NEW ORLEANS — The New Orleans Saints cheerleading squad - formerly known as the Saintsations - has a new name.
The NFL team shared on social media on Monday that the new name for its entertainment team will now be known as the "Saints Cheer Krewe."
"We asked Saints nation to tell us what we should call our new entertainment team, which includes the region's best dancer's cheerleaders and stunters!" a tweet on the Saints' official Twitter account said. "With the help of our fans, this team will now be known as the Saints Cheer Krewe powered by Entergy."
The Times-Picayune | New Orleans Advocate reported in September that the Saints were merging its Saintsations cheerleaders, Black & Gold Patrol sign wavers, and other entertainment employees into the new team. The public was asked to submit their suggestions for the 48-person crew.
