The company that made a 1983 recording of what became one of the New Orleans Saints' most popular cheers has filed a trademark suit against the state and the team. NFL Properties LLC, which deals with National Football League trademarks, is also a defendant in the suit filed Thursday in federal district court in Baton Rouge by Who Dat? Inc where they claim the defendants damaged its right to profit before the Saints' Super Bowl championship last month. NFL Properties claimed rights to the phrase and the fleur-de-lis, which the team uses as a logo but it backed down after state Attorney General James D. "Buddy" Caldwell said both are public domain.

Haha, I hope these guys fleece the NFL - this is karma. Especially after all the crap the league gave local venders in NO over copyright infringement AND didn't allow the city to show the game in the Super Dome so they could get more ad bucks.
