If anyone else has this concern, I can help clear some of this up. I am the creator of Albineaux. I am also Black. I can reassure you, nobody will care that Al is the color white because he is not ethnically white. He is albino…and an alligator. Albinism exist in all kinds of people. Hopefully, Al can be an inspiration to those people who have this genetic attribute considering he’d be the only albino mascot in the world. There’s only one Ragin Cajuns. There’s only one albino mascot. There’s only one Albineaux. It think that’s a beautiful pairing.
I also think Al can be great for recruiting. Being pictured with graphics of an icy white alligator with glowing vermilion eyes is an objectively cool thing. Al has the potential to do so much for the UL brand.
