Legend’s on Bertrand

[facelessjonmoon]

It's up again, ULL

Maybe legends is being petty/ resentful because of this new sponsorship arrangement?

It seems to be intentional at this point

If their goal is to increase revenue, ____ing the people off who are the target of their marketing isn’t the way to go. People on this thread have claimed possible ignorance, but that’s a problem solved with a 2 second email/text to employees that “UL” only goes on signage.

To each his own I guess.

I just couldn’t imagine a scenario where I’d tell a group of friends “I’m not going meet yall at Legends bc the person making $2.15 / hour behind the bar put an extra L behind the Cajuns name” or “I used to support Legends bc they were premier sponsor of UL athletics. But, they put an xtra L once so now I don’t want to support them” and in turn, UL lose even more money in the long run should they cancel they’re sponsorship.

Do you think LSU fans stay away when it says UL?

I think if anything this thread has shown that this is not a “once” thing. I started the thread on Feb 1st and people reported seeing this before then and have seen it numerous times since then, including today. I won’t advocate one way or the other on how folks should spend their money. The simple fact remains that a long running sponsor within earshot of the athletic complex should know better. If the low paid staff working don’t know better, it’s on their boss to inform them. I’m not placing a value judgement on these people as humans. Easily corrected mistakes should be corrected. I would have thought with premium competition opening right across the street this place would want to risk running off as few folks as possible. Guess not. Like you said, “to each their own.”

I absolutely would tell my friends to cant me out or lets go elsewhere

Then the onus is on the business, not any fan base who is needlessly made to feel uncomfortable.

They gain nothing with obstinate marketing.

You forgot, "___ more days til the start of LSU baseball"

You sponsor UL athletics ffs. Why would you put that over
"x many days til the start of UL baseball"?
And the ULL thing... It's not that its once or twice, happening. But when the other L is removed, they go through the effort of replacing it. That's very much intentional. C'mon

Yea, I've said it on here a few times, but once one of their locations refused to put a Cajun away game audio on the speakers in deference to LSU's game. I was done.

Said that to me with a straight face with a big "Proud sponsor of Louisiana athletics" on the wall right on the side of me.

I have to admit: this is the first I read of the LSU posting. Maybe I missed it in the is thread. I do agree with you all that that’s BS.

With that said, and this is pure message board talk here as I have 0 clue of the situation, but what if yard goat offered UL more money than legends for the sponsorship and the university told them they had to match or beat yard goat $ to keep the official sponsor title. Would you be ____ed that we advocate supporting local all the time yet let outside owners come in and kick you to the side after supporting the program for years??
