Absolutely not. Cajuns script with the star over the J is the best uni’s we have. The cremes were by far the best if those, but the players hate them.

Sorry, dude. Not a fan at all of the “L” logo. Never have been, for looks or “marketing”.

Well if we can consistently use the UL logo, I am for that. My question is that just a throwback, or we will consistently use it in the future? If we are not going to consistently use it, to me needs to be replaced then.
Thats my only thing with this.
We do not have to agree with the design of the jersey, but that UL needs to be used more in my eyes. Here is the jersey with the UL logo.

Really appreciate your efforts on this topic, but for me, the L will be used as Loser and ammunition for all of the UL haters out there.
Tech’s silhouette works because it actually marks Louisiana and their school. The fleur‑de‑lis doesn’t mark any university, it’s the Saints, it’s high schools, it’s everybody. If we try to use just an “L,” rivals flip it into the Loser joke.
That’s the catch‑22: we get undermined because we don’t have a true Louisiana marker, but every attempt to create one gets undermined because we don’t have that foundation.
Until UL has one consistent, Louisiana‑specific identity across the board, we’re always going to be fighting the same branding battles instead of ending them.
That is just my take on all of this. I am fine with UL as long as we use it consistently, and not using it as a throwback, but using it as an actual brand for the university.
This is a unique problem almost no other school in the country deals with. We don’t have a clear, creative Louisiana‑based symbol or logo that actually represents us. Without that one unmistakable Louisiana marker, our identity is always up for debate and that’s why the branding fight never ends.
Give it a break, no one is listening.

Here is a logo that I created. Here are some of hats using that logo! lets compare to our opponents in the baseball regional. I used the USL vintage logo and created a Interlocking UL logo. Thoughts?

Only UL. The lone L looks like Lamar
Well i am with you all the way!!!
The only reason why i came up with alternatives was The LSU Rule!!
Which is probably why we dont use it anymore, even baseball they consjder ir a throwback logo.
THE LAW: Why “UL” or “University of Louisiana” ALONE cannot be used
The restriction comes from Louisiana Revised Statute 49:1101(B)(2)(b).
Here is the one line that blocks any school from calling itself simply “University of Louisiana”:
“No less than two institutions” must request and be approved for a name change before any such name change may be implemented.
What that means:
• A school cannot drop the city name (Lafayette or Monroe).
• A school cannot legally become “University of Louisiana.”
• A school cannot legally brand itself as “UL” in the same way LSU brands itself as “LSU.”
• The law requires two UL System schools to request a name change together before any school can drop the location.
Since only UL Lafayette wanted the name change in the 1990s, the law blocked the use of “University of Louisiana” alone.
So what about “UL”?
Legally:
• “UL” by itself is not an approved institutional name.
• The only legal institutional name is University of Louisiana at Lafayette®.
• The law forces the “at Lafayette” part to remain unless two schools change names together.
Branding-wise:
• UL Lafayette can use “Louisiana” and “Ragin’ Cajuns®” for athletics (NCAA approved).
• But the institutional name must include the location.
Thats why i always tried the L or the state sihoulette and why I think the a University stop using it.
I am with you all the way UL is the best way but what we do when we can not use it.
If we legally cannot use “UL” or “University of Louisiana” by itself, but we can use “Louisiana,” then the university needs a distinctive mark that represents Louisiana the same way other flagship‑style schools use a single iconic letter or symbol.
That’s been my whole point from the beginning.
We need a primary mark — an “L,” a silhouette, or another Louisiana‑specific symbol — that can stand on its own and immediately identify the university. Something that functions the way:
• Texas uses the T
• Arkansas uses the A
• Oklahoma uses the OU
• Florida uses the F
• Georgia uses the G
Right now, UL leans on Ragin’ Cajuns for everything, and that’s not enough. A nickname is not a university identity. It’s not an academic brand. It’s not a statewide symbol. It’s not a flagship marker.
Just like the Gator mascot idea, trying to create something unique, ownable, and unmistakably Louisiana that the university can legally use and build around.
Louisiana needs a mark. Not just a nickname. Not just a fleur‑de‑lis. Not just “Cajuns.” A real, primary identity.
That’s what I been trying to solve this whole time.
Because of state law:
• UL cannot legally brand itself as “UL.”
• UL cannot legally call itself “University of Louisiana.”
• UL can legally use “Louisiana.”
So if “Louisiana” is the only unrestricted identity, then the university needs a visual symbol that represents Louisiana in the same way LSU has the block “LSU.”
Right now, UL has:
• No lettermark
• No monogram
• No state‑level symbol
• No iconic athletic mark
• No academic seal that translates to athletics
• No consistent Louisiana‑first identity
That’s why the brand feels incomplete.
Not pointing it out on at you, i am sure everyone knows but i made it personal mission wherher yall agree or disagree, i like to get feedback whether yall think its worthy as a mark that could be used for Louisiana
