The 337/225/504/985 are all vastly different in their own unique ways. Zydeco does not tie all of them together, not even in the slightest.



I concur. He said tenuous tie. It's not like a team in Kansas is calling themselves Zydeco.

It's a dumb name, but I'm sure folks outside of Louisiana think it makes sense, sadly.

Not naming them the Kingfish was an epic swing and miss. Heads should roll.

Give the players this as their only protective equipment. Authenticity!

It must be some non-Louisiana firm that came up with the name and logo. Only thing that makes sense. Like the Toonces logo.

I’m guessing “Traffic Jams” was already taken?

I don't think many folks associate Baton Rouge with Zydeco. If any musical influence, it would be the blues. That's why BR has a blues festival. Zydeco is more Lafayette, Opelousas, Thibodaux.

The name and logo are awful.

Yeah, Because BR is known for its Cajun/Zydeco culture. Big miss there.

What is BR known for besides thugs and traffic?

I had to search the league. It's about as low as you can get on the pro ladder.

That is a TERRIBLE logo. Who designed that?!?
The same Yankee ad agency that thought that people would hear "Zydeco" and think of Baton Rouge.

They would need to fill it with traffic to make it realistic.

I bought a crew neck sweatshirt off eBay with the Kingfish logo on it. Still remember going to games with my dad

Cool logo.

A bridge best known for shitty traffic they’ve been trying to replace for 30 years.

The name is also lame as frick
