Albineaux Concept 70% Approval Rating (Year Long Poll)

[CajunVic]

These are just so cool. Put some red eyes and a red and black clothing and it will not be able to be beat. The snout on the alligator lends itself to being costumed. It can be both the meanest looking mascot and also to most gentle.

I love Coullion drawings and depiction now the name is a pass. The only reason why it might be a no go is because Florida gator mascot is called Albert, Alabama mascot is called Al. Now with the name like albineaux people will call him Al for short.

Love everything else but the name might have to change. I haven’t put the time and effort that Coullion has put in this mascot. I don’t want to be to critical.

He has done a terrific job coming up with this mascot and really been leading the charge for over years trying to get it done!!

Remember that criticism of the work, is not criticism of the person. I see a lot of confusion around that now in all aspects of life. His artwork is great. His enthusiasm is impressive and contagious. Some of it needs work (name primarily). None of that is criticism of him.

Call him JAX

First everything Cajun ends in X and regardless of his legal name he is a Jammin Alligator

Here is a video of 2 live Albino Alligators at the Denver Zoo. Louis and Ana?

The gator is associated with UL for over 125 years. It is a natural mascot. The crawfish does not bode well as a mascot and certainly not as a costumed mascot. Plus, people around the country would confuse it with a lobster. Not a good choice, IMO.

We all have different thoughts about the perfect mascot, but we will never get anything done if we continue on the path of resistance. This is something all UL alumni and fans need to embrace.

Also Louisiana Purchase Gardens and Zoo in Monroe had a Albino Alligator exhibit for a couple of months during the winter months. Which they may have borrowed from another zoo. If Monroe has it then I am sure the Audubon Zoo surely has albino alligator exhibit.

Listen to a Gator Growl that can be played over the intercom at games. Pretty cool.

I have a video of a gator growling on Louisiana's campus swamp, but I can't find it because I didn't rename the file.

Unfortunately, there appears to be too many "fans" out there who are bent on the idea that we'd be "copying" that school that called their stadium the "swamp" AFTER WE had nicknamed CAJUN FIELD the same thing.

Its not their fault they don't know the history.

Not only did Florida come up with "The Swamp" long after Louisiana did, but Spurrier got the idea directly from Brian Mitchell's "Sultan of the Swamp" media guide cover.

Our AD sent them the media guide early on during discussions for a game that was played years later.

Yes!! People have to get out of this mindset. We had Cajun Field called The Swamp before Florida ever did it. We used the term Geaux before LSU decided to use it.

How many Tigers, Eagles, Bulldogs, Panthers oh my!! Do not be afraid because out of 130 division I-A one school has a gator mascot. Hell they stole the swamp from us we can steal the gator mascot from them.

We are the campus who actually has a swamp with an actual live gator living on campus in the swamp.

Then on top of that it’s not a green gator it is an albino alligator.

I appreciate the efforts and work on this. However, we need a mascot that will be good enough to represent us for the next 100 years. Is a gator that? I dunno.
