For me it was this 2002 team, with Aaron Brooks, Deuce McAllister, Joe Horn, LeCharles Bentley!

I was finally old enough to chose my own favorite team and the Black and Gold grabbed hold of me!

What about everyone else?

Pretty new fan to the Saints and to the sport in general - I only started following the NFL in 2020 (am in the UK and needed a COVID lockdown hobby haha) and ended up gravitating towards NOLA for a variety of reasons, like the history (perennial underdogs until that fairy tale SB run), the culture, and of course the black and gold!!

I barely understood the rules of the game a couple of years ago, but these days I can't imagine following any other team.

I guess in retrospect I'm kinda sad that I missed out on the best years of Brees' career, but I'm here now and enjoying the ride!

Glad to have you! And yeah football can definitely be weird for people that didn't grow up around it.

If you enjoy the game and the spectacle of it all, I highly recommend watching college football! Same sport (couple of rule variations) but the feel / vibe, passion, and pageantry are IMO more similar to the UKs football.
