AG says 'Who Dat' spat cleared up with NFL

Posted: Feb 1, 2010 8:03 PM

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) -- Attorney General Buddy Caldwell says the
NFL is conceding that it has no ownership rights to the
fleur-de-lis or the popular New Orleans Saints phrase "Who Dat."
Caldwell said Monday he had a conference call with the NFL's
general counsel to clarify recent cease-and-desist letters received
by some T-shirt makers in the state that demanded they stop selling
shirts with the traditional cheer of Saints fans.
Caldwell says the letters were confusing. But he says the NFL is
only objecting to shirts that are marketed or presented as an
official Saints or NFL product. So, those shirts that are black and
gold and say "Who Dat" can be sold, he says, if they don't
purport to be Saints gear.
