The New Orleans Saints are a professional American football team based in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Saints currently compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member of the league's National Football Conference (NFC) South division. The team was founded by John W. Mecom Jr., David Dixon, and the city of New Orleans on November 1, 1966.[7] The Saints began play in Tulane Stadium in 1967.
The name "Saints" is an allusion to November 1 being All Saints Day in the Catholic faith. The franchise was founded on November 1, 1966 and New Orleans has a large Catholic population. It also attributed to the spiritual song "When the Saints Go Marchin' In" which is associated with New Orleans jazz and is often sung by fans at games.
They played their home games in Tulane Stadium through the 1974 NFL season and then moved to the new Louisiana Superdome (now called the Mercedes-Benz Superdome).
Except for minor modifications, the Saints' logo and uniforms have basically remained the same since the club debuted in 1967.The team's logo is a fleur-de-lis which is a symbol of the City of New Orleans and of France's Royal Family, which included the House of Bourbon).
Their uniform design consists of gold helmets, gold pants, and either black or white jerseys.
