WHO DAT? Inc. announced it has entered into an exclusive license agreement with Anne Dale Jeweller, LLC to create a collection of Who Dat? jewelry, to be made available to U.S. retailers in 2011.
Anne Dale will be producing a unique, high-quality WHO DAT? jewelry line made with sterling silver, gold and diamonds featuring original designs in pendants, earrings, bracelets and rings.

“We are very excited about our relationship with WHO DAT? Inc., beside the brands popularity and mass appeal, “WHO DAT?” is synonymous with New Orleans and Our Way of Life,” said jewelry designer Anne Dale. “We are thrilled to be working with WHO DAT Inc. and we anticipate that these new designs will become a successful part of the Anne Dale Collection Licensed Jewelry Lines.”
About WHO DAT Inc.
In 1983 Steve Monistere developed a phrase (originated in minstrel shows and vaudeville acts of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and was taken up by jazz and big band performers in the 1920s and 30s) that could be used as a battle cry unique to fans of the New Orleans Saints. With the help of Carlo Nuccio, Monistere created Who Dat? Inc. and trademarked the phrase “Who Dat?”.

Who Dat? Inc. also produced the original Who Dat? song featuring Aaron Neville and a handful of Saints players. At that point, “Who Dat Nation” was born and Who Dat? Inc. was living the dream.
Who Dat? Inc. developed and produced radio and TV jingles to promote its brand. If not for Who Dat? Inc.’s “hard work and investments in time, energy, and money put forth”, the phrase Who Dat? “would not have gained the recognition it has today.”
In April 1988, the Saints wanted Who Dat? Inc. to play a role in creating a “Who Dat! Fan Club” for the upcoming season. Who Dat? Inc. executed an agreement with the Saints and a fan club was launched with “life memberships for Who Dats everywhere”.
