French Game Jerseys Unité, Fierté, Combattre, Croire

[NewsCopy]

Rather than family names, the UL Ragin' Cajuns sported one of four French words -- unité, meaning unity; fierté meaning pride; combattre, meaning fight; and croire, meaning believe -- on the back of their special black jerseys for Saturday night's Sun Belt Conference game against Western Kentucky.

The one UL quarterback Terrance Broadway wore was "croire."

It was hard from the press box with just the fleur on the front.

But, man they were really sharp!!

I never say something like this....but I want one.

I was thinking it must be hard for the radio announcers to call this game. Hell, I didn't even know who was who for parts of the game because I had trouble seeing the numbers at times. But I thought that was the cool part. When a big play was made, it was less about the individuals and more about the TEAM

Loved them as well. The French terms was perfect. I figured they'd fake us out with the pregame jerseys

It was a surprise to the players and coaches (except HUD) until they got back to the locker room

They finally played some Cajun music during the game instead of only rap. I liked it.

I really hope everyone is beginning to see a developing trend of change on how the university is looking at our sports programs. The jerseys were planned well before the season began.....these guys are planning....thinking about how they can help change the culture of Cajun fans.

Hats off to Dr Savoie, Scott Farmer, Ken Winstead, Coach HUD, his staff and all the people of influence behind the scenes that are doing everything they can to give the Cajuns a chance.

I, for one, love it and I am a long for the ride!
