Like how the Phoenix Cardinals are now the Arizona Cardinals. How would you feel about that?

This article made me think of it: New Orleans Saints? Try the Louisiana Saints, as regional fervor grows

I think it sounds horrible. It has an odd feel to it.

I haven't looked at the rest of this thread, but this was discussed when Benson was playing his games. It's a horrible idea for so many reasons. Now that Benson has his deal, it's a non-issue.

Damn after reading that article it's hard to believe Louisiana was that divided before the SAINTS started winning. Seems like people in New Orleans don't like SAINTS fans in Baton Rouge, Western and Northern Louisiana all that much

please for the love of all that is morally upright do not let the Saints become victims of their own bandwagoning

Let's face it..... to the outside world, New Orleans is the only civilized spot in the state.... it's where the planes land. New Orleans has the "allure" that makes people want to come down here. They don't give a hoot about BR, LAF, SHRVPT, LC.

Keep it "New Orleans Saints".

There is no way in hell that I can sign off on Louisiana Saints....I realize the team has fans throughout the state and region, but these are the New Orleans Saints. Take or leave it, tinker somewhere else.....

Haven't gone threw 6 pages yet, but really Gulf coast Saints would be fitting kind of like the New England (Boston) Patriots. It will always be Our team (New Orleans), It's also our team the (the gulf coast region). There are a lot of diehards from Lafayette to Pensacola..............

NO is the focal point, prop it up. We want to be in that number that includes NYC, Chicago, New Orleans.

This will never happen. The Saints belong to New Orleans. Most northern LA residents are Cowboys fans so this is a terrible idea. Thread = EPIC FAIL

I'd be really upset if they did that. Everyone knows that North Louisiana and West Louisiana has always been Cowboys territory. Yeah, there are pockets of Saints fans, but mostly, it was Cowboys territory. New Orleans deserves to keep the branding.
