Local Wendy's partnered with a company called "I hate enterprises" to print these shirts and sold them prior to the 1979 season opener vs Atlanta. This was because the previous season the Saints went 7-9 and lost to Atlanta twice on the last play of the game, two weeks apart. First one was in the Dome on Bartkowski's last-second trips-right bomb they called "Big Ben". Two weeks later on the Fulton County demolition derby track the trailing falcons heaved a last-second incomplete pass into the end zone, game over. No, wait. DPI against the Saints. Ref Grover Klemmer flags a clean pass breakup giving Atlanta an untimed down from the one yard line, boom, Saints lose. The two last second losses to Atlanta would have flipped that Dick Nolan coached Saints squad to a possible winning record for the first time ever. Saints also lost three one-score games that season, were very close to being 12-4! So Saints host the next year (1979) opener against Atlanta. Probably 90% of the fans in the Dome are sporting "I Hate the Falcons" shirts. Tie game, overtime, Saints snap the ball over Erxleben's head, Atlanta wins on OT walkoff. I still hate those buggars.
