Nothing against Saints fans, but the actual chant started with the Bengals.
Who dat has been a popular phrase in Louisiana and the New Orleans area since the 1800's. So the actual phrase did start in New Orleans. As far as the chant goes, the Bengals began using the Who Dey chant in 1981. It really took off as playoff time approached and the local brewing company Hudepohl put out beer cans that said Hu-Dey.
In the late 1970's (around 1979) Patterson High School in Louisiana was using the Who Dat chant. It was also adopted and used at LSU games. It wasn't until 1983 when a song was made that the New Orleans Saints actually started using Who Dat as a chant. They ripped it off from a high school and LSU.
So, in the end, the Bengals chant came before the Saints. The Who Dat chant was around before the Who Dey chant, but the Saints weren't using it until after the Bengals were using the Who Dey chant.
Most of you will not care and will pass by this, but it is fun. Just because **** asses can't say "Who's that" doesn't mean the Saints were using the chant first. They weren't the first to use a similar chant in the NFL and they weren't even the first to use the chant in their own state.
