What Should be Louisiana's New Mascot?

[Swamp]

In the 1960's the school didn't commission Ragin' Cajuns either, it was organic.

They had the good sense to get on board though.

Steam is gaining.

. . . get that gator going . . .

Albineaux loved the all white look tonight!

I like it

Can we have Dr. Maggard publicly address the lost mascot? If our team needs an identity, so do our fans. Our town. Our Team. Our Mascot!

Remove the Nike logo and add the Adidas logo.

The Gator would be cool. That way we could name the O-Line; BULL Gators

. . . wallets, purses, money clips, women’s skirts (short ones), Birkenstocks . . . everybody could show up with their black alligator stuff . . .

We can do a lot of neat things with Gators!

Here are few things for starters:

1. Have a Costume Gator to interact with fans and that kids can relate to. There are several to choose from that have been displayed on this website.
2. Have 2 costumed Gators, Louis and Ana to further solidify our Louisiana name.
3. Develop a cheer the stadium can yell involving Gator and Cajuns.
4. Fans can do the Gator Chomp.
5. Gator Growl. Gators have a distinctive sound. Can play that throughout the game.
6. We could even capture a live gator from the on-campus Swamp, cage it and parade it around the stadium, then return it following the game.

At Louisiana the fandom/mascot/spirit leader relationship is unique.

Louisiana Ragin Cajuns "own" gators, they themselves are not gators.

Never forget .

Gator is a no-brainer. Find an albino white alligator to relocate to the campus swamp to go along with Albineaux the game mascot!

Umm, we are the Cajuns from Louisiana. Are you suggesting we change our identity to Gators from Louisiana?
