Re: What Is This BS Im Hearing About the NFL Thinking They Own "Who Dat?"
As long as they don't put the Saints logo or use their colors they are fine. Who Dat came first before Who Dey and even documented in songs from like the 40's out of our area. It was around before the Saints when the cajuns would chant for the local college teams in the area.

I'm surprised that the NFL hasn't sued Webster's Dictionary for having words that contain the letters "n", "f", or "l".

Re: What Is This BS Im Hearing About the NFL Thinking They Own "Who Dat?"
The potential legal problems are not worth a short term windfall to some folks, is my point. Many folks are misinformed about copyrights and trademarks. As an example I had someone threaten to sue me for using a word in an article in a arts/culture/music magazine. I referred to cybercafe in a general sense and some twit thought I was stepping on their intellectual property right toes. I will digress before I type the word douchebag. The thing to consider is someone, somewhere would want to sue you if you make money off of who dat. I just want the Saints to win the Super Bowl. I don't give a ratsarse about making money on the deal. :-/ Bootleg Who Dat! |

Re: What Is This BS Im Hearing About the NFL Thinking They Own "Who Dat?"
I think it would be great for all the stores to sell black, gold or white shirts with a big 'WHO DAT!' on them. I don't care how big a company you are, you cannot licence words and I have only ever heard of 2 companies that have licenced colours and even then I don't think they would waste time proving that it is the exact same shade. No Fleur-de-Lys, no Saints logos, just a big Who Dat. I'm telling you they couldn't do a thing but everyone would still know what it was about.

Re: NFL Orders Shops to Stop Selling "Who Dat" Gear [Merged]
It's bad enough that Al "Crypt Reeker" Davis forced the Ravens to change their logo because of the shield, which looks nothing like that crap they have on their helmets. Oh, does anyone remember the Brass? The NHL and the St. Louis Blews for the minor league hockey team to change their logo because of one horn when the Brass had three. I can see if there is some concrete evidence about the NFL's rights and bylaws, but this is ridiculous. Nobody cared when the Saints were annual doormats. Now that the team is in the Big Show (Go ahead, take that from me, I dare ya!!), they are showing up late like a crackhead. FORTY-THREE YEARS LATE!!!

Re: NFL Orders Shops to Stop Selling "Who Dat" Gear [Merged]
A good place to start letting the NFL know how you feel is the PR department. They'll understand that this has the potential to be really bad for the NFL.
