This is general issue as most recruits put a thank you out to the University of XXXXXX, whether it is correct or not. I have seen University of Tulane, I have seen University of Oklahoma (which is technically correct, but their brand is OU, not UoO), University of Auburn and finally the University of Florida State.

Yes, it is an annoyance, but the truth of the matter is they don't care about a university's branding when they tweet, they care about saying look at me and what I got.

Well it doesn’t help that lsu is now trying to use Louisiana…… like their Louisiana Geaux nation show… no doubt a direct on their part trying to take away our use of Louisiana… also the thumb/index finger L use…. Gotta hare those guys ! Stealing our culture and name!

They are just watering down their already strong brand.

Hey I gave them away out, even showed a classy L they can use. Everything Louisiana, L, or FDL, not UL.

We are UL and Louisiana! No need to change our athletic branding, but find ways to strengthen it rather than water it down. We are the stacked Ragin’ Cajuns. L could get confused with Louisiana or Lafayette, but we are UL proud!

I respectfully disagree. It’s a marathon not a sprint. The confusion will be short lived and even shorter when the scoreboard reads Louisiana.

Personally, the stacked Ragin’ Cajuns logo looks a tad amateur or minor league. I fully believe we need to move to a classic vermilion and white L.
