Ragin Cajuns Equipment on Twitter - helmets for next season

[CajunEXPRESS]

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.

Not just any L, a ragin L

Figure I throw this out there but getting the FDL and a nice L to mesh well is not easy to do. I think we would have to go with just a L, LA, or FDL. I don't see how we could mesh any of these 2 together.
