Somebody forgot to tell mr. benson when he named his professional team that all saints day wasn't' just celebrated in New orleans

quote:

The team was founded by John W. Mecom, Jr. and David Dixon and the city of New Orleans.

The team was named for the great jazz song most identified with New Orleans – "When the Saints Go Marching In", and it was no coincidence that the franchise's official birth was announced on November 1, which is the Catholic All Saints' Day


quote:

The team's colors, black and gold, symbolized both Mecom's and New Orleans' strong ties to the oil


"Black gold"
