NFL Orders Shops to Stop Selling "Who Dat" Gear [Merged]

cajunvoodoo · 01-28-2010, 09:09 AM

The NFL didn't care until games were being won and national attention shifted to the Saints.

I doubt this forum is "really" subject to lawsuits because there's no money in it for the NFL at this time.

Anyone knows who owns "Americas Team"? I've seen plenty of shirts with that crap on it and they weren't NFL branded.

Yeah and what about "SKOL Vikings". Oh wait, no one cares about these two any longer.

Not sure. I don't claim to know who dat, just to be one.

This web site is indeed at risk. The NFL disclaimer doesn't say, make money...

it says ACCOUNTS OF THE GAME.

Again, I've seen the NFL tell retired players to be careful with www logo use or get in legal hot water. That wasn't a for profit endeavor.

You think this place is immune? C'mon now.

Not only that, apparently there is a bar somewhere in NOLA called Who Dats, and they are going after them as well.

There goes my idea for the "Who Dat Blues Revue Band"..talk about give you the blues...

Of course this place isn't immune. I don't think anyone would claim that. Look around, no one person or thing is immune to any lawsuit provided someone wants and has the finances to wrap another up in legal issues but it's always about money. If there isn't a profit concerned, no one really cares.

The part that I am struggling with is a matter of consistency. Again, why is it just NOW an issue? I doubt it would be an issue if the Saints weren't in the SB.

I sent out a "Who Dat!" email to all my friends, family and whoever else was in my contact list. Do I need a lawyer?

Don't get me wrong. I'm not really defending the NFL's aggressive intellectual property right stance... just sayin it exists.

I think I speak for everyone here, when I say, that I would like to see their "rights" on paper, and also see exactly where it is, that they own the rights to "Who Dat". Because I don't think that they do. I might be wrong, but I've never seen the words, "liscensed by the NFL", on any of the "Who Dat" merchandise I've seen online, or anywhere else.

They'll be going after Mardi Gras next...
Let's litigate it in the 5th Circuit Court downtown;
so we can run these clowns out of town on a rail.
