Merchandise for the New Orleans Saints – New Orleans Saints Merchandise – N.O. Saints Merchandise
The New Orleans Saints are a professional American football team based in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Saints perform in the South Division of the National Football Conference (NFC) in the NFL.
The New Orleans Saints were built in 1967 as an NFL expansion team and played all their home games at Tulane Stadium up to the 1974 season. The Saints went more than 10 years before they were able to complete a season with a .500 record, 2 whole decades before having a winning season, and over four decades before making it to the Super Bowl. The Saints’ first successful years were from 1987–1992, when the team made the playoffs four times and had winning records in the non-playoff seasons. In the 2000 season, the Saints conquered the then-defending Super Bowl champion St. Louis Rams for the team’s initial playoff win.
The Saints’ 2009 season was the team’s greatest. The 11/30/2009 Monday Night Football game against the New England Patriots, in which the team went to an 11–0 record for the first time in franchise history, was the second highest rated cable program to date. After becoming 13–0 with their win over the Atlanta Falcons, it marked the Saints’ best start to a season in its franchise history. The outcome clinched an NFC playoff berth, a bye in the first round of the playoffs. By winning their first 13 games, the Saints in addition established the record for the longest undefeated season opening (13-0) by an NFC team since the AFL–NFL merger, eclipsing the previous record (12-0) held by the 1985 Chicago Bears. The team advanced to the 2009 NFC Championship game where they defeated the Minnesota Vikings 31-28 in overtime, sending the team to their first Super Bowl appearance in the franchise’s history.
