Before the Super Bowl glory, before Drew Brees rewrote the record books, and before the Superdome became one of football's most famous stages, there was a team, a city, and a fan base that simply refused to stop believing.
NEW ORLEANS SAINTS: 60 YEARS OF BLACK AND GOLD tells the remarkable story of six decades of Saints football, from the franchise's difficult beginnings to championship glory and the unforgettable culture of Who Dat Nation.
Follow the Saints from their earliest seasons and the Archie Manning years through the rise of the legendary Dome Patrol. Relive the long wait for the franchise's first playoff victory and the painful years when loyal fans continued showing up despite disappointment.
Then experience one of the most meaningful periods in team history: Hurricane Katrina, the Saints' time away from New Orleans, and their emotional return to the Superdome in 2006. Revisit Steve Gleason's famous blocked punt and the night football became part of a city's return home.
Discover how Drew Brees and Sean Payton transformed the Saints, building an offensive powerhouse that changed expectations in New Orleans forever. Follow the unforgettable 2009 season, the dramatic NFC Championship Game, and the Super Bowl XLIV victory that gave Saints fans the moment they had waited generations to experience.
The story does not end with the Lombardi Trophy.
Revisit record-breaking seasons, fierce rivalries, the Minneapolis Miracle, the controversial NFC Championship heartbreak against Los Angeles, and the difficult transition that followed the end of the Brees-Payton era.
Meet the players who helped shape the black-and-gold tradition, including Archie Manning, Rickey Jackson, Sam Mills, Deuce McAllister, Joe Horn, Marques Colston, Drew Brees, Cameron Jordan, Alvin Kamara, and many more.
But this is not only a book about football.
