BlueSky Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I've always been partial to these old NFL posters. Would really, really like to find a Saints version one of these days. Had one when I was a kid but of course that one is long gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, another New Orleans institution that's gone into history (like K&B!).If you find it and want to sell it, please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutyfree Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 What memories. I had them all up on my bedroom wall when I was a kid. I remember ordering them from an ad in the back of Sports Illustrated, I think.Fine art posters for the logo/uniform obsessed. Wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I had the Cardinals (of course), Vikings, and a different Rams poster (it had the Gold horns) on my bedroom wall growing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSky Posted November 23, 2006 Author Share Posted November 23, 2006 There's another one for the Saints in a similar style but it's vertical and has a running back wearing #38 and a single-bar facemask. The helmet has a different fleur-de-lis so it's likely from the mid-60's before the uni design was finalized. I can't even find a pic of that one though they have one on the ceiling at the Distant Replays store here in Atlanta. I may take my camera next time I go down there to get a pic. It's not this goofy thing, it's in a similar style to the ones in my first post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutyfree Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Yup, had that one, too. Also, the more surreal Saints poster referenced (with the horn player in the guy's stomach) earlier...which I loved as a kid and do today.The NFL would never market such lovely posters today. They're too abstract, too much negative space, no snarls.... leaves too much to the imagination.Too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tulanebc Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Wow...this reminds me of a bobblehead doll my mom had from the first season ('67), and passed it down to me. It was the old style ones with the big eyes and smiling face, and he was wearing #0 on the front and back. And NOT ONLY do I remember Maison Blanche....but Schwegmann's...Katz and Bestoff's (K&B's)....two stores that made their own vodka and whiskey. Doesn't beat that ANYWHERE....:-D Oh, don't forget Krauss on the corner of Canal Street and North Rampart....R.I.P. If you inherit Randy Johnson's facial genes, he owes you $97,000 at the very least.

leedsunited Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Ah, those look before my time. What I remember are these late 70s, early 80s posters - I had nearly all of them in my room when I was a wee lad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy money was made by running down lonely carts in the parking lot!What memories...I had, and have, one of those bobbleheads. Had as in back in the day when I was a kid, and it got lost/crushed/given away/whatever at some point. Have as in found an authentic one on eBay and it's now on what my wife calls my "Saints shrine" along with some other stuff like a Saints helmet and one of those Saints popcorn containers from Tulane Stadium. When the popcorn was gone, the bottom was perforated so you could tear it out and use the container as a megaphone. Found that on eBay too.I remember going to the fun arcade on Veterans next to Dorignac's grocery store. They had one of those football games where each player had a trackball and the "players" were X's and O's. Know what else I saw on eBay several years ago? Back to Tulane Stadium again...remember the Dixie Beer vendors had those backpack-style dispensers that kind of looked like they belonged on an astronaut or a Ghostbuster? There was a cup dispenser on one side and a hose and nozzle on the other. I'm not a beer drinker and they wanted like $500 for the thing but boy did it bring back memories of Kilmer, Abramowicz, Stonebreaker...and Buddy Diliberto talking about playing "Atlanter."Can't decide what sounds better right now, a po-boy or a snoball.
