Red dog red sweater? And who is Louisiana Atech?
From afar, I can’t tell where the dog stops and the sweater starts. This is infuriating!
Here is the other one I kinda liked. Someone's wife liked the gentler puppy, so that's what we have.

Do you think the administration would listen to a change ?
Sportdawg, I like your avatar better. I don'y particularly like the blue/gray, though.
So..I'd like to comment on all this "dawg" stuff if I may..certainly not an expert, but do know some history...the "stand up" dog many of you refer to came about in the 60's...never have been able to find out exactly how or who developed that or initiated it, but it was on many products, as well as the "official' Bulldog on the class ring for years(and well liked for the most part). So, Mr Dooley comes along and initiates many things, and his boss was somewhat "afraid" of him in some ways...Dooley rocked the boat, and was not afraid to press on matters he thought important..but how in the world a guy that grew up a Bulldog and from a Bulldog legacy came up with the official one we have now is beyond me...however, it got legs, and we have it today. Truthfully, it has in fact grown on me, and the younger students and young alums are ok with it for the most part. It also is a part of the official ring now, as recommended by SGA, some admins, and others...to try and change would, as many of you know, cost millions(inventory in bookstore, uniforms, gosh, all kinds of things) I would imagine...yes, there were options 10 years ago that were looked at, , but that's what the powers decided at that time, along with the "LATECH logo thing(also a Dooley thing and he said thats what ESPN referred to us as, so there you go), so, new traditions(new traditions in the sense of the last 5-10 years and new leadership) are and have begun revolving around this...could it be changed? Maybe, but not likely, especially since Dr G and powers have SO MUCH ELSE to worry with like budget cuts,continued fund raising, you name it, , so this would not likely be a blip on the radar as a priority....I think we-us-(whatever )"older" folks might be a little resistant to change(), but my basic thoughts are embrace what we have and move on..it will be ok...
On a serious note..below is a pic of LA Tech's original Spirit of '88 Bulldog. For the past 25 years or so (not sure exactly which year it was introduced), every Bulldog player has rubbed it's head before hitting the field before every home game. IMO, someone did a masterful job designing this "Tech" Bulldog way back in the mid 1980's. This Bulldog will be the standard bearer for generations to come. Get used to it. It's YOURS!
