Sometime possibly in the late 60's early 70's when the team first emerged, but it should be noted that the term "Who Dat?" is common slang in the south, especially in New Orleans, so the cheer version of it was most likely not new or exclusive to the Saints. Though there are some who claim the phrase in other states and say that New Orleans stole it from them, it's more believable that it started with Louisiana and the rest of the south since it is apart of everyday speech.

∙ 12y agoIt began circa 1983, when Bum Phillips was head coach of the Saints and the team came close to making the playoffs. New Orleans fans adopted a popular football chant and adopted it as their own. It went: "Who dat? Who dat? Who dat say dey gonna beat dem Saints? Who dat? Who dat?" Occasionally, opposing teams would defeat the Saints and respond, "We dat!"

Who started the saying Who Day the Bengals or the Saints?
The Bengals fans say Who Day(or Dey) while the Saints fans say Who Dat!, so I guess the Bengals fans said "who day" first. But as for who started the chant first, it's been said that Who Dat! came first and that it didn't start with the Saints but with another school team in Louisiana. But a lot agree that it started in the south and not anywhere else because of the orgin of speech.Both "Who Dey" and "Who Dat" are grammatically incorrect, but seeing as people in Louisiana actually use who dat in everyday speech and not just in a chant;Example: Who dat said dat?, or Who dat at da do',or Who dat supposed to be?as opposed to people in Ohio using who dey only in their chant, it can be said that it most likely started with the southern state Louisiana. It's just more natural.
