Who Dey has been around for decades – ever since the inception of the National Football League itself! Back in 1933, the Cincinnati Reds professional football team debuted, and with it, the slogan “Who Dey”. Quickly, it became a local favourite, and over the years, has become a nationwide phenomenon as well.
I’ve been lucky enough to experience the phenomenon of Who Dey for more than a decade. From attending my first NFL game as a young child to watching from the comfort of my own home every week (regardless of winning or losing), I’ve seen the legend of Who Dey grow and gain more traction.
It totally rocks that Who Dey has been able to not only survive but to thrive for such a long time. There’s no better feeling than entering Paul Brown Stadium on an autumn Sunday and hearing the thunderous roar of thousands of Who Dey fans cheering together. The emotion and energy that it brings is unbeatable.
In my opinion, what’s kept Who Dey alive all these years is its timelessness. It’s like a great song – someone could have heard it for the first time 10 years ago, and it’s still as great as it ever was. Who Dey has been used in everything from marketing campaigns to the recent addition of a furry fan favorite mascot. It’s been a constant presence through the highs and lows of the NFL, as clear an illustration as any that the power of Who Dey won’t be denied.
And, thankfully, it doesn’t look like Who Dey is going anywhere anytime soon – the team and its organization continues to amaze me, drawing in even more fans year after year. Through the use of great marketing campaigns, adorable furry mascots, and simply great football, Who Dey has become an irreplaceable part of NFL history for many.
The continued success of Who Dey truly speaks for itself. It has been a source of excitement and while there have been tumultuous times before, it seems that Who Dey has a bright future ahead of it. No matter what the outcome of the NFC Championship may be, I’ll be cheering right alongside all the Who Dey fans, showing my support and rallying around the undying spirit of the Cincinnati Bengals. Who Dey, Who Dey, Who Dey gonna beat? Nobody, that’s who!
