    I hope I'm wrong on this but I'm afraid UL failed to secure an all encompassing "Ragin Cajuns" trademark.

    Meaning as long as the logo isn't used, or the topic is unrelated to athletics, they can't prevent a rollercoaster or a restaurant (for example) from using the name.

    I hope I am wrong.

    Your not wrong but that isn't real uncommon. However to my knowledge it has been secured for apparel and food items.

    "Louisiana Football, Louisiana, Cajuns, etc is generic and cannot be trademarked. I have a deeply embedded fear that as time passes we should not be surprised if a visiting team like McNeese or La Tech took our field one night with "Louisiana" plastered on their uniforms. The heart of this matter is the rules state we cannot use UL or University of Louisiana in any manner on any matter without adding the designated city location if the university is officially involved.

    Yeah, I had asked a lawyer friend about that some time ago, when I saw a "Ragin Cajun" restaurant in Houston, I beleive. If I remember right, we cannot 'own' all references to that, as it is too generic, but we can (and do) own the rights to it when it pertains to athletics.
    And I definelty don't think we have to worry about another school...even those two losers...wearing "Louisiana" on their jersey, as it is too much our brand now. If they did it would just make crystal clear to the entire world the stupidity these people have over our name.

    Well you do know that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

    Anyone stupid enough to forfeit their branding in envy/spite.....is doing UL a huge favor.

    McNeese has already hit the floor with Ragin' Cajuns emblazoned across their chest.

    After living in Lafayette most of my life I moved to Anchorage. One of my clients here graduated from Wyoming University. The first time I visited his office I saw the Wyoming University flag and asked him what ties he had to McNeese. He said Mc-Who?

    2005 I think a few months after Hurricanes Rita and Katrina.

    They forgot/left their uniforms back in Lake Charles, and UL loaned them their road or practice uniforms for the game.

    It was in Blackham.

    Yes and Don Allen called the game. ... If I recall. But I don't recall the situation that made that possible. (
