The LSU font needs to be enlarged in our endzones

Mates, watching the Jets game last night, I was struck by how great it looked having their wordmark enlarged to fill up the entire endzones.
It's seaux much more visually appealing that the current (tired) geaux font design that has been unchanged since 2005. WAY too much blank space. By simply enlarging the font it would look much better.
And if enlarging the geaux font isn't an option, we should put the helmet tiger head in the corners of the endzones to eat up some of the space.

Early 2000s had the best endzones

Explain how you can enlarge the geaux font LSU while keeping the aspect ratio the same? It can't go much bigger unless you change the font to something else.

Easily the GEAUXT field design in the history of the sport, even if our own bbap didn't like it

If they spaced the letters more it would work. Or put the tiger logos in the corners

Shrinkflation is a thing

The block letters get a lot of love here. Why?

Iconic. Lsu is art deco. I get why we "have to" use the geaux font bc its a billion dollar brand...I'm not even arguing for the block letters here bc it would never happen. But better utilizing the space could and should happen

that font style is never coming back

Because people are nostalgic for the past.

I was at LSU for both the block letters and the change to geaux font. I'm not in love with either.
Why not do a geaux font "TIGERS" in one of the endzones? That would stretch further across.

Agree that would do the trick in one endzone at least. Alabama's endzones are perfect

I was thinking I might agree with you until you typed
Geez, just stop.

I think the geaux font is so generic and sterile. I’ve never been a huge fan, and as a defacto primary logo it looks weak on hats.
but the OP is right.
it could easily fill the endzone

When Dinardo was here we did, however, have "TIGERS" written across the endzone in block letters

I get that nostalgia is a real thing but that letter style would have been horrifically dated by approximately 1972
