Team Nickname Superbowl!!!!

Here it is, the final poll for which of the Saints nicknames will reign supreme. Many have voiced their opposition to not having a final poll, so here is the final vote to have a clear cut winner. There will only be the top 3 nicknames from the last round to choose from. Please rec this, so that we can get maximum response and finally put this to rest.
As was the initial plan, I'm for making some T-shirts and doing the whole charity thing. Someone will have to step up in the making of Tees. I can honestly say that I will buy whatever is made as well as at least 4 other Saints fans over here across the pond. We can work all that out after the polls close. The polls will be closing on Monday following the game. I know it's a short time, but we need to get hot on this or no one is gonna end up with shirts. Without further adieu . . .

We obviously needed another vote
Look how many votes Domeland Security is pulling, which was third out of the three in the last poll.

Not really. I figured the odds were that something like this will happen. Most people have the one they want already and aren’t going to change their minds. We all understand that. No matter what I think, I’m not going to convince you to vote for something else… or vice versa.
But the point of the runoff is to hopefully get those who really wanted something else, but no longer can have it, to vote for one of the front runners and break this “dead heat” situation. I was hoping that we might get that with the three, but I’m not surprised at all that we aren’t. So if we’re all just sick to death of it, fine, but if not, put up a “top two” poll for 48 hours or something.

is if we were voting in Florida!

I thought we could have an individual word runoff
So we could come up with our favorite amalgam of ideas, like Storm Security 5, or The Domeland Category, which both sound like awesome action movies from the sixties, by the way.

For the last time
The SAINTS are the “Storm” not the boat. Why is that so hard to understand?

Whatever makes you happy....
Now I got it… I think this is what is about… three storms merging into the perfect one… clever…. how dumb of me…
But hang on… one of the three storms (special teams) has not joined the other two last time I checked… THE IMPERFECT, SOON-TO-BE PERFECT STORM… not sure I like it… must really be disappointing after all the effort put into this search…

Haha
This is hilarious. It just means they’re all really solid names.
I figured on this happening, but it was necessary, as Domeland Security was third place in the last poll. A great deal of previous voters chose Domeland Security when forced to vote differently. The same may be true once Category 5 is eliminated from contention.
I guess one more is called for.

The Pefect Storm losses ALOT of its Luster
if the Saints happen to take a loss!!

The Perfect Storm is going to look great on t-shirts
Storm clouds. Gold metallic lightning bolts. The logos of our opponents being blown away by hurricane-force winds.
What can you do with Domeland Security? Plain black t’s with Domeland Security written like Superdome Security on the back. And then when you wear it to the game, every old lady is going to be asking you where the restroom is.

I’d almost wear it just for that. But then I have been told I have a low sense of humor. :)

FriarBob would tell her the restroom is in the Convention Center! :-)

How about
The Avenging Angels

Hey, Ajun Cajun
Is “The Avenging Angels” another suggestion for the team nickname?
At this point in time I think you may have to get in line behind the old lady trying to find the restroom. lol

Why Not?
I thought the three choices were lame, so I figured why not make an intelligent suggestion.

You think Avenging Angels sounds intelligent?
Sounds like a bad 70’s crime drama starring Cheryl Ladd and Kristy McNichols to me.

God, does anyone study history anymore.
The original avenging angels were a group of Mormons lead by Porter Rockwell. They would avenge any unkind act placed upon the Mormons in the Utah Territory. They were quite a group of rough and hard men.

So let me get this straight . . .
New Orleans, being OVERWHELMINGLY Catholic and Baptist and having been ravaged by a NATURAL disaster, should receive a nickname based on a Mormon group avenging heinous religious crimes and discrimination?

Another History Lesson
The Mormons call themselves the SAINTS, because their official name is THE CHURCH OF CHRIST AND LATTER DAY SAINTS. By the way, I’m Catholic, went to Jesuit, alterboy, even went one semester to Notre Dame Semenary on Carrolton Ave. across from Lafayette Elementary School. So, I don’t understand your reference. I was trying to come up with a tough name relating to SAINTS. If you don’t like Avenging Angels, how about Archangles, that’s more Catholic.

Don't understand my reference?
It’s pretty cut and dry. Your nickname loosely fits due to Angels vs Saints, but its history has NOTHING to do with New Orleans.
As far as Archangels, I personally don’t like it. It sounds like another team name. The point of the nicknames are to be a little fun and whimsical as well. Good input though.

Did you read the whole post?
The Mormons call each other SAINTS!!!! I think that’s a close reference.

2010 Saints Nickname
Domeland Security is not bad… of course I just joined here and would have preferred VooDudes…lol but in the air of compliance say Domeland Security is catchy, it has national recognition via sound alike Homeland etc… It also reflects the old Dome Patrol but, problem is that was a nickname for our Defense in the day, it would seem you are looking for a name for the team in general and to highlight the Defense on this team still might be a bit premature…

The GGM's suggetion
The VooDudes…. calls to New Orleans historical links to Marie Laveau and Voodoo brought in by Haitian slaves, Voodoo has been a fun and whimsical part of NOLA history, shops in the French Quarter today still do well with tourist’s fascination about it. And if you ever visited FOX’s page the GGM puts out a new spell every week on the opposing team, this year obviously he’s 100% just like the Saints… could be a lot of fun, but will work just as well next year if you guys like the idea. I will begin posting my spells each week here due to the great following of Saints fans…

wow ?
seems like we reached in and took the three worst nick names possible ?
You need something a little more mean sounding then this crap. All three sound like some kind of a tv movie ? This is a special time for us and the Saints , can’t we come
up with something that looks and sounds at least some kind of frightning?
LOL , (perfect storm) ? Sounds like the dam weather channel !! Cate 5 sounds like some kind of poll rank——team ranked 5th in some way ? LMAO ? The (domeland)
thing is just STUPID…..PLZ , lets get something a little more MEAN sounding and have it
not sound like we are shopping at BLOCKBUSTER

If you’re going to identify a problem, provide a solution as well. Otherwise all you’re really doing is whining in which case you’re adding to the problem.
