It’s Saints game day and fans are proudly showing their allegiance. On Magazine St., a store owner hands out ribbons, which are more than just a plea for the Saints to beat the San Francisco 49ers. They are a statement against what many see as a shakedown.
On the FOX 8 Morning News, Fleurty Girl clothing shop owner Lauren Thom said that she and other shop owners, both in the New Orleans area, and in Baton Rouge, have been ordered by Steve Monistere, the man who claims to own ‘Who Dat,’ to pay a percentage of whatever ‘Who Dat’ merchandise they sell, beginning now.

“Everybody owns it, so nobody owns it. It’s like suing God for gravity,” FOX 8 Legal Analyst Joe Raspanti said.

NEW ORLEANS — The battle over who owns the phrase “Who Dat” is already in court, and several merchandisers in the metro area received letters saying they are required to pay licensing fees to the company Who Dat?, Inc. to sell anything with the phrase printed on it.
Who Dat?, Inc. maintains that they’ve been licensing the phrase since the 1980s, and it’s their intellectual property.
“In 1983, we got excited and wrote a song,” said Steve Monistere about how they ended up registering a trademark of ‘Who Dat?” that same year.
No one denies that Sal and Steve Monistere and Carlo Nuccio wrote a version of “When the Saints Go Marching In,” performed by Aaron Neville, with the “Who Dat” chant in the song.
But the issue is not who owns the song, but who owns the phrase “Who Dat.”
The ball is now in WhoDat? incs court, so to say.
San Francisco – The New Orleans Saints have announced the winner of the raffle for an official Super Bowl XLIV championship ring identical to the one that was awarded to the ownership, players, coaches and administrative staff that was custom designed by Tiffany and Co. to benefit those affected directly by the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Christopher S. Lynn of Hattiesburg, Mississippi is the winner of the ring. The Saints Gulf Coast Renewal Fund raised nearly $1.4 million through the raffle.
The numbers do not lie. 49ers are going down.
Who is ready for some Gruden love??
NEW ORLEANS — U.S. Sen. David Vitter is taunting the latest group to claim ownership of the phrase “Who Dat,” sending a letter that tells the company to drop its trademark lawsuit or meet him in court.Vitter jumped into the fray over the popular Saints chant by sending two of his T-shirts to the owners of the company, “Who Dat? Inc.” The T-shirts, printed earlier this year when the NFL asked shop owners to stop selling Who Dat merchandise, say “Who Dat say we can’t print Who Dat! © TM 2010 David Vitter (just kidding)””You’re kidding, right? Claiming you own the legal rights to the term ‘Who Dat’?” Vitter wrote in his letter to the company.
Bobby and his funny Satchmo voice….
