The Louisiana Collection features retro-themed line of gear and non-apparel items

The University of Louisiana has dipped into the vaults – and come away with nostalgia. 

UL's new Vintage Louisiana Collection features a retro-themed line of gear and non-apparel items, from t-shirts and caps to pennants and license plates. 

Beginning Monday, Vintage Louisiana gear and merchandise will be sold on campus at The Ragin' Cajuns Store outlets in the Student Union, M.L. "Tigue" Moore Field at Russo Park, and The Heritage at Cajun Village. The Vintage Louisiana Collection will also be available through local and national retailers, and online. Find a list of retailers here.

The collection's launch coincides with the start of Homecoming Week activities and comes as the University celebrates the 125th anniversary of its founding.

The officially licensed Vintage Louisiana Collection was created in response to fan demand; its products feature monikers, logos and images that stretch back decades, including SLI, USL and various incarnations of the storied bulldog mascot.

Vintage Louisiana items will be also sold from a "pop-up shop" inside the main entrance of Russo Park on Homecoming Day, Saturday, Oct. 21, when the Ragin' Cajuns will square off against the Georgia State Panthers. Kickoff is 7 p.m.

The collection was created as part of a partnership with CLC, the University's trademark licensing company.
