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

[CouillonCinema]

Took this picture earlier in the week and it reminded me of how cool Albineaux would be (and Juliette approves as well)

That's beautiful! That really warms my heart. Thank you so much for sharing this moment with us! It brings a massive smile to my face to imagine the day Juliette will be able to take a picture with the real Albineaux.

There's a lot of special moments waiting for our fanbase the day we get our guy.

That is awesome. I fear, however, that the UL administration could care less about this or about doing anything to turn UL fan support and game attendance around. We are stuck in a mid-level G5 rut that they are content with. So many great suggestions come from this board and are seemingly ignored. I wish Maggard would consider putting together an Advisory Committee to address all fan related issues.

Great idea.

We’ve got some time. She’ll be in the class of…let’s see…2042. Ohhh boy.

Wish we could get an albino gator for the Swamp if we were to go with this mascot.

everything is an option at a price

Albineaux is natural fit to our brand. In order for us to thrive in today’s college athletics we need to increase our brand potential. That’s it’s imperative we get a spirit leader. It’s not just about the sidelines and in game entertainment, it’s about maximizing avenues for our fanbase to show their pride, and increasing the iconography of our institution’s marketing potential.

awesome

I agree. There needs to be a committee at UL to sort out all of these great ideas to Make Louisiana Great Again and adopt the ones that are the most effective. It can't continue to be business as usual because that model hasn't worked.

I'm liking the images more and more. I'm not crazy about the name, when shortened it's just Al. Not really desirable I think. If it became official, I could go with it.
This could be coincidental, and maybe it's not, considering the recent news on softball, but maybe something like "Ally the albineaux gator", in short "Ally". This sounds better to me. It's way more catchy and kid friendly, they like names that end with a "y". Just throwing that out there. I don't think the real Alyson would mind.

I have this thing with logos and car siloutes and animals icons, that the snout or front bumber should point to the left and not to the right.

If you read Hebrew or Japanese, different story.

How about Louis for LOUISIANA. Or have 2 gators, Louis and Ana that combined really caption our name.

Here’s the reverse of one of the images from yesterday. A fan suggested it and I really like the outcome.

After adoption, I encourage a name changing survey. But right now his name needs to be Albineaux to emphasize he’s not just a white gator. I sometimes call him “Tee Al” in short hand. I think that’s a fun way to fall back to the Cajun language.
