In the 1980s, the New Orleans Saints were not only the worst team in the National Football League, but one of the worse professional sports teams. Embarrassed to be seen cheering for such a terrible team, fans wore paper bags to hide their identities and cheered for the “Aints”. Now, over thirty years later, these practices are long gone as fans openly and passionately cheer for their Super Bowl winning team. The images above show this progression in the fandom, from the “bigheads” of the 80s to the fans of today who are decked out in gear every Sunday loudly cheering for the Saints.
