LSU's colors are old Gold and royal Purple. LSU wore old gold helmets and old gold pants in the fifties. Dietzel did not like purple and changed the uniform in 1957 to the present design and color scheme. The helmet was the color of the Green Bay helmet. The jersey, in the trade, was known as the UCLA stripe. So much for originality. A year later LSU won the national championship and the Tigers have been locked into this uniform since.

He did not like purple? I already gave the reason for the only real change of color. He changed the gold to the Green Bay yellow.

Anyway, that's the answer to all the stupid posts in this thread. It's not that complicated.
