First of all, thanks to you guys for allowing me to post here... I have always enjoyed Tigerdroppings! Now, what is the story behind LSU rarely ever wearing their purple jerseys? As on outsider, I think the purple jerseys are sharp...Always wondered and since you guys are wearing them Saturday, I thought it would be a good time to ask. See ya'll in November.. -Hoyt

The oldtimers would and will consider it blasphemy, but I have always preferred the Purple Jerseys myself. When I was younger (Born in '79) all of my remembrances of LSU Football were of my Dad adjusting the TV to pick up grainy, bad V-Hold images from the pay-per-view Tigervision Channel since we couldn't afford to pay for the games. Whenever we could get a halfway decent picture you could see those sharp purple jerseys.

Again this is just me talking, but I'd love it if we went back to purple jerseys at home...or at least mixed it up a bit. I'd love to have the first Non-Con and the first SEC home games see us in Purple and then whites the rest of the time.
