Cayenne (mascot)

Cayenne (mascot)

Cayenne is the official mascot of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns athletic teams. He is a Cayenne pepper.

Cayenne is the fourth mascot, following a couple of live bulldogs (when the athletic teams were named the Bulldogs), Mr. Ragin' Cajun (animated), and the Fabulous Cajun Chicken (the most popular mascot in the history of the school). Cayenne was created using an "out of the box" method. Instead of being a physical representation of Ragin' Cajuns, like most mascots are, Cayenne is the embodiment of the Ragin' Cajun spirit of Acadiana. Cayenne was introduced in 2000, and changes clothes depending on what sporting event he's at, e.g., he wears a Ragin' Cajun football uniform at the football games, and a UL Lafayette basketball jersey for the basketball games.
