TURRIBLE! They should’ve copied the greatest Louisiana hockey team logo….Shreveport Mudbugs.

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

At least the Jazz have the excuse of being transplanted.

Same reason they didn't go with Capital City Serial Killers.

Hockey is a preppy white boy sport. Baton Rouge is 53.5% black. This is just a bizarre thing to do

That may be the case today, but you might want to read some history on black hockey teams and the Colored Hockey league.

Zydeco has nothing to do with Baton Rouge. They should have called themselves the Baton Rouge Thunderbolts as Harding Field was a major P-47 training base during WW2.

You're looking at it all wrong...

The red hockey stick is represents the stopped traffic going down to one lane on the westbound approach before getting on the bridge

This is Baby Cakes part 2. Name it something corny/stupid so it's destined to fail from the start. We really can't have anything nice in LA.

I really don’t think they could have chosen a worse mascot. Nondescript, very little to do with Baton Rouge. They would have made more on merch sales if they’d just gone for something funny or outrageous. Who wants a Baton Rouge Zydeco shirt?

Why not just call them the Red Sticks? Hell, the stick in the logo is red! Now, if there were only some sort of association with red sticks and Baton Rouge?

Good god, wtf is wrong with this city. Kingfish had sentimental appeal, a cool logo and a unique name.

Zydeco…in Baton Rouge?

Not easy to have a mascot or represent

This logo



The only positive about it is the “red stick” hockey stick

The bridge in the background? Why?
The cheesey fleur de lis in the 0

It feels like they used AI to name and create this to be honest.

Beyond horrible. Do they not even run this by people to get feedback? What were the other options that didn’t get chosen?
