    Male New Orleans Saints Fans parade in dresses Pt. 1

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     marcpagani is a photographer from New Orleans, and he had this to say about the community spirit leading up to the Super Bowl: "This city is still desperately trying to recover from the effects of Katrina, and whether you're a fan or not of the team and/or the game in general, it's obvious that this event (the Super Bowl and the the weeks leading up to it) are bring this community together in a very real, potent way."

    - nsaidi, CNN iReport producer

    The late Buddy Diliberto, famed New Orleans sportscaster, once said that if the Saints ever made it to the Super Bowl, he would walk down the street wearing a dress.  Though he passed in 2005, his memory lived on today in the "Buddy and Bobby's Brawd's Bunch-of-Men Dress March".  Thousands of Saints fans lined the streets on New Orleans to cheer on hundreds of men dressed in, well, dresses and Saints gear to celebrate the Saints first trip to the Super Bowl.  Remember, as crazy as this celebration looks, this is occurring ONE WEEK before the game even starts.  Imagine the pandemonium in New Orleans if the Saints win!
