Fleur-de-lis
New Orleans, the most important city in the Louisiana Territory, adopted the fleur de lis as a symbol of unity and a representation of the town itself. Today, the fleur de lis is used by professional sports teams in New Orleans, including the Saints of the National Football League.
The fleur de lis traditionally represents the virtues of perfection, light and life. The symbol is often associated with French royalty, although Catholics and foreign military units have also used the symbol.
