re: When did you become a Saints fan

I was a big fan when I was a little kid, I mean real little. I had a saints helmet, pajamas, etc. In elementary school, right during some of their worst years, it got to be really really uncool to wear anything saints related. Nevertheless, I had a new pair of saints shoes. Some a-hole teased me about it and even tried to spit on them (I think he missed but I can't remember).
Since, I always casually followed them but never wore any saints gear until after high school. I would watch every sunday though or listen with my dad on the radio if the game was blacked out, which was often. It wasn't until the last 4 years it's gotten fashionable to be a saints fan again.
I still think how funny it is the transformation from those years to now. I even see people every now in then here in NY wearing saints shirts/hats/jerseys.

I was driving through a pretty ghetto part of Santa Ana, California not too long ago and saw some Mexican gang member hanging out on a corner sporting a black Brees jersey. It's safe to say the Saints have finally arrived to bandwagon status.

I really started following the Saints in 1977 when I was 6 and could figure out what was going on. I also remember being the only kid in my New Orleans school that wore a Saints coat. Everyone else was in Cowboys and Steelers crap. We wore those jackets with the faux leather sleeves and the felt-like material with the little round team helmet patch on the left chest. I can clearly remember talking shite to my friends and classmates after the 8-8 1979 season...I learned my lesson about talking shite.
