The Baltimore Ravens have gone out of their way to show thanks to the city of New Orleans for the experience they had while they were visiting for Super Bowl XLVII. Of course, the Ravens experience was especially great after defeating the San Francisco 49ers and hoisting the Lombardi Trophy, but their gesture of kindness is still impressive.

According to Pro Football Talk, the Ravens have donated a pair of 2013 Harley Davidson FLHP motorcycles to the New Orleans Police Department Traffic Division.

Ravens wide receiver, Dancing With The Stars cast member and New Orleans native Jacoby Jones will be making the announcement at a press conference on Wednesday. Jones will present the motorcycles, but the Ravens didn’t stop there.

Baltimore also took out an ad in the New Orleans Times-Picayune that read: “to the citizens of New Orleans, including your outstanding police department, for your warm reception and first-class service to Ravens players, coaches and fans.”

Here is an image of the ad:

There hasn’t been a story like this surface in the past, but we hope to see it become a more common gesture from the Super Bowl winning teams.
