The 2008 hot streak of something like 23 games in a row that turned the program around.

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.


Curious as to why people are downvoting you. Yes, LSU wore gold jerseys in the 1996 Finals, but it didn't immediately become a "tradition" after that. Made evident by the fact they did not wear gold in the 1997 or 2000 finals. It became a Sunday tradition in 2008, which carried over into the 2009 CWS.

I have always liked the Gold Jersey's the best. Theres just something about those Jersey's they just look so clean.
My favorite as well. Some squads uni choices are a baseball abomination.

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


The whites are great! The gold is great as well. The pinstripes are awful and were so popular at a certain time. Every team (including mlb) had a form of pinstripes. All I see is Chicago WS, Cubs, Yankees, and Mets. Nope to the pinstripes!

Pinstripes for me. Remember seeing Todd walker in the dome on those pinstripes. People talk about the Yankees…. They were my Yankees.

i don’t mind them.

but man, i hate how the Pinstripes have been relegated to obscurity.

they’re by far our best looking uniform.

also, interesting note: none of our uniforms say LSU now.

To answer your question, the 2008 23 game win streak is when it caught on. I think we wore gold the entire time and it stuck. It may have been called Championship Gold before then, but that’s when it became a thing.

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 wish we had more variation in our current set. We have 5 jerseys that all say Tigers and 4 of them are exactly the same.

Not sure why I got downvoted into oblivion for that post. The Natural is a hell of a compliment.

Gold is the GOAT.

Ask Warren Morris & Dyan Crews.

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




they're supposed to wear it anytime they're playing for a championship

-the second and/or third game of a series (or Super Regional or CWS Finals) if they've already won once

-the final in Hoover

-the championship game(s) of their regionals or their CWS bracket
