UNO has a gator. Not a live one but a person in a gator suit. We'd be stepping on in state toes. I don't care about their toes. Just know there will be squawking.

Remember when we were the Bulldogs along with LA Tech? Wasn't a problem. Then, there are the Louisiana State Tigers and the Grambling State Tigers, both the moniker and mascot. We still have the Ragin Cajuns monker, just using a Gator as a mascot. UNO's gator is supposed to be reflective of the Privateers? At least ours is reflective of The Swamp habitat on campus where actual gators reside. Let them squawk. UNO no longer has an athletic presence to be relevant.

I agree. And when we bring back the Fabulous Cajun Chicken... and ULM squawks about him being a studlier version of their chicken... there still won't be a problem.

I didn't create the gator mascot, but love it. Would whoever created it take credit for it and provide a larger version?

There is a larger version if you scroll down on the second link. By the way it was a colaberation between CajunFan64 and myself.

As with most ideas there is often a build upon another idea tendency.

Back in 2006 CajunFan64 suggested Fideaux here (green Bullgator) https://forumeus.com/...or-Mascot-Idea

Then again in 2009 CajunFan 64 re-suggested Fideaux (Red Bullgator) here https://forumeus.com/...ideaux-Vs-Mike

I did the conversion of CajunFan64's 2006 green version to red by flipping the drawing horizontally, and giving it a Red 3D appearance with some Adobe software I have though I think it was owned by Macromedia at the time.

You can see it if you scroll down in the last link. I don't recall if that was the first time I posted the remake or if I was reposting it.

Man, that really does look awesome. Can there really be any debate among anyone that this MUCH better than that stupid pepper???

I suggested we use some crayfish DNA on our live gator so he would be vermilion red 😍
