Saints honoring Sam Mills’ Hall of Fame induction with ‘Dome Patrol’ poster for fans

Now this is cool. Remember that iconic poster every teenaged New Orleans Saints fan had hanging in their room of the “Dome Patrol” linebackers standing tall in matching fatigues and gold wraparound sunglasses? Replica posters will be handed out to fans in attendance for Monday night’s home game with the Baltimore Ravens at the Caesars Superdome this week, featuring the legendary Rickey Jackson, Sam Mills, Vaughan Johnson, and Pat Swilling.

It’s a very appropriate commemoration for Mills’ long-awaited induction to the Pro Football Hall of Fame earlier this year, where a bronze bust in his likeness joined Jackson for time immemorial. Mills died of cancer in 2005 but his family and supporters kept his Hall of Fame campaign going, finally finding success when he was inducted as part of the Class of 2022.

So you can bet it’s going to be a joyous occasion celebrating this achievement with Mills’ family, friends, and old teammates. Will you be in that number?
