How so?

There is a context to be made!!

I try to read between the lines. If you were personally contacted by her and she said, "Please do not use any signage in regard to this spirit leader," okay, I get that.

If you wanted to end it just give an explanation on this mascot(spirit leader) doesnt align with our values. No need for lawyers.

If someone from their legal department said, "Look, we will come after you if you use any signage that doesn't align with our core principles as a mascot," then, if the second scenario happened, they will stop at nothing to shut it down.

Also, how did KADN get it? Wouldn't you want it to happen in-house? So who leaked it and why? If the University leaked it, then that is very shady on their part.

As an upstanding citizen with morals and integrity, why wouldn't you just email and be done with it? Why would you comment to a news agency?

That is pretty unethical and unprofessional!!

Makes me wonder if I need to stop doing logos and proposing it because of this! Idk if that is copyright infringement?

I am just trying to find a better way to promote Louisiana for them not for me. I think i might be done with all that.

On the topic of shutting down ideas before they really know the concept...

Its like Cajun Charlie stated so well back in the day.

"I am always amazed how some folks leap before they look!"

He was responding to UL leaping to "NO" after a single solitary complaint about the Pine Leaf Boys.

Your continued promotion of this idea on social media and other platforms has the potential to harm our strong national reputation by creating brand confusion.

Further, the University has a responsibility to say that it is not affiliated with, does not endorse and does not control any efforts to fundraise in support of the concept.

Shocker, Stephens should know better, she comes from Auburn where it has been proven that a fan generated War Eagle and a school endorsed Tiger can coexist without creating true brand confusion or cause harm to a national reputation.

So this was shot down a year ago by the university yet, full steam ahead.

Not the first, nor the last a fan based push gets shot down.

I enjoy RP and some of the passion. Tarot cards, magic 8 ball and reading the room be darned!
