Oops, too late.

Standing my ground as the last cautiously optimistic fan around or my very clever contribution?

Sorry Big for not following your simple instructions and just vote but I figured there had to be more material out there if I could come up with something like that.

How about extending last call until our first loss?

black and gold voodoo…..brawlin nawlins……crescent city crush…….crescent city killas….21st century cha-chingggg……dome daddy smack down…lol

me = fail. Not only did I not read the post before voting, I didn’t notice “Domeland Security” as one of the options. Count that as my choice (and subtract one from Crescent City Connection".

Voodoo Childs is pretty good too, but I don’t know if I like linking the Saints to an Arena Football team. Of course, that might be a good thing, suggesting the kind of points the Saints put up.

I like that Crescent City Crush too, saintsfan77. That’s really got a nice ring to it.

But I still think “A Streetcar Named Kick Your Ass” makes for the best t-shirt. :)

maybe he’ll add it in as a second wild card

The dog-faced killers.

I voted for “Perfect Storm” but would rather “Category 5”, unless it’s “The Perfect Storm”. Gotta have the “The”.

with “Perfect Storm” is that anything less than perfection sets us up for some pretty good ridicule and zingers from everyone else. Here’s how I went through the list -

Crescent City Connection – MANY non-native New Orleanians do not know what Crescent City means.

Perfect Storm – (see above)

Dome ‘n’ Nation – ahhhh, next

Category 5 – somewhat like Crescent City, lots of people don’t get it.

Domeland Security – everyone in the USA should be able to make the play on words connection.

(So, there you have it. My two cents worth and I just happen to have the correct change.)

I was torn between The Perfect Storm and Category 5. I read the choices to my hubby and he also likes both of those. But then he said “I think a Category 5 hit Miami last week”, and ding, ding, ding…just like we had a winner!

and leave out the 2 that had the least amount of votes and really try to get everyone in on the discussion and the new vote, get a concensus and then be united!! Maybe we get it done in a week or 2!! They should have a nickname.

I like “Pick your Poison” for the offense.

but I like the ring of Domeland Security, mainly because it can more easily be used by a broadcaster. I can just picture Troy and Buc making fun of how sucky the Saints are with that term en route to another Saints victory. It’s also bad marketing for the entire city to relate anything to hurricanes. In conclusion, my vote sucks.

Back through the ages there have been great “nick names” for teams, when at times it was just for a certain segment of the team. When you heard the “Purple People Eaters” you, at once, thought of the Vikings, not just their front four. The same with the “Fearsome Foursome”, you thought of the L.A. Rams. And on and on. That is why I like “Domeland Security”.

Just like the movie, even though some boats were able to weather the storm and survive, that didn’t make the storm any less fearsome. Even if we lose a game or 2, that won’t make us any less feared as an opponent.

the AINTS THAT STANKS

if you vote for “Domeland Security” a Saints Cheerleader will sit in your lap during the game.

Just thought I’d mention it since nobody else did. On with the voting!!

1. Does not favor offense or defense, but is a great complete team nickname.
2. Emphasizes the team and not the building they play in.
3. Sounds very threatening.
4. Works well in games not played in a dome.
5. Hints to the recent history of the city.
6. Will look great on a black T with a picture of the team’s main players standing beneath menacing thunderclouds with gold lightning bolts striking from above.
7. Just freakin’ rocks!

the way the voting is going, how about,

“The Perfect Category 5 Storm, brought to you by Domeland Security.”

What? A little wordy? Then let’s just forget the first two parts. K???

sorry, had to add one more

A guy I work with just came in wearing a Saints “Domenators” t-shirt, so we’re evidently not the only group brainstorming this.

Screw em. This is OUR team and OUR nickname. I could care less if Green Bay fans don’t understand what Category 5 is. They will, right after we destroy them.

Bottom line is Category 5 or Perfect Storm (I’m sorry, The Perfect Storm) symbolize something more to our city. Katrina may have been a great travesty, but it has tested our resolve and made us the strong city, group of people and TEAM that we are today.

Forget Domeland Security The Storm and Cat 5 ARE New Orleans!

I know its too late but all us out west prefer….The Church of Breesus Christ and the Kick ASS Saints.

Given how ridiculously close the vote here is, how about we decide to not have one single winner but instead have shirts for the top three nicknames?

I bet if you just took the top two off of this, we’d have a clearly defined winner.

I had 870 am on a small radio in the garage (I can pick-up WWL only at night or real cloudy days in Houston)for Falcon game, during Greer pick 6 Jim Henderson called them “Pirates of Poydras Street” I kinda like it,its local,but so what, has anybody else heard this nickname around town or other broadcasts?
