L Logo Hats

[RedTails]

L should be the primary logo.

Respectively, big time disagree. We are the only Ragin' Cajuns brand in the world. I would not trade that out for a generic L.

[GreatestStory]

What about something like this ! I only put the other one on the right because it allows. 2 logos. I honestly think the one on the left would sell.

I have been seeing your Louisiana outline with the fleur-de-lis imposed on top of it. I really like the concept.

How do you feel about maybe moving the fleur-de-lis to where Lafayette is located instead of Alexandria?

I am down just trying to center the FDL to make it look better.

They use that L hat bc it’s an actual retro hat they wore. Our analog would be the red hat with a plain S which was worn by baseball for a long time.

I don’t think there’s any intrinsic value in the plain L hat without a built in history like theirs has. Also they have a unique color for colleges compared to red. My main thing is just that it’s not identifiable as us in any way. It’d have to be unique in someway, either a unique font or integrated with the state outline or FDL.

Have the regular Ragin Cajun logo on the back the L in the front.

FFS, NOBODY has a historical claim to a letter.

Who is M? Missouri? Miami of OH? Minnesota? Maryland?

Why don't they distinguish themselves? Because they are confident in who they are.

What do we do? We come up with a Power Point explaining exactly who we are and why that will play continuously on little screens placed on the helmets and ball caps. Better still, let's put the little screen inside of an outline of the state with Ragin Cajuns across the top and One and Only at the bottom. Then, we could superimpose Albineaux over all of it.

Everybody happy?

I would wear the ____ outta that hat.

Last night, I saw someone wearing a Nebraska cap. Red with a white "N" and Huskers on the back. I would like to see the red cap with an L and "Cajuns" on the back in the font being used now on our softball and baseball uniforms. That would look awesome.

Using an L would put us in great company as you pointed out:

M - Michigan, Missouri, Maryland
F - Florida
A - Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona
N - Nebraska, Nevada
T - Texas, Tennessee
M - Mississippi, Missouri, Minnesota
G - Georgia
I - Illinois, Indiana
W - Wyoming

God forbid we do something that is proven to work for so many successful universities. We are the only Louisiana university that can claim and "L", regardless of what LSU does or tries to do. They are LSU. No one will substitute an L for LSU.

Lastly, using the "L" is legal. No worries about using UL. Adopt it and put Louisiana in the company of all the P5 schools who successfully use a letter.

[Turbine]

Using the L is legal. 100%

But don't get stuck on simple for simple's sake.

None of the schools that use the single letter have a state in the shape of an their first initial.

Louisiana does.

Use the shape of Louisiana.

It is simple, but it says soo much more.

[HoustonCajun]

I agree about the unique shape of Louisiana. But, LA Tech uses it. Northwestern uses it. Southeastern uses it. It is not going to be unique for UL to use it. Just putting a FDL on it doesn't readily say it is UL. We need to connect Louisiana, Ragin Cajuns and the FDL as being the University of Louisiana to the public. We don't do that. We use a combination of any two of those, but not all 3. Try using an L on the cap and on the back have Cajuns with a FDL above it. But, we need a marketing campaign in doing that, don't just roll it out and no one understands what we have done.
