The New Orleans Saints are one of the most beloved teams in the NFL, and they have a unique nickname with an interesting backstory. The team was founded in 1967 as part of an expansion into the Deep South. At that time, very few professional sports franchises were located south of Washington, D. So giving this new team a name that would reflect its location and heritage made sense. After much debate among fans and owners alike, it was decided to call the franchise “the Saints” after New Orleans’ long history with Catholicism – specifically their patron saint St Louis IX (King Louis). This decision also paid homage to all those who had suffered during Hurricane Katrina by giving them something positive to look forward to – football! Not only did this name capture local sentiment, but it also inspired national pride for those living outside Louisiana’s borders due to its religious connotations, thus creating a solid bond between city & state which remains today! Vintage 1960’s New Orleans Saints Round Gold Base Nodder BobbleheadRestoredThis is from the 1965 Gold Base set that was distributed between 1965 and 1967. It has a more mature face than the 1968 set. Stands 7-1/2 tall and made of paper mache’. This has had a few cracks and nicks on the head restored along with the helmet stripe replaced. The rest of the nodder and all other decals are original. A couple of the decals have slight nicks but the nodder looks minty. The spring is strong and bobbles as it should. It has a gold oval sticker on the bottom that reads Exclusive Licensee, Sports Specialties, L. Japan Please see all photos as they are part of the description. Any questions you have please ask and Thanks for Looking!

Bobble head does have some damage to the back of the head/helmet. See photos for exact condition. Shows age, but still a relic.

Original 1967 New Orleans Saints NFL bobblehead by Sports Specialties! Extra detailed face on this one, most I’ve seen have more of a cartoonish look to them. Slight cracking on the top front of the helmet. Subtle flaking paint on the letters and logos but who doesn’t love a little patina. Great colors sure to stand out in any Saints fans collection!
