Potential new names if the Saints move to SA permanently

[GreenMonster]

What would you like to see as the name of the Saints if they make a permanent move to San Antonio???

I think the San Antonio Assault would make a cool name.

[IHStangFan]

The San Antonio Siege, as it will no doubt be somehow connected to the events that took place at the Alamo.

[District303aPastPlayer]

how about the Alamos?

[AggieJohn]

San Antonio Missions

[IHStangFan]

maybe they'll just stay the Saints?

[Txz_Made_32]

San Antonio Bandit

[SintonFan]

IF IT HAPPENED...
lol
Introducing the San Antonio Chupacabras. :inlove:
lol Nothing sounds great with San Antonio...
You still can't go with "Saint Anthony's Saints".:(

[HM33]

I was thinking maybe something like Canes or somthing related to what happened in LA.

[GreenMonster]

HaHaHaHa....... Not sure how the NFL would like the Mushrooms in there. Maybe they should change the name to the Jerry Garcia's, play only Greatful Dead music, and invite all the hippies to unite for season tickets. They could build a commune right there in the parking lot even.

[IHStangFan]

LOL....hell, The San Antonio Borrachos suits me just fine!!

Go Corporate and have the San Antonio Taco Bells

how bout the San Antonio River Walkers.......

wait...after giving that some thought....it might offend the hookers in San Antone, then they'd strike, and that could just get ugly.....nevermind. :D

[HighSchool Fan]

a better thing for the NFL would be the Los Angeles Saints.

[pirate44]

San Antonio Missionaries


:eek:

Or better yet change that from the Lakers to Saints! :D

[Phil C]

How about the San Antonio Yacares! This would be the only team I know of in North America that uses it.

I doubt New Orleans is ready to give up their Saints. For many, that's all they have left.

[AggieJohn]

they have little to say about it

[BlueBlood]

San Antonio Caballeros

[2813308004]

how about this one...The San Antonio Missions

[AP Panther Fan]

How about the Refugees....okay, okay...I don't like it either. I think they should just remain the Saints.;)

[shellman54]

The team won't stay in San Antonio, it isn't a big enough market, and we all know that if you don't have the money, you don't have anything. If the Saints move, it will be to Los Angeles.

They really have no choice now. Benson was wanting to get a new stadium or move anyways. At this point a new stadium or even upgrading the superdome is such a low priority. NO is just trying to get the basic infrastructure going which could take 6 months to a year. The Saints would be pushing it to be able to play there in 2006. I believe we might have seen the last of the Saints playing home in NO. Plus with all of the folks displaced, the population of NO is surely to take a tumble.

That leaves SA or LA for the Saints. LA turned down a team that became the TEXANS. Would they reconsider now? SA would have to renovate the Alamodome to some degree since it has few luxury boxes which seem to be the current rage. If marketed right, towards the hispanic population, I could see a huge fanbase especially from folks south of the border.

San Antonio Diablos:devil:

[piratebg]

I should have read the post sooner. It seems several people like the chupacabras, so here are a few new ones: the Opossums, the Hillbillies, San Antonio Road Kill, Executioners, Heffers, Steers, Hurricanes, Alamoers?

[Phil C]

This is a picture of a chupacabra! Very dangerous indeed!

[GreenMonster]

San Antonio Diablos does sound good

[Bullaholic]

Why not go from New Orleans Saints to San Antonio Sinners?
On the serious side---I think it should be San Antonio Toros (Always partial to anything about Bulls).

I'd venture to say it's a bit more sophisticated than that..... :p :p

[GWOOD]

Move to San Antonio. Keep the original city name. Drop a letter for the mascot name=

Why not? Besides, that's the name of the roller coaster at Fiesta Texas, isn't it?

[injuredinmelee]

How about the San Antonio Lets Paint some House along the Freeways So people will think more of our city?
I am just not a big fan of the city in general. Nothing against anyone that lives there I would just rather go somewhere else. I have fiends that go to SA every chance they get I jsut dont see it. Opinins just like ___ well you know everyone has em. wow i have used that phrase on here twice today.

[Da Mules]

they were known as the New Orleans 'Aints cause they ain't no good. In San Antonio, they can be the Wont's, cause they still won't be no good :clap:

[GreenGobbla]

i dont know why anyone would want to come to san antonio....i mean, ya i live here, but i kinda have to, i go to college here, but its not the greatest of towns.....especially cuz its the home of the freakin spurs:rolleyes:

I've heard how San Antonio isn't a big enough market. City wise it is larger than than 4/5 of all other NFL cities. San Antonio is now the 8th largest city in the nation. If you combine the areas of Austin and Corpus Christi with SA I think there is a larger than average NFL market. I've heard this many times but don't buy it.
.
Besides Tom Benson, who owns the team lives in SA.:clap:

[sinton66]

San Antonio had a semi pro team years ago called the Toros. That might work.


Besides Tom Benson, who owns the team lives in SA.

Red McCombs of the Vikings has some interest there too.;)

[SintonFan]

Yeah, but he sold the Vikings last year.:(

[SintonFan_inAustin]

Jerry Jones has some interest here too. Cowboys Fan base he wont lay back and let this happen in fear of losing some fans and money!!!!!!:D

[sinfan75]

San Antonio Tubers.

[SnyTigBaseB07]

san antonio spurs....wait taken


san antonio rattlesnake stompers...yaaa theres a good one! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[Astrosdawg07]

San Antonia Katrina's or Huricanes in respect for their old town!

[dman79eagles]

Surely this means ROM

[GreenGobbla]

hahaha

[JettJenkins04]

I read all the way down and I only thought that a couple were descent. But what do ya'll think about the San Antonio Surviors. Would be hard to think of a logo but I think that name would fit the whole situation that has occured in these recent tragedy's of events.

[theyoefnshow]

why not the San Antonio Tornados? Granted it's a little jacked up considering the hurricane but all of our major mascots are "Texas" related. Cowboys, spurs, longhorns, Texans, rangers....what else could we say? The San Antonio Bluebonnets? Or maybe Armadillos? Mocking Birds? lol....
