yep. Same patch that is on my Jim Everitt throwback.

the Saints (and every NFL team that had 1) wore throwbacks that season

here's Willie Roaf in the Saints throwback... which would be illegal nowaday... w/ the aforementioned patch/logo



eta: back on topic... the best I can find for baseball dimensions in the Dome back then are from a message board so take this with a grain of salt

quote:

I read an article about baseball in the Superdome, and I believe it said the dimensions were 325 down the lines, 380 in the power alleys, and 430 to center (although the YouTube video showed center to be 421 feet).

So, the Superdome's baseball dimensions from left to right would be 325-380-421-380-325.

The Superdome's baseball configuration had all the charm of the Mojave Desert.

(Cue Tumbleweed to roll on through)

It was serious dead air and deep fences for power hitters.
