Payton’s game pullover bore an insignia similar to the ones that were written on homes that were searched in the wake of Katrina, but his “Katrina X” pullover had the letters “N,” “O,” “L” and “A” written around the “X.”

“I was at the pregame meal and started going through, looking up – everyone who’s lived here has seen the homes, many of them still have the insignias on them.
