As long as they don't put the Saints logo or use their colors they are fine.

That is likely true. I'd be leery, however.

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!
