Wikipedia: When the Saints Go Marching In
“When the Saints Go Marching In”, often referred to as “The Saints”, is a Black Spiritual. Though it originated as a Christian hymn, it is often played by jazz bands. This song was famously recorded on May 13, 1938 by Louis Armstrong and his Orchestra. The song is sometimes confused with a similarly titled composition “When the Saints Are Marching In” from 1896 by Katharine Purvis (lyrics) and James Milton Black (music).
Wikipedia: New Orleans Saints
The New Orleans Saints are a professional American football team based in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Saints currently compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member of the league’s National Football Conference (NFC) South division. The team was founded by John W. Mecom Jr., David Dixon and the city of New Orleans. The Saints began play in Tulane Stadium in 1967.
The name “Saints” is an allusion to November 1 being All Saints Day in the Catholic faith, New Orleans’ large Catholic population, and the spiritual “When the Saints Go Marching In”, which is strongly associated with New Orleans and often sung by fans at games. The franchise was founded on November 1, 1966. The team’s primary colors are old gold and black; their logo is a simplified fleur-de-lis.
7 May 1993, The Times-Picayune (New Orleans, LA), “More Big Easy Moviemaking” by David Baron, Lagniappe sec., pg. L22, col. 4:
Meanwhile . . . a similarly modest but decidedly less mainstream project is set to go before the cameras in the Crescent City in September. Chris Johnstone’s “Saint City,” an independent feature about a lovelorn music-festival producer searching for an authentic blues horn section to back a stubborn but legendary blues artist, is the second outing by the director of “Buffalo Jump,” a low-budget hit on the festival circuit that may get a Movie Pitchers run in the near future.
