Ragin Cajuns Equipment on Twitter - helmets for next season

[Million$Mullet]

Gators live in swamps, people associate them together, if there is a swamp they must have gators, and probably the most terrifying thing in a swamp. So I don't see a problem with us using it.

The script Cajuns was used by some back in the 90's. I would call it a style frankly, like numbers, or like just having a color on a helmet. Here are some that have used script in the past and present. Ole Miss, Pittsburgh, Florida, Indiana, Akron, Iowa, Georgia State, UCLA etc. all had script at one time.

If you wanna be honest I be down with a script Louisiana on our football helmets which would look wonderful. Imagine this on our helmet like Indiana. I know the primary is the IU

ulm already used the Louisiana script on the helmets. No thanks.

[CajunEXPRESS]

I'm being as honest as I can. Don't like the script period, don't like the triple fleur, do like the Swamp ours to begin with. Still to tie all swamp and script together frankly looks and sounds like a cheap version of a cheap Florida logo and field nickname.

While I’m not a fan of the tri, it’s part of the Acadiana flag.

One season, used it, but never owned it.

Louisville used the interlocking UL for two decades, and still used in for their band when UL adopted it.

So what? They used it for more than one season on both the gold and maroon helmets. We already have a Cajuns script helmet to go with our Louisiana jerseys. There’s way too much over thinking with this crap. Simple is better. We have an amazing logo for a helmet. We need to use it. Period

Longhorn, tiger paw, fleur de lis three iconic logos needing no alphabets. You’re on target dude.

2003-05 It was their last "Louisiana" hurrah before branding to ULM.

I'm thinking one shouldn't be afraid of a shadow they crossed paths with a dozen years ago.

Ps I'm not endorsing Louisiana script on a helmet (to long,too hard to read) I'm just not buying the someone else used it argument.

Longhorns and Tigers are part of their name brand. A visual makes sense.

"The Louisiana Fleur Des Lis" do not exist.

The Clemson Paw Prints don't exist either. If you saw that helmet and didn't know the associated team, would you be certain it was a Tiger paw print? Even then, you wouldn't necessarily know who the Tigers were.

The FDL is instantly identifiable to Louisiana. If you want the Louisiana brand to stick, the FDL does that. Again, assume someone is totally ignorant to football. If I show them a FDL helmet and say who does that belong to, they're going to say Louisiana. Now they may not mean the Louisiana Ragin Cajuns but that's how you take ownership of the brand identity. People see that helmet when we play on TV, boom instantly think Louisiana.

The rest of the world sees "New Orleans" 50+ years of shape identification marketing has made the FDL shape the Aspirin Brand logo of New Orleans.

Even when the rest of the world happens to identify the various FDL logos with Louisiana, they are thinking; 'That State really loves their Saints..'

We need to post a survey? I am almost willing to do it, but we need to post it on a very high traffic site that takes the Cajun fans out of the occasion.

We could just use an "L" with a FDL inside. A single letter reference seems to work for:
Texas, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Nevada, Wyoming, Washington. Sometimes I think we make things too hard trying to create an identity.
