The Vince Lombardi Trophy is taking a trip around the Gulf South.
The New Orleans Saints, along with the United States Marine Corps and the National Guard, will go on a “Championship Tour” this month to various places around the Gulf South region to celebrate the Saints’ 31-17 Super Bowl victory against the Indianapolis Colts on Feb. 7.
The Lombardi Trophy will be on display during the tour, along with quarterback Drew Brees’ Super Bowl helmet and jersey, the George S. Halas NFC Championship Trophy, a Super Bowl highlight video and an official Super Bowl ring.

“It’s different,” Canfield said last week while attending the NFL’s rookie symposium at La Costa Resort and Spa. “That crawfish boil was my first real taste of the spirit of the fans and their enthusiasm for that team is like no other.”
