The team's logo is a fleur-de-lis, which is associated with French monarchy. The term is literally translated from French as "flower of the lily".

The city of New Orleans was founded by the French Mississippi Company, under the direction of Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville. When the NFL awarded the team to the city, the owners naturally chose to stick with their French heritage when designing the logo.
