Are the New Orleans Aints back?

The 1980 Saints football team lost their first 14 games and ended the season with a record of 1-15.

This year in spite of Reggie Bush, Deuce McAllister and Drew Brees they are 0-3.

Are the ‘Aints’ back?

During that disastrous 1980 season some of the Saints fans turned their frustration into sarcasm. They often wore brown paper bags on their heads with the word ‘Aints’ printed just above the eye slits, reasoning that the way the team played, they didn’t deserve to use the first letter of the team name.

They sat in the highest seats they could find in the empty ‘nosebleed’ section as a protest to the under performing team.

Actually the sarcasm of the saints fans became popular, as fans of other underachieving teams picked it up. Jets fans were seen to wear paper bags that said ‘Ets’ because they thought the team didn’t play well enough to use the fist letter of their name.

If the Saints continue to slide, the team players will still wear the fleur-de-lis on their helmets, but the fans may go back to the ‘Aints’ paper bags.

Come on you guys, give your rebuilding city something to be proud of! No more paper bags for your fans.
