants combination is used in the home, while the white jerseys with gold pants combination were used for the first of four games. The Saints chose to use the color combination of black for the October 26 game at Wembley Stadium in London against the San Diego Chargers in which New Orleans was home designated equipment. They also wore a black shirt with black pants for the rest of their home games at the Superdome after the game in London.
Saints wearing the white jerseys at home for home games the first three of 2009. All this with the white jersey and gold pants combination. They have brought the whole combo black-the last two home games. For its operation through the 2009 playoffs, the team wore gold pants.
