WHAT STYLE HELMET SHOULD UL USE???

[Kal]

I recall not too many weeks ago that an AP article listed our unis as one of his top 5 favorites in all of college football. I like the jerseys that the cajuns wear and like the article said, "having Ragin' Cajuns on the side of your helmet says it all."

Oh, and what tradition was this? Having Jake Delhomme play for our university and beating A&M? That's no tradition, our tradition is building right now.

But I guess you're right, let's ditch everything unique about our uniforms(which are ranked as some of the best by the way) such as our number designs or modern outlines/piping and wear what everyone else wears on gameday. When we have the following and tradition of an Alabama or an Ohio St, then we can be as "classy" as we want. I guess you'll be turning in your grave when our tradition is entrenched w/ uniforms containing black outlines, triangular stripes, and "fruity" numbers.

How old are you?

I'm just trying to get a read on why you so wrongly believe we have never had tradition.

I have posted some of our history. You ignore it.

I have posted other schools that have seen the folly of "flashy" new unis and have returned to their traditional unis. You ignore it.

Our "fruity" numbers have been altered several times and BOP still has trouble reading them from the booth.

It's been my experience that uniform alterations are done to cast your attention away from the actual play on the field.

Now that we're winning, I see no reason to return to uniforms that are worthy of THE UNIVERSITY OF LOUISIANA.

Okay, fine, let's play the Q&A game.

I haven't ignored it b/c there is no true history in comparison to some of the other schools you have previously mentioned in this whole uniform discussion.

I also didn't ignore the TWO examples you have given. I'm sure you'll notice that both BYU and SMU went back to they're more traditional looks once their programs started to decline. This was sort of an attempt to have a "renaissance",if you will, of their storied football traditions. I would also expect that you'd realize that even the almighty Ohio St., one of the most "classy" teams left in the NCAA even made changes to their storied uniforms this season. But I'm sure you missed that one.

Well, our "fruity" are very distinct and unique. They give us a sense of originality and as for BoP, that's why the booth also has binoculars and spotters.

We changed our uni's to begin the mark of a new era. To put and end to the disgrace that was our football program during the later years of the 90's. So maybe our uni change was to detract from our performace back then(I'm actually agreeing you may have a valid point) but what also needs to be recognized is the resurgence and upside of the program since this change. Our new uni's reflect our attitude. We've got new kinds of players, a new offense, and a whole new atmosphere and I think our uniforms reflect this perfectly.

PS, how could our old uniforms be worthy of the U. of Louisiana when we were USL back then? Technically, we aren't even U. of Louisiana, but when that day does come, these uniforms will represent the changing university perfectly. I mean, all the colors of the official Ragin Cajuns logo are represented in our uniforms and that's the way it should be.

Have a good day; it's been a pleasure.

I would like to see the endzones painted red with white dimonds in the middle. This is what the endzones looked like in 96 and maybe 97. They could even bring back the red & white checkered ones too.

I definitely agree that our endzones need more color. I mean, would it be that hard to paint the entire endzone red and scroll Louisiana in white all across? I think not.

Also, what's up w/ the yellow endzone line? Or did that get corrected for the EMU game? (I was out of town.)

Yes. Exactamundo. I'm not sure how much it costs for enough red paint to color in the endzones but I having been saying that ever since I got to UL. I'm sure someone would be more than happy to donate it.

That explains it.

Thank you.
