It was 15 years ago Sunday that New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees changed the direction of the city's bumbling franchise, signing a free-agent deal and kick-starting a streak of success never before seen in the team's existence since 1966.

Looking back on that day, how does Brees remember it?
For one, he thinks the shirt he wore that day was, say, less than fashionable.

After seeing an archived clip of WWL-TV's story that day, Brees tweeted "Nice shirt Brees!"
(It was 2006, Drew. Cut yourself some slack.)
Meanwhile, Saints fans await an announcement from the best free-agent signing in team history.
It's been widely expected that the 42-year-old record-setting quarterback was going to hang it up after this past season, his 20th in the NFL — but more than 50 days after the Saints' season ended, Brees hasn't added to his postgame comments pertaining to a potential retirement.
"I'm going to give myself an opportunity to think about the season, think about a lot of things, just like I did last year, and make a decision," Brees said Jan. 17, shortly after Tampa Bay eliminated the Saints in the NFC divisional playoffs.
