How so?

It hurts their rock solid brand LSU more than it hurts Louisiana, but L has a couple of efforts going that moves them away from (dilutes) their core branding.

I'm not trying to lure you into a gotcha... just curious to see an example of what you're talking about

Solution to what problem?

We need to change our branding techniques! Great we can put Louisiana in the endzone, on Jersey etc., but if we can not come up with a symbol that represents Louisiana we are destined to never be known as Louisiana, and accepting our fate to being a small commuter college in south Louisiana.

We should of stayed USL if we are not going to do the things that need to be done to own the state.

. . . he has a point . . . Alt first glance, thought you might have been brilliant but your inability to understand this is definitely a question mark . . . we are Louisiana and can’t let others who are not Louisiana appropriate what is ours . . . 9221 must continue with the sound principles of branding he is putting out here until it is adopted by MH . . . those fighting this are just like MH . . .

I have no problem with someone wanting a brand. That's inherently a good thing, and every school embarks on certain levels of marketing. But the entire mindset underlying that post is almost unbelievable.

1) "Owning" the word Louisiana. What are you going to do? Trademark the name of the state?

2) "LOUISIANA rather than UL." Is it truly a problem to identify as a university? Does the letter U detract that much from your identity?

3) "We have LSU on the run. They're making an effort to own what's ours, LOUISIANA." Last I checked, LSU calls themselves...LSU...not Louisiana. And if you think there's a vast difference between "UL" and "Louisiana," then you should also think there's a difference between "LSU" and "Louisiana."

Can't you see something wrong with the notion that if UL wants to have self-confidence in its brand, it needs to effectively own the entire state, to chase out all other universities that might pose a branding threat, to distance themselves from the name of its own mascot, and to even avoid the letter U?

This is what he wears for every football game !



What was on there pants last week

[jaxmc1023]

I see.. I'm apparently in the minority, but I fully support the idea of Walmart LSU fans wearing an L on their foreheads or over their hearts.

LSU's fanbase is statewide. The DO own the state. Nobody, however, is going to refer to them as "Louisiana"..

On the other hand, this is another good example of something we will never do because the admin is afraid someone might write a blog post about how we "undeservingly claimed rights to what isn't ours"

I dont understand this....the name game is over....once ESPN, CBS, FOX, Sunbelt Conference was on board the name game was over. The rest of the Louisiana schools will NEVER EVER call us Louisiana....

we are over thinking this

It’s a start but let’s own the state!! What are we doing if we are not doing what these big time colleges are doing?

The block L is a throwback logo.. they brought it back 5 or 6 years ago for baseball

The idea thay they are suddenly threatened by us in the branding office is laughable

Do you have a picture of their helmets?

There's a reason why they call all of these uniforms "alternates"; it's because they don't ordinarily use the letter L.

You are right, its not "suddenly," there is a reason they have ALWAYS been against us using Louisiana and the whole history of our name changes (even the legal way in the 80s)..they have ALWAYS been threatened....
