Some massive untruths in this article.

1) Jennifer Stephens sent me a letter yesterday, not this weekend. I have the email time code to prove that. How could they send something this weekend when I didn’t drop the campaign until Monday afternoon?

2) The letter in question is not a cease and desist because I haven’t infringed on their intellectual property. The letter just states I’m not authorized to use any of their I.P. when I’m working with the mascot company. I was never going to use any of their logo when designing the actual suit. I had a lawyer friend of mine to double to check that.

Look if that is the case its totally up to you, but this goes to show how far they will take it. They dont appreciate the time and effort. Sorry!

Makes me wonder if I need to stop doing logos and proposing it because of this! Idk if that is copyright infringement?

I am just trying to find a better way to promote Louisiana for them not for me. I think i might be done with all that.

From UL VP Jennifer Stephens: To be clear, and as I previously communicated with you on Jan. 24, 2024, the University has not endorsed this concept, nor does it intend to do so. While we appreciate your enthusiasm, this unauthorized concept does not align with the University’s brand, its values or interests. Your continued promotion of this idea on social media and other platforms has the potential to harm our strong national reputation by creating brand confusion.

Further, the University has a responsibility to say that it is not affiliated with, does not endorse and does not control any efforts to fundraise in support of the concept.

You are not the first, nor will you be the last. A former friend and RP member that is now deceased received a similar letter 12 years or so back for making hats. I'm sure others have had similar things happen in relationship to UL.

... And the one in the outside world, where folks are thinking that somebody is trying to replace “Ragin’ Cajuns“as our mascot or our identity or whatever you wanna call it

I can totally see how, someone who hasn't been giving UL the time of day for two decades would wake up to this story and think, Ragin' Cajuns was being replaced.

They obviously havent been following the narrative.

Well she sucks.

Also she is absolutely referring to DEI, when it doesn’t represent “the university”. Regardless of the reasoning and who the concept designer is.

It is very easy to see why we have a a region who ____s on UL and embraces LSU.

The communication on the university’s stance from last year is also a lie! Here’s the exact email from then:

Thank you for sharing your comprehensive mascot proposal.  We recognize the passion and enthusiasm you have for this topic and are grateful for alumni who, like you, continue to engage and support their alma mater.



At this time, we are not pursuing a spirit leader or mascot. When we engage in the spirit leader conversation, public input and feedback will be an important part of those discussions.



Again, thank you for reaching out and for the hard work you’ve put into this proposal. We wish you well in your future endeavors.

Warm regards,


Jennifer


She’s lying to save face! You can not like me! You can not like Albineaux, but I’ve ALWAYS been honest and transparent about this project. Every step of the way!

Mistakes aside, this means little because the schools chosen brand is "Lafayette" not "University of Louisiana"

I haven't seen, anything in the campaign with Lafayette on it.

This would have to come down from the UL System who says there is no "University of Louisiana"

If national brand confusion was an issue they would have abandoned Lafayette name references 24 years ago.

In the last quarter century there have been hundreds of Lafayette Leopards confusion points including Lafayette Leopards apparel at Albertsons on Johnston.

That doesn’t make her a liar, and with all due respect, that response from last year 100% reads as a polite but firm no.

This is like pursuing a girl after she gives you strong hints she’s not interested.

This is not true at all. The school’s copyrighted brand name for athletics is “Louisiana Ragin Cajuns.”

Where are you coming up with this Lafayette thing?
