Los Santos Saints

Logo of the Los Santos Saints.

The Los Santos Saints are a professional baseball team in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Description

The reference to the Saints being a baseball team is in the game manual, showing the slogan "Your City's Premier Baseball Team, Until We Get A Better Offer", referencing the frequent moving professional sports teams did in the late 20th century.

The Saints play at the Los Santos Forum in East Beach, Los Santos, based on the real-life Great Western Forum (also known as the Los Angeles Forum), where the professional basketball team, the Los Angeles Lakers, played from 1967 to 1999.

The player can buy a #7 Saints jersey ($30), shorts ($60) and a chain ($25) at ProLaps. Also, Big Smoke's beta model and the statue of him in his crack palace both wear a #88 Saints jersey. Sweet Johnson is almost always shown wearing a green baseball cap with the 'LS' logo on it. The logo is almost exactly the same as the Saints' logo, implying that Sweet is wearing a green version of a Saints' hat. However, this could just be a hat representing Los Santos, not precisely the Saints themselves.

Influence

Their uniforms are based on the Los Angeles Clippers uniform from 2001-2010, and their logo is similar to the Los Angeles Dodgers'. The name could be a reference to the professional baseball team Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (known as the Anaheim Angels at the time of the game's release, also known as the Los Angeles Angels from 1961-1965), or the professional football team, the New Orleans Saints.
