The New Orleans Saints and their players have had a lot of great nicknames in franchise history. But which is the best?
Interestingly, Yahoo! Sports recently published a piece on the most memorable nicknames in NFL history - both for teams and players - and the first nickname referenced is an old term of endearment for the Saints, “the ‘Aints.”
‘’Aints’’ - Refers to the struggles of the woeful New Orleans Saints in the 1980 season when they were the first team to finish 1-15 in a season. Fans registered their disgust by wearing paper bags over their heads at the games.
