It was better back then. Maybe because everyone was in to every game not just the big game of the year

They’re glorious

I’ve never been a fan of the geaux font

As someone said, it was always something destined to look “early 2000s”

I know this is hard for a lot of people on here to grasp, but what’s attractive to old alum and boosters isn’t what’s necessarily attractive to young people and recruits.

Younger generations and recruits like “clean,” modern, “tight” looking things. Old block serifs fonts are not that. That’s why San-serif fonts like the Geaux font are more commonly used in branding and merchandise targeted for younger consumers. Let the branding and marketing people worry about those things.

This. I don't care so much about the font on the endzones but they need to push the new tiger head as the primary logo on TV graphics and such.

I think the Geaux font looks fine, but admit it doesn't look good in the end zones.

Those are hideous. You make fun of the Geaux font but those are dated as hell and just scream something that came out of 60's/70's. Special Ed Bonanza font looking trash

They just need to make the font bigger on the ones we got. Too much dead space on the sides.

Or they could add some of the tiger heads to them.

That marketing company Skip Bertman hired to redo the LSU brand was horrible. They have ruined too many school logos to even count.

These are all acceptable except for the ones with toonces. Removing the body didn't do anything for the retard tiger face. I think Skip gets the blame for that garbage. The geaux font looks a lot like the lettering from '67. And it's a pretty iconic font when it's presented in the current format; wide and without the shadow.
