Anyone know the exact yellow color (or closest to) of the footbal helmet?
I know you can get the official colors at Home Depot, but I was looking for it in a spray can.

I call it "canary yellow". But others might argue.

I was kind of shocked when I read it, but I read that we use the same exact helmet shell/color as the Green Bay Packers.

Jim Smith was the equipment manager in the late '60's amd '70's and he told me we used School Bus Yellow and Northwestern Purple

Official school colors are Royal Purple and Old Gold. The Gold color of LSU athletic teams is Canary Yellow. All shades of actual Gold have some degree of metallic in them. (Saints, 49ers, Georgia Tech, UCLA,) Canary Yellow= LSU/Iowa/Packers/Steelers.
Speaking of the Packers, can someone please send a photo of their pants to Greg Stringfellow. Our pants (LSU) are supposed to look like theirs.(Packers) In other words, the stripes on the pants are supposed to match the stripes on the helmets. I can't stand the current purple, white and yellow stripe that's on the pants. It's supposed to be a purple stripe with a band of white inside. That's traditional and it looks a lot better. That little band of yellow in there throws the whole thing off visually.....

I made a LSU helmet out of an old white helmet. The color I used was camel yellow from a hobby shop.
