Albineaux: Name Image Likeness

[AirBill]

Kids love Bucky Badger up here. I think Louis or Albineaux could be equally successful.

Louis Albineaux only if he stays white, one of our team colors. If we make him red, he can be Louis Rougeaux! But, some won't like that at all...HA HA!

I am not sure if you all or Cory realize the reality of today's unconformtable world, so I will say it:

Some people will only see "race" if the Gator will be white.
Some people will only think we are making fun of people with "albinism" by calling the mascot "Albineaux"

I know it sounds crazy, but it is the country we live in of everyone getting feelings hurt nowadays. Yea its crazy because a black man actually created this mascot with no intentions of any of the above, but out of his love for UL. He is super talented.
Just stating the reality of the sitituation. 20 years ago we didn't have to deal with things like this, but now we do.

So keep the Gator, make him red or green and change the name.

This is the reason Martin Hall will most likely never give Albineaux their blessing.

Folks, this Alligator is white. Where in all of creation is a white alligator related to Louisiana. We have black Alligators in our one of a kind SWAMP in the MIDDLE of our CAMPUS.

Name him NIL for all I care.

This seems like an easy solution that I can support. Make the gator mascot green with a red outfit and change the name. We can have a fan created mascot with the university's support. Let’s make it happen!

The Albino Alligator university research history such as the ones in Florida were originally sent from Louisiana after finding them in the wild here.

They only have a slight green hue due to the algea stain.

Brought this up when Al first showed up on' RP. Its a pretty good guess that most of athletes at UL are black...A white gator is not going to go over well...Better to come up with another name and a new color to go with red, cause with this generation and the wokeness on campus, you're just asking for a fail.

[RaginRoar]

This is the dumbest idea for a number of reasons. First off, "albino", a genetic condition. Second, Florida has the Gator and we are Louisiana - why would we copy another state and their mascot? Third, the Ragin' Cajuns is a diverse community and this idea does not conform with who we are.

I understand gators have a slight dark green hue. Everyone can immediately relate to a green gator with little confusion of what it is. My High School’s mascot was a gator and our colors were black and gold.

Looks like albinophobia is real because albino knows no race.
