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.
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.
Never will a university administration choose as its mascot a whitened version of a non white animal as its mascot, in this day and age.
