Welcome To the Monroe Saints Web Page 

As a Saints fan, the question you asked more than any other is, "What is that thing on the Saints' helmet? "   While there are different meanings, this explanation comes straight from the 1999 New Orleans Saints Record and Fact Book.  The Fleur de Lis, the emblem that the Saints wear on their helmets, is a symbol from the Court of Louis XIV.  It is a French word that stands for "Flower of the Lilly".  The Fleur de Lis is a symbol of New Orleans which was adopted during the French occupation of Louisiana, from 1682 through 1762.  Due to its three "petals", the Fleur de Lis has been used to represent the Holy Trinity. Traditionally, it has been used to represent French royalty, and in that sense it is said to signify perfection, light, and life.   But we use it because we like it.

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat"

"The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand."
