I emailed Herb Vincent asking him if its been decided what jersey color LSU will wear this saturday against App. St. He responded with "not yet". LSU could get stuck wearing purple in the heat.

well I don't know how Buddy would know before Herb Vincent. If Vincent says its not yet decided, then its not yet decided.

app would have to be stupid to wear black


Some on here have noted that this could have been negotiated into the TV deal. If that is the case then Appy St. is not stupid, especially if it meant more $$$.

It is apparently NOT in the contract otherwise Herb Vincent would be aware and wouldn't have said it is not yet decided.

I think what he meant was...it's in the contract for App to decide who wears what...not that it's already determined

At least that's the way I took that comment

It doesn't need to be in the contract, thats already the NCAA rule. By rule, App. St. already has right to decide unless the contract stated otherwise.

Why would you contractually obligate a certain school to wear a particular color?

Are you asking me why I said that? I just said I forgot about that rule. I know that ASU and LSU have a deal going becuase of the money and all that. I didn't know what else was part of the deal...Excuse me for making a mistake...

because LSU likes to wear white at home but must get non conference team's permission to wear white. So its possible LSU would want the contract to stipulate that they are allowed to wear white, especially when its going to be scorching hot. However, as stated above, this must not have been in the contract otherwise Vincent would know what color LSU is wearing.

God forbid we wear any jersey other than the white ones. You people are just ridiculous. And spare me the tradition crap. I'm by no means saying to change the jerseys or pants, but if we wear some other combination every now & then, its not the end of the world.

Does it matter enough where you would bother one of the assistant ADs to see what color uniforms we are wearing.

Just show up in your coaching shorts and muscle shirt and enjoy the game you loser.

because LSU fans get their panties all wadded up when we don't where white, and the athletic department has to deal with hundreds of thousands of email, so it's easier to put it in the contract
