LSU To Wear "Gridiron Gold" Throwback Jersey With White Helmets On Saturday

By Staff ReporterSep 12, 20166:02 pmDiscuss the story43
LSU announced Monday afternoon that they will bear wearing their 'Gridiron Gold' throwback uniforms on Saturday against Mississippi State. Per LSUSports.net:
quote:

The "Gridiron Gold” uniforms feature Old Gold jerseys reminiscent of the color the Tigers wore during the 1940s. The uniforms are also highlighted by white helmets with the players' jersey numbers on either side of the headgear.

Other throwback elements include a vintage block "L” logo on right hip of the pants and the old school "Sailor Mike” logo on the collars of the jerseys.

"We're very excited to wear the old LSU colors and honor the past with this new uniform,” said LSU All-America running back Leonard Fournette. "It's a special moment for us to be able to wear it and represent Louisiana on the field. The uniform is a throwback; it's a classy look."
The last time LSU wore these jerseys was against Florida in 1998.

For me, this alternate combo ranks at the top with the white pro combat used vs Auburn in 2011. Those ghost tiger stripes are hard to beat but this stands tall with it.

Love it. I'd like a white or gray facemask, though. Looks more intimidating IMO. But this is clean AF.

I like the purple face mask. It balances to color scheme of the helmet. A white or gray would make the helmet plain and dull. That's just my opinion tho..

Those uniforms are sexier than Etling's passing in the 2nd quarter of last week's game.

I believe Rondell Mealey tore Notre Dame a new one, while wearing this jersey in 1997.
