The team plays its home games at Pan American Stadium, where they have played since 2009. The team's colors are purple, green, and white.
Prior to the 2009 season the team was known as the New Orleans Shell Shockers, due to its sponsorship by the Shell Oil Company. When that sponsorship ended before the 2008 season, the "Shell" was subsequently dropped from its name, and prior to the 2009 season the team changed its name, colors, and crest entirely, rebranding themselves as the New Orleans Jesters.

Famous quotes containing the word jesters:
“The skipping King, he ambled up and down,
With shallow jesters and rash bavin wits,
Soon kindled and soon burnt, carded his state,
Mingled his royalty with cap’ring fools.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
