Pitch Two for Albineaux in the Campaign for the Next UL Mascot

[CajunNation]

What about the Browns have you seen there mascot and they have it in the middle of the field.

It’s a evil Elf they have it at the 50 yard line . Brownie

Do they put it on the uniforms or the helmet?

No. This is a perfect example of a Spirit Leader. Same with the U's Ibis.

[CajunNation]

It’s a concept I used Miami as a perfect example. Is Sebastian the Ibis changing the Hurricanes nickname for Miami, or is Tulanes Riptide the Pelican changing the Greenwave nickname?

No. Those are Spirit Leaders. Love them. You won't see them on uniforms or helmets.

Early 90's. I'm sitting in Cajun Field next to some USM guys. We started chatting. Midway through the 1st quarter, guy turns to me and asks, "So, who are y'all? The Cajuns or the Bulldogs?" We still had a bulldog on the sidelines.

Mascots matter. If it is not a physical representation of your nickname, it needs to be a minimal background figure or a fun, spirit leader that no one would confuse with your nickname. (Blood Clot, Cayenne, etc.)

This is the Golden Rule that so many of you here pretend doesn't exist.

Interesting and expected because Bulldog/Ragin Cajuns involved an actual change of core identity.

In the long run it shows that even though the Bulldog was the historically entrenched identity, having a bulldog on the sidelines didn't interfer with Ragin' Cajuns when all was, said, and done.

There is no Rah Rah character that can or will infringe on Ragin' Cajuns.

But there is one that would raise the game day experience and personna.

I must of crossed the line . It does happen hence concept helmet.

No one is advocating changing the helmet

Elevate your event with the unforgettable presence of Sebastian the Ibis, the iconic Miami Hurricanes mascot.

modern "wave" as a primary logo mark. A new pelican mascot was introduced and given the name Riptide by a vote of Tulane students.

Call it spirit leader, mascot, whatever it will not change the nickname or identity of Ragin Cajuns

I'm done. Go ahead and wreck the brand.

We need a mascot and Al the alligator is by far the best concept which has been presented thus far.

We need a mark which identifies us as Louisiana, one that screams Louisiana when you look at it and the incorporation of the FDL with the outline of the State of Louisiana does that best.

Who cares who else may use the outline of the state, including LaTech and LSU. Their use has nothing to do with the marketing and branding which should now be developed for the University of Louisiana. Adopt a mark and make it run along with Ragin Cajuns.

We really need to get off the pot and make all this happen, now, as the new stadium renovations are being built.

What a bang all of this would make.

One trademark that incorporates every design aspect frees up individual usage and the money gates.

Everyone of these logos fits with every other logo. All need to be trademark by the University.

Sorry wasn’t trying to derail the thread.

I’m with Couillon and 9221. Get’er done.

Glad to see so many of y’all creating your own products and designs with Albineaux included! My dream is to get other people to dream about what could be possible at UL!

Something I thought of today was just how more cost efficient, and safer, it will be to have a white mascot suit. Our mascot will be expected to spend many hours out in the sun entertaining fans. If the character is a darker color, it will surely fade over time. I even think Cayenne’s arms started to turn pink towards the end of his tenure. Having a suit that is a color that reflects the sun more than absorbs it will yield longer suit longevity, and aid in the prevention of overheating for the student inside the suit.

Just another added benefit for our guy Al.
