BostonBlazer Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 That's just wrong coming up with a logo like that. http://www.reverbnation.com/richardyerardihttp://www.ahlfans.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quantum Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 It truly is an ugly logo. This is one Packer fan hoping it isn't the highlight of the season.

TFoA Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 That's ugly. If they wear that as a patch, they deserve to lose for another 10 years.With that being said, as ugly as it is, it's appropriate since it's all Mardi-Gras themed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred T. Jane Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 It has mardi gras colors! I need to vent! Well, you're the one who assumed that a state with at least half of its population that consists of the classic stereotypical rednecks who despise heathen Catholics would go for a Mardi Gras motif to represent the entire state. Mardi Gras for New Orleans= good idea (albeit way overused) Mardi Gras for the entire state= bad idea. [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

Fred T. Jane Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 nobody seems to be bothered that a university in Baton Rogue uses two of those colors. You forgot the smidgly fact that Farmer State U.'s colours don't include the third Mardi Gras colour. Nice try though.Ref: Louisiana's colours. If you could read, I never stated that it should "exchange one stereotype for an even more blatent[sic] one," but rather was a comment on the actual demographics of the state. When all-star teams for the state play, it's usually either Red-White-Blue (yawn), or the state flag's colours, which are blue-gold-white.

Obviously you are the exception and not the rule. Some people will have hissy fits no matter what. What could one do In fact, I got an idea.... Nah, they're probably the people who think our esteemed leader did a great job last August, and continue to support the present banana republics in Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Strangely enough, they also think that tourism should be our largest industry, and centred in a single city that is surrounded by shrinking barriers to the elements sinking further and further below sea level at an alarming rate, not things spread out across the state like manufacturing, banking, high tech, or any of those other ephemeral things that the other 49 states rely on for economic strength. Oh well, those oxygen thieves can continue to parlay the image of Louisiana being full of drunken revellers, and they can continue to try to figure out how the very dysfunctional way things have been done for the previous two centuries won't cover a $2 billion annual budget shortfall...

tulanebc Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Needing to put my 2 cents in here.....can't resist.As a former resident of St. Bernard parish in what could be considered rural Louisiana, albeit within 30 minutes of downtown New Orleans, Mardi Gras is celebrated state-wide....maybe not in Gueydan (pronounced Gay-don for those non-cajun's....it's also my grandmother's place of birth) where paving techniques haven't quite reached the 15th century yet... just goofing....get me some boudin.I am not among the legions of disenchanted ass-kissers of Gov. (my mind is) Blanco and "Sugar Ray" Nagin, so I can only speak for myself. When I tell people where I come from, and the region I once lived in pre-Katrina, not ONCE did they ever bring up drunk idiots that straggle around peeing on the sides of stores or in doorways. They always ask why we elect such moronical leaders to positions of responsibility....it's as if we lived in the movie Office Space, and no one got the memo about Katrina. Yes, Nagin is Lumbergh. Oh, and MAYBE if the other parts of the state weren't so backwards in their thoughts or feelings, we would actually move into the 21st century. Jim Crow died a LONG time ago, schools DO go beyond "book larnin'", and it's getting really old hearing the rest of the state bitch and moan about how it's always about New Orleans. How about you all...wait...y'all do something of note and pick up YOUR end of the slack. If the state is represented by a city that WILL rebuild,and has SOME semblance of technology and modernism, we won't have to be judged like other southern states as a bunch of slack-jawed jokels. I'm PROUD of where I come from, and if Louisiana is better represented by New Orleans as being the face of the state, so be it. You are on the clock, Shreveport.I liked the Super Bowl logo, also.. If you inherit Randy Johnson's facial genes, he owes you $97,000 at the very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoa! Someone related to someone from Gueydan here! *faints* Yeah, we do have Mardi Gras here, but it's just for the wanna-be snots to act important. And yes, we do have paving here, but it was last done in the 15th Century, to set the record straight. PM me.Well, *I'd* love for either Baton Rouge or Lafayette become the face of the state, because New Orleans is sinking (to quote the Tragically Hip), Monroe is too redneck to pretend they're a part of southern Louisiana, Lake Charles has that constant funny smell, Alexandria doesn't know whether to act like they're a part of north or south Louisiana, and Shreveport is Texas, after all. Both Baton Rouge and Lafayette seem to have the vivaciousness of modern times, growing high-tech infrastructure with (nominally) forward thinking local leadership, rich culture in the area, and (most important) locations that make it storm surge-proof. Whether that will happen or not is out of my hands (Heck, I'm booking it from this place ASAP, adding to the brain drain), but it doesn't look good when you-know-who is reelected you-know-where and the new tourism (Department headed by the guy who lost to you-know-who in the runoff for mayor in you-know-where) commercial shows nothing but scenes from New Orleans (Mardi Gras, jazz, French Quarter, Creole food) and a casino scene, telling people to come on back. I'd much rather have the commercial have people like Emerl and John Goodman saying "Screw tourist dollars, we want you and your business to be located here!" That'll help the state more than the smoke and mirrors that is the tourist industry.
