(S28) PT2 - Mascots

[Jay_Doctor]

I don't really view the New Orleans Second Line as having an official mascot, though ironically I did propose that we get one in the last couple of days. If had to pick a mascot, I think Louis from Princess and the Frog would be the perfect choice. Not only is he an amazing representation of the Jazz and the Second Line, he is an equally important representation of New Orleans and the south. If I had any graphical capabilities in my body, I would try to change our team's logo to incorporate him into it. I would also love to see him get represented in the team's uniform as well as on the field. Having an alternative team jersey with more of an alligator pattern on the side of the pants would be pretty jazzy. For the field, maybe get him either in the end zone or have an image of him wrapped around the field goal post. The best part about having Louis as the team's mascot would be the animal and nature awareness. While alligators are by no means endangered, there was a period of time where they were getting hunted and poached. While the alligator might be doing well now, the bayou most certainly is not. The damage of climate change has drastically affected the bayou and Louisiana's protective marshlands might soon be to the point of no return. As a team representing New Orleans, it our duty to use our platform to raise important issues.
