I know my college years were three puffs and a cloud of smoke, but I have mentioned jokingly on here once or twice about green jerseys. Do anyone else remember us wearing a green jersey on occasions? When? Why? If so, do you have pics? Either I am going nuts, but I swear I remember this...I could be wrong. I searched the internet and found nothing.

Honestly, I try to be a student of LSU football history, and I have never even heard of such a thing.

Maybe I have something to learn?

EDIT: I assume you meant during a game. As others have now pointed out, players do wear green no-contact jerseys in practice and at scrimmages.

Injured players and QB's wear green jerseys. Are you sure you didn't get hammered and watch an LSU game instead?

The only nonstandard jersey color I remember was the gold jersey for the Indy Bowl vs Notre Dame.

Then there were the infamous purple pants..

When we came up with our colors they picked purple, gold and green because of mardi gras. They went to the ribbon shop and they were out of green ribbon. Thabk god.

Vandy wouldn't let us wear white in 96. Did we wear gold then?

The baseball team wore green hats for St. Paddy's Day. The football team has green practice jerseys for certain player positions.

Can't remember the year, but yea it was a game against Vandy where they wouldn't let us wear our white jerseys. We rolled out in gold instead.

Thanks for the clarity, I still remember losing a game with Green Jersey's on...However, I know that there are some true historians on here, and I will have to come to the realization that it maybe was the other green effecting my thought process.

I know it was home...probably sometime in the late 80's early 90's... (again, I can be wrong). I tried calling the sports information line, but got a voicemail.
