The colors are obviously purple and yellow. Can we call the saints the "black and green?"

That's as yellow as a NY taxi:

Do you enjoy being a dick or does it just come naturally?

Seriously, why not just call it what it is, purple and yellow?

also, see how the shade of purple on our jersey is WAY off of the purple on the helmets. Not hard to fix that, don't quite get why it's been like that for years.

To 99.9999% of the worlds population, LSU wears yellow. But don't say that around here, where we've learned from google that yellow can be called old gold when you want to sound fancy.

History

quote:

In the first game against Tulane, LSU football players wore purple and gold ribbons on their uniforms. According to legend, purple and gold were chosen because they were Mardi Gras colors, and the green was sold out.


The traditional Mardi gras colors each stand for something.

I already googled some for you, you can do the rest

God awful combination to my eye, but purple and yellow are complimentary colors.

It's known as LSU gold, just like other teams make up names for their uniform colors. And does it matter?

Why do Alabama players were crimson pants?

So you can't tell when they are on their period.
