The NFL is issuing cease and desist letters to New Orleans t-shirt makers using the "who dat" slogan on their merchandise leading up to the Super Bowl. The slogan -- which has some sort of meaning and origin, although no one seems clear on either -- is not owned by the NFL. Nor is it owned by the Saints.
