Yall reach so damn far. Nothing collegiate or sports about a font style.

Can you list the appropriate "sports fonts?"

Wait...are you suggesting you dont think fonts reflect different things?

Thats literally why there are different fonts and schools spend millions picking one.

Geaux font is a vestigial leftover from the worst logo LSU ever had.

Keep the eye, keep the shade on the field numbers, change the end zones back to late 80s design.

Why didn't you list the appropriate sports fonts then?

I remember when one end zone was LSU in p&g and the opponent's was painted and marked on the other...I liked that


I remember those well and used to look forward to busting out of the dark walkway into the bright lights of the field and see that glorious combination of green grass, bright stadium lights, and purple/gold and the opponents' colors. To a kid it was amazing!
But why give publicity to the opponent when national TV time is so precious to continually present "The Brand" to national audiences and potential recruits. Let them only see purple and gold!

Does anyone have examples of which design they would like, and can you share the before and after of whatever the numbers difference is?

I hope this is posted with some awareness of the level of ridiculousness.

"Geaux Font is characterized by a heavy, extended (wide) sans-serif design featuring strong, squared-off block letters with sharp, angular corners, projecting a bold, athletic, and spirited aesthetic."

Maybe if LSU had chosen an Olde English inspired font you might have a case, but these are block letters..........

Geaux font is awesome
I like Geaux font too, but not for the yard line markers.

Need those to go back to traditional.

agree. Let's stop doing anything that was prevalent with Kelly, including 7 and 18 numbering. Come up with something else. I can't remember a player not getting worse once they received the new number.

Won’t happen with Mark Lee in charge. Agree or not, Mark believes TS is comparable to Wrigley, Fenway, Lambeau in terms of classic looks that stand the test of time. People come to TS expecting the current design and we should refrain from chasing trends.

I’ve seen badass renderings submitted to admin only for them to be declined.

Certainly not criticizing his belief. I can see his point

Although my preference isn't important, I would prefer the NEZ be the same as the SEZ.

The endzones we had with the block letters all the way through '04 were the best. But its false hope to expect LSU to go back to them when they have kept the same endzones since '05.

There should be one throwback game a year and those be the field markings. Could easily do a throwback helmet like they did in 2017 vs Ole Miss.

That would be nice but I just don't see it happening. The field was pretty cool when Army came to Tiger Stadium in '23 but thats really one of the few times where we did something different on the field.

For uniformity, and because I simply like it as I prefer the purple LSU background!
