Who started the Who Dey chant?

Who Dat originated before Who Dey. The oldest documented use was in a New Orleans Daily Picayune article in 1852.
It was used in some Louisiana colleges and high schools before the Bengals existed.

But Who Dey started around 1981 with the Bengals, likely as an adaptation of Who Dat.
The Saints adopted Who Dat after the Bengals started Who Dey.

Great post, thanks for explaining it.  Rock On
