Ragin Cajuns Equipment on Twitter - helmets for next season

[KajunKrazy]

That would be freaking awesome !! Man if we wore those we would get some national on it !!

Yep. And we should change our name to university of acadiana. I'd rather that same concept with the state flag.

Do you think that concept is changing our name? No it does not, all it’s doing is representing a region. The Acadiana Flag look would look better than a Louisiana Flag concept, and it is a representation of Cajun Heritage.

Not everything has to be Louisiana. Just picture that helmet on our current uniforms, man you talking about slick. Wish I could do a mock up.

We pull these out one game of the year! Man be freaking great

Do you think that concept is changing our name? No it does not all it’s doing is representing a region. Plus with the Acadiana Flag look on helmet would look so much better than a Louisiana Flag concept .Plus the Acadiana Flag is representation of Cajun Heritage.

Not everything has to be Louisiana. Just picture that helmet on our current uniforms, man you talking about slick. Wish I could do a mock up.

No it wouldn't change our name. But you answered your own question. It represents a region and we're trying to get away from being a regional or double directional school with the Louisiana branding. Would just be contradicting ourselves with that regional representation.

We are the Ragin Cajuns the Flag is a representation of Acadiana and Cajun Culture. We are in the heartland of Acadiana. It’s like saying the Baseball team should not have the Acadiana flag on the back of the hats, because it’s not Louisiana.

Not everything we do has to be Louisiana. Like saying we shouldn’t raise the Acadiana Flag at football games because it’s not representation of Louisiana. We shouldn’t call Cajun Field The Swamp because it’s not representation of Louisiana. Just South Louisiana and Acadiana is what The Swamp represents.

We might be over thinking the branding a little bit.

Don't look at digital media the univ has been putting out or the new signage around the practice field because it all has the Acadian flag on it.... It's embraing the Culture

🗣️ "The rage of the Cajuns..." will extend a little farther west down I-10...

Yep have no problem with it that size or even a sticker on the back of the helmet, but should not ever be larger that the Louisiana branding.

If you took the 4 helmets in that pic, on the equipment managers twitter and did a survey across the country of college football fans and asked what school is this and what there mascot. Very few would have a clue. If you did the same with the helmet we have been wearing since the name change the results would be overwhelming different.

And that matters why? We have only worn that helmet logo 2-3 games. If it becomes more regular, more people would recognize it .

Tried to stay out of this but, here we go..

If you guys think Maggard just sat down and pulled the branding order out of a hat, you’re mistaken. Some of the best marketing folks in the business were consulted on this.

Ragin Cajuns is THE most unique monicker in all of sports. It is the most closely identifiable nick name, with regards to how it represents a community of people & it’s culture.

Louisiana is the bane of our identity crisis. Yes, we need to push and promote everything with Louisiana going forward, but the is not specific to our culture, nor our people, nor our heritage. There are several Louisiana branded colleges around the state. Over time, this will matter more and more, but it would be short sighted to have this as the spear point of our branding efforts.

The FDL is recognized regionally, nationally and yes, even globally. It is a trademark more than an identifier. Again, it was a no brainer to promote the FDL as a major part of our identity. The FDL can go places “Louisiana” and even “Ragin Cajuns” can’t.

Its a mistake to use a generic fdl instead of the one of a kind design fdl that was part of Kentucky game helmets. Agree with the Ragin Cajun branding, a new design would be an option, but I'm no artist...
