Who Dey vs Who Dat

Essentially, the beer, "HuDey," has an actual name that I can't remember right now (HuDey is a nickname that was added after the success of the team) that when said in a drawl, sounds like, "Who Dey," which got coined by the team and began to get used just prior to 1981 (that year it gained steam though, as the team made the SB).

"Who Dat," has indeed been used for over a century in Louisiana, though I can't remember the origin for it now. It was not used in a football sense, however, until AFTER Who Dey became popular in Cincinnati.

So essentially, we came up with the cool thing, that had NOTHING to do with what came first and the Saints took what came first, then repurposed it to fit their team and it is an offshoot/ripoff of our slogan.

And that's the truth.

Hudepohl beer was sold at the ballparks and the guys carrying it up and down the stairs used to holler Hudy, get your Hudy. Then the beer marketed the Who-Dey beer.
