Mascot Talk Heating Up!

The long snout is a key component of a good mascot.

Just turning the head indicates activity from yards away.

But since mascots are part reality part fanimation there is no reason they can't be Vermilion Red.

Not that I am against your mascot idea. Red won't work because it will fade to pink within just a few years. That was one of the reasons the pepper went away.

Can't we just get two monkeys from the farm in New Iberia?

This site has some monkeys. Cajunmonkey

Louisiana has the live Bull Gators and Gators where they belong, in the heart of campus prime.

Unless they want to build another smaller Swamp at Champions Square.

If we bring back the Cajun Chicken, I wanna see a hype video made for him lol.

I think Gator is the best option, but consider this: that Cajun Chicken costume is probably old and nasty, so why not create a new and improved one and use that as our mascot??

Just a thought

Those foamy flexi outfits get very dirty (especially on the inside) and need to be changed every few years regardless.

It's worth the investment

JMO. I think it looks way too much like the Cajun man from years ago. Also, the design looks like it's from the 1950s. Nice try, though.

i like the first post in this thread precisely because it looked like the one from the 50s. turbines second suggestion is not too bad but i still like the flag and hat gator better

Here is an interesting .pdf of most used mascots and colors across the college landscape and highschool landscape.

Red and white is super popular. Vermilion is a red but unique amongst reds. (ps not on the list)

I got in the Cayenne suit one time and walked around campus. Completely disgusting.

Here's a couple of pictures a friend made up after this last weekend. I like the idea of them having the white shrimp boots (Delcambre reebox)
