How about a poll? I love the pepper!

_ The helmets do have Lafayette on the back of them, I'm almost positive. Does someone have a picture? Pirogue? ULSUCONNMAN? Anyone else? I'll look through mine tonight. _

You may both be right.

TROY
Sept. 26 at Arkansas State
Oct. 6 Middle Tennessee
Oct. 17 at Florida International

One could look at the Troy schedule and argue that the toughest games are at the end of the schedule with Florida Atlantic and Louisiana, but I think these three games, the first three of the Sun Belt season, will set the tone for the Trojans. All three teams will be better than they were a year ago, especially Middle Tennessee, which now has Tony Franklin, former Troy offensive coordinator, as its offensive coordinator. And I've been saying all offseason that no one in the Sun Belt should sleep on Florida International.

I found this on a blog on ESPN College Football Nation..they are even calling us Louisiana now!!!!!

The helmets that don't have Lafayette on the back is because the rubber protection at the bottom has been removed. As I stated earlier in this thread, all of them have it.

Cajun T you're wrong.

The helmets that have it are the ridell helmets.
The air/schutt helmets didnt have anything removed off of them, it's just the way they are.
It isn't mandatory to have that Lafayette sticker on the back.
Lafayette was never on the cajuns football jersey, sleeve or collar.
Just the Louisiana across the chest and the iterlocking UL on the hip.
Some of the new jerseys for other sports i think will stop using Lafayette anyway being that we have that new contract with russell who did football before.

Let's just change our name to University of Acadiana Ragin Cajuns. I wonder if Acadiana High would allow us to use it?

Just for the sake of discussion, try Acadiana University, like Auburn University. It has a better ring to it than Univerity of Acadiana.

You are correct in the different types of helmets, but its still part of the uniform. The jersey has Louisiana across the front, there is no need for the city tag. Only the use of UL is required to have the city tag located somewhere on the uniform. The new TPX baseball hats do not have Lafayette on it, but pay close attention to the logo on the sleeve beneath the pepper, it has Lafayette. We are not required to have the city tag when using "Louisiana", only UL.

Since the jersey has Louisiana on it, why the need to add Lafayette on the sleeve?

Regarding the requirement to have Lafayette added when using UL, that just goes to my argument of using either "LU" or "L" along with Louisiana and we are in violation of nothing. I prefer the "UL", but am tired of fighting the battle. Is it worth it to make a change now that corrects this or continue to fight the battle in hopes of one day overcoming it, possibly years from now? We are seeing progress, but it is slow in coming and certainly not universal. I am not being argumentative, just trying to find a realistic solution to our identity problem.

Because the use of "UL" on the hat or so the bloody rule goes. If it is not in use on any part of the uniform,ie: hat,jersey or pants, then its not required.
