BATON ROUGE, La. — Louisiana’s attorney general said Monday that shops can sell T-shirts with the phrase “Who Dat” and the fleur-de-lis symbol if they don’t make other references to the New Orleans Saints or the National Football League.
Attorney General Buddy Caldwell said he had a conference call with the NFL’s general counsel to discuss cease-and-desist letters that some Louisiana T-shirt makers received from the league. The letters demanded that the businesses stop selling shirts featuring the phrase that’s part of a popular cheer by Saints fans, citing trademark infringement.
“They’ve conceded and they’ve said they have no intention of claiming the fleur-de-lis, which would be ridiculous, or the ‘Who Dat,’ which would be equally ridiculous,” Caldwell said.
