What is the story behind Championship Gold? Counting this year, we have worn gold in only 3 of the 7 championships.


1991 Grey




1993 Pinstripes




1996 Gold





1997 Purple





2000 White





2009 Gold





2023 Gold

Your pictures answered your question, 1996 The term Championship Gold doesn’t mean the wore gold all the time. It is a color designation like royal purple or blood red

That is the first time I have ever heard it referred to as "Sunflower" Gold.

Anyways, I don't think LSU has a bad jersey at all, but I think I like our purple jerseys and our pinstripes the best though gold is great and iconic.

I think I like the Grey unis the most.

Pinstripes giving me "The Natural" vibes.

I loved the pinstripes but really loved the whites we wore Vs Stanford in 2000. Those were slick

And all white in 2000.

The Gold popularity didn’t happen until we won all those games in a row in 2008 to get us to Omaha. So it because Sunday golds under Paul.

teach them to dive instead of slide?

I saw people commenting that LSU should provide more pants and they couldn't believe we were wearing pants with holes in them...not when the game started

1996

I have always liked the Gold Jersey's the best. Theres just something about those Jersey's they just look so clean. And Jay said last year those are his favorite Jersey's too and it takes everything he has to not wear them more often lol

Maybe a superstition thing? Tre wore a broken batting helmet for awhile because of superstition.
