The city of New Orleans was awarded an NFL franchise on November 1, 1966. Since that date, the New Orleans Saints have struggled as an organization in their win/loss ratios. However, in 1987, the Saints were able to make their first appearance in a playoff game. Since that year, their win record has been wavering, and their team plagued with injuries for key players. The 2005 catastrophe of Hurricane Katrina has added to the city’s grief and despair.

Unfortunately, the Saints are one of few NFL teams that have never been able to attain a trip to the Superbowl, but the tides may be turning for 2006. With 2005 Heisman Trophy winner, Reggie Bush, and quarterback, Drew Brees, who holds the NFL leader title in passing yards as of 12/08/06, New Orleans ’ future looks bright. The Saints have a standing of 8 -4, and this is just what the city of New Orleans needs during this time of healing and rebuilding.

There is a new wave of support for the team, and if you are a Saints fan, you’re looking for new ways to sport your support. The team takes the symbol of the classy Fleur de Lis for their emblem, the floral badge of France , which stems from Louisiana ’s French roots. The Fleur de Lis is a symbol that indicates purity and light, so fitting for a team called “The Saints." Most of the team’s paraphernalia is marked by this beautiful and classic French flower.

There are a number of places you can purchase Saints fan gear. Below is a quick reference list for fashion to support the Saints.

The NFL Shop – Here you can find everything from purses, caps, jackets, watches and chic tops. This site also includes Fleur de Lis earrings and pendants that are available in gold and silver. The gold are a bit pricey, but do fit with the team color scheme.
