New Orleans Saints :scust:

What the fukk does that shyt even mean in the context of football? WOAT team name/organization combo

fukk that team all day but I actually get the Saints name tho. Louis Armstrong, Saints Go Marching in, second like type shyt. You right it ain’t got shyt to do with football, but I think they named them that in the same vein as the NO Jazz back in the day, repping they culture moreso than something that fit the sport itself. We know how they think up here in the A, if you look at from that perspective it makes sense. them nikkas almost as bad as NY’ers, they letting you know where they from every 5 minutes. So I could see them naming their teams shyt that is unique to they area.

Heron would've been a dope name for them :ehh:

But why not just re-name them the Jambalaya or Etoufee? Get Zatarains to sponsor them and everybody eats, literally :win:

@JamilALAmin good points, but why the Flower Lilly on the side of their helmets? Did they just say fukk it we just gonna mix whatever we want together and think no one would notice? The black and gold color scheme? :scust: Even whoadie captain @SubZeroDegrees has to agree that Pelicans is a WOAT name and the Saints is a trash/confusing name

I always thought Magic and Heat were odd team names. It's not Orlando Magicians, it's Orlando Magic. :dwillhuh:
Heat? There's the Calgary Flames. You can be a flame, but how can you be a heat? That's like naming a team cold or warm. :comeon:

I'm used to it now after all these years.

little known factoid:

- The 2011 Finals was the first time in the 4 major sports history that the two teams in the Finals didn't have an "s" at the end of their team name

Edit: 2012 Finals
