Ragin Cajuns Equipment on Twitter - helmets for next season

[Turbine]

My brother and his wife opened a very successful fabric store in Sulphur in 1964. The Fleur De Lis was a very prominent feature in their signage and stationary. Just saying.

Out the gate, or 3-years later?

What was the stores name? There may be iconic images online.

Id proudly wear this one.....nice job!!

Ask what did it and you will know what the rest of the world sees.

We are to deep in the muck to see clearly.

They see Pro football Saints regardless of the design tweaks.

You could be right. But, I look at Georgia who copied the Green Bay "G" and it has become iconic for them. The same for Grambling. Regardless of how many FDL symbols are used for businesses across the country, athletically, ONLY the Saints and UL use the FDL as a primary symbol. Both are associated with Louisiana. Puts us in pretty good company. I see LSU, Tulane and UNO use a FDL in some form, but not as a primary, singular athletic symbol. If anything, they will be copying us as our FDL becomes iconic for our brand and accepted nationally.

Where is Cajun fun extolling the virtues of the Tri-fleur?!? I actually think it would be a good way to capitalize on the the fdl and still be somewhat unique.

The tri fleur, to me, is a cheapened version. I realize it's about individual tastes. I just find Turbine's argument flawed.

I'm not in favor of gators which rightfully belong to UF. Frankly the scripted Cajuns also look like Florida. Add the two together makes us look like a cheap copy cat. We should proudly use the Swamp in referring to Cajun Field. I find no Swamp reference to Florida football prior to Spurier reference.

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
