I like the White, Purple, White... but i do think the stripe pattern needs to be matched on the helmet and pants

Yeah, let's just look like TCU.

I'm a uniform nerd and this has been a problem for nearly 20 years, in that LSU has allowed the pants to have additional striping but does not have the jersey or helmet striping match.


GeauxTigerTM: Like you, I'm a uniform nerd. Loved your post. I also am bugged by the pants stripes not matching the helmet. Never understood why that doesn't get fixed.

Two other big beefs I have with the current uniform:

1. Badly mismatched shades of purple between jersey and helmet. Not even close.

Notice it was a perfect match in the Hodson photo, but not anymore.

2. The current shoulder stripes look more like suspenders and are too much on top of the shoulder. Again, the Hodson pick shows the shoulder stripes more on the sleeve. Yes, I realize this is partially caused by the new jersey designs, which basically have no sleeves at all, but still.

Plus, the shoulder stripes seem thicker than in the Hodson photo.

Does anyone in the athletic department pay any attention at all to these details? Serious question.

I would be in favor of white helmets and white pants as the default when wearing purple jerseys, but no our white jerseys at home are iconic.

I hate that we've become like so many other schools and have all these different uniforms
Call me a traditionalist or stubborn, but I love our two primary unis: gold pants and helmets, with either white or purple jerseys.

This is a pretty unique and distinctive look, and is instantly recognizable to just about any fan in the country. That's something we need to cherish and hang onto, not keep changing. Once every couple seasons is more than enough.
