UL Logo

[ulforlife]

Ok so I was watching the Orange Bowl a little yesterday and happened to notice that Louisville's band hats displayed almost the EXACT same logo that we use. This is NOT cool; who used it first and what can be done? We cannot be going around with the same logo, that just looks terrible. Something needs to be done about this seriously.

At the NCAA tourney game in Nashville, they all called themselves U of L and actually chanted that. That is the only time i have ever seen L'ville use that sort of logo and/or title themselves, networks like to use it though, and i have seen that many times.

I can assure you that their band's hats are the only gear that use that interlocking UL. All of Louisville's sports team uniforms use the calligraphic L or the cardinal's head logo. I was a little shocked when I first saw those hats, too, but I'm not concerned.

So, what about MSU, ISU, ASU, and others , they don't seem to get upset that others have the same initials. We need to forget about this name thing and go on and raise some monies for our athletic programs.

Ok, here is my two sense that I promised. It isn't much, it isn't fancy, but it is simple, and somewhat sophisticated looking, kinda like what the old football uniforms were. In some ways i gues it kinda looks high schoolish, and we might have an issue with using the second L. Maybe we can get around that by saying that its a big "louisiana L" in black and the Lafayette L is in red. what do you think?

I like the subliminal double meaning of your outlined L. Legally the L can stand for the city but no one in the world would see the connection on their own.

Our L is placed higher than the Louisville L so it's not a rip-off.

I guess you could similarly say that they ripped off the Arizona Cardinals' helmet logo and showed the bird's teeth to make it different.

We've been using the UL logo for seven years and to my knowledge Louisville hasn't said anything about it. So, no need to manufacture a problem.

You are right. Louisville logo is first UL logo is second.

We could lock up the interlocking UL as OUR logo nationwide by doing one simple thing.

Put it on the freakin' helmets!!!

Every time I bring this up to somebody in the know they _____ and moan in a real whiny voice how they are afraid people will think the L stands for Lafayette.

Huh.

Like we aren't referred to as Lafayatte all of the time.

What gets me is that the interlocking UL is prefectly fine for the baseball caps. But, heaven forbid we put it on the football helmets, 'cause people might be confused....


I can't help people who don't want to help themselves.

* Best retread logo on the planet.

This logo makes Louisville band wish they were "Pride of Louisiana" members.

Early on it was so confusing Lafayette was included to avoid Louisville confusion.

glad we cleaned it up and got past that.
