Yeah the people on their are not the biggest fans of change it seems. They are the most out of touch, and still hold a deep love for Cajun Man. In my weeks (really months) of person to person testing Albineaux reactions, I had to show people who had no connection to UL the Cajun Man mascot. Unanimously, they all thought he was terrifying and terrible. Having a giant humanoid head anything is always a hard sell. Add on, we couldn’t even give him a name. Just…Cajun Man. The most uncreative, uninspiring, and literal interpretation of a Ragin Cajun.
I think the largest institution in the university of Louisiana school system bathed in rich culture, can do better than just some guy in a hat.
What sucks too is they’re completely ignoring Al acknowledgment of their love. His pinstripes are an important part of his design! Half of Albineaux is a Cajun Man reference! But that’s not good enough for some.
