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.

In 1956 LSU wore purple jerseys. Dietzel did not like purple. For the 1957 spring game, Dietzel divided the squad into the blue and gold teams for the Blue and Gold game. You can look it up in the Advocate sports section of May 1957. His unhappiness with purple may of had something to do with the team's won loss record in 1956. In 1959, LSU away games with Florida and Kentucky were played in all yellow uniforms. Same color as the helmet.
