Gumbo ( mascot ) - Wikipedia Gumbo ( mascot ) Gumbo the Dog is one of two official mascots of the NFL 's New Orleans Saints, the other being Sir Saint. Gumbo is in the form of a Saint Bernard dog and wears the number 00. It was the Louisiana Restaurant Association 's gift to the Saints. From the New Orleans Saints ' website : `` It was a natural evolution of this idea that the dog be a Saint Bernard, and the name, Gumbo ( a conglomeration of food and an iconic New Orleanian dish ), reflects the Restaurant Association as well as a famous traditional Cajun meal loved by young and old, rich and poor ( a mix like all people who love and support the Saints ). '' Even though Gumbo went into a brief retirement, he was brought back by popular demand. For years, Gumbo was, in fact, a real Saint Bernard dog that roamed the sidelines in Saints ' apparel for dogs. The reason for choosing this breed of dog is the fact that Orleans Parish ( where the City of New Orleans lies ) shares a border with St. Bernard Parish to the east. The present mascot consists of a person wearing a Saint Bernard dog head and a football uniform. He is usually seen on the sidelines during games near the goalpost and sometimes celebrates touchdowns with Saints players. References Jump up ^ Scaffidi, Steven ( 2010 ). Ai n't Dat Super !.
