Gumbo (mascot)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gumbo the dog is the official mascot of the NFL's New Orleans Saints. Gumbo is in the form of a "Saint" Bernard dog. It was the Louisiana Restaurant Association's gift to 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.
