Recognition, Notoriety, and Prestige!?

This will totally give my fanaticism away. I use to create logos for NCAA football the game and thought if Louisiana was a LSU, or Alabama what would that look like so I create these logos.

I love our logo’s but we need something else to have a big time P-5 feel. So I always try to create something that had that look.

I love the Ragin Cajun logo but feels small time, I like the FDL better, but we need to step it up, and a lot people don’t like it because it is copying the Saints. We need to dictate who we are I think something like that would be a step in the right direction.

Trust me I have looked and mess with it countless hours.

Total Nerd!!! I know

I use 3D paint so it is not a real hat. All I did was match the color with that logo. That L probably could be thicker, but seriously that hat looks just as good as Florida, Arkansas, Texas, Clemson etc. do I need to go on? Don’t reinvent the wheel, stick to what works! Keep it simple.

LA looks to much like Los Angeles to me, L’siana, I mean I can look at that and say that’s Louisiana.

Try to think how else would you abbreviate it and automatically know that’s Louisiana?

There is no other way except for LA, or L’ana, Louana, L’iana, Losiana, Louis(Louisville). I mean nothing else works

Unless the whole word is spelled out, "LA" is on every envelope and or package that comes in or goes out of Louisiana.

I like your L though.

I like the L, but what's weird is LSU is starting to release merch with solely an L on it (I think a callback to a retro baseball jersey). Also, their players/coaches are starting to make an L with their hands as their gesture.

Dad went there pre WW2. His beanie has an “L” on it.

Here it is trust me I have looked at alot of logos and alot of L's and I think this one fits the best. It can interchange from red to white, either way. Think of this like a secondary logo. Like the A for Arkansas, or F for Florida, or A for Arizona. Or the O for Oregon

Geaux Boomer!

If they are doing it all it means that it works. We need to be doing the same thing. Only difference is that we are Louisiana they are Louisiana State.

I think Texas, LSU, Arkansas is better at marketing then we are? If they are coming out with merch with an L we should be coming out with merch with an L. We are the one with the name!

If Louisiana was a P-5 school or in the SEC what would that look like? It would look like it did on CBS. What kind of signage would we use, jerseys, marketing etc.?

See we have to get out of this small time thinking and start thinking differently. I like Ragin Cajuns and it is unique, but we need something that establishes us as Louisiana.

That will take another decade or so to achieve…if ever. But the war is over.

That is a moot point as we are Louisiana nationally. I think moving to an L on the branding side would be very forward thinking.

L’siana just looks….strange. LA is Louisiana’s abbreviation. If people follow sports they would know LA is short for Louisiana. Wouldn’t confuse it with Los Angeles cause the only L.A. teams in the field are usc and ucla. Jmo

…..Just a note on hand/finger signs……LSU uses the thumb and index finger to make an L…….now they steal even our L which is just Louisiana!

I think if LSU is doing the L it shouldn’t matter when it comes to us. It makes more sense for us to use it then them.

I think we can marketed it better and establish it. LSU already has there signage, they ain’t switching to a L any time soon. I still think mine is better, a block L wouldn’t match our style anyway.

If we can be successful in Football, Basketball, Baseball, and Softball etc. we can really become a household name like Mississippi St. or Oklahoma St..

We won the name battle we just got to handle our business on the field!

Yep I could just hear the lame-ass a&m@br fan with the equally lame-ass

I didn’t know Louisville was playing.

A year ago it was time for him to go. Does one tournament appearance, where again we are one and done, seriously buy him 3+ more years?

---

What kind of coach can we get after winning the tournament, placing 3rd in regular season just a game back and not getting a new deal? Not much without lots of Benjamins.

I’m not saying you’re wrong about Marlin, but you better have your replacement in line with the circumstances.

If I had to name some I would totally go after Austin Claunch from Nicholls State, or Robert Jones from Norfolk State.

Personally I would go after Austin Claunch he is 32 so he is young.

I like Marlin though he runs a clean program, that has to count for something and he has made it to the tournament.

I expect football to go to a bowl game every year, I would expect the softball and baseball to make it to a regional, and basketball to make the NCAA tournament every 4 to 5 yrs.

That’s the level of expectation I have for our coaches.

Marlin and his staff did their jobs this season well. With that said, averaging 6th place in conference in the next four years like we saw from 2019-2022 is not going to cut it. It’s imperative to maintain a level of competitiveness in this league.

I’m in the corner of absolutely no to any coach vested in the Louisiana LASAR retirement system. Don’t care if they’re the next John Wooden. We have enough of those “getting to retirement surfers” here, just look at their multiple “meh” resumes.

If you feel otherwise, do your own research.

I did the L in red and it was way harder to do it in that then anything I have tried. Use your imagination, if it was cleaned up the red L would look great.

Trust me the University needs to consider this L.Attachment 17424

……Well how about the Cooking oil Lou’Anna??? I can just see Dan McD saying this!

if we were going with just an L why not use the silhouette of the state itself, maybe with a small fdl where we are located
