So when the SHAMS "beat" us on the no PI, there were floats and krewes dedicating to blasting the refs. If any of yall are on krewes, yall should make floats and costumed themed around "Fire Dennis Allen" or "Mickey and Gayle are stupid."

The biggest problem is most of the themes were decided around last March and floats are already designed, built and ready to go.

this ^^^^^^

it takes 4-5 months to design, build, and decorate a float, so whatever theme it will be, must be decided way before that time

I mean, it was pretty clear early on this team sucked. After the GB loss they should’ve gotten to work on the float.

The New Orleans parades are typically themed and there’s very few times a saints float mocking the head coach will fit that theme. The designers use these floats as art pieces.


That won’t stop riders on those floats from mocking Allen. I know I will

and yet as silly as it sounds they could have easily been playing the lions yesterday, so no.

but the designed floats with animation and characters built on them take almost a full year to build, yet the simple plain floats are able to just be built a few weeks before its needed. but that is still not leaving enough time to do anything like the OP suggests
