Yea. We can beat UCLA. Wearing purples for a hot S Alabama team is cruising for a bruising

Who knows what we wear since haven’t been falling the status quo on uniforms. But UCLA is a named/national team so we would typically wear white

Correct. But I hope we wear purple

Don’t want to see that sissy blue
We lost to em in white last time
I like the purple and the break from monotony
Would be a cool uniform matchup aesthetically

I don’t care for the purple too much. I did like the Gold/ White / White vs Army last year a lot.

purple jerseys are for non conference not including home opener or homecoming.

This is wrong. It’s also for non-conference games where LSU is on a national stage.

The white jerseys are the brand.

UCLA is a national team in a power conference and a 230 game on ABC. The jersey “rules” would be white. BK hasn’t followed the rules though.

When did it become a “rule” that we wore white because we are in the national stage? Example?

If LSU wears purple jerseys, I hope they don't wear the white helmets. Need to use them for once a year, if that.

I put “rules” in quotations because it is more tradition more than anything.

And if you would read the whole thread you would see someone already told you the other Power/National teams that we played at home and weren’t the 1st home game (since 2007). All were white jerseys.

Since you didn’t read I it I’ll post it for you:

Again these are the only power conference teams we played that were after the 1st home game. And all were white.

Touché I stand corrected. But can UCLA makes us wear purple. Is it still visiting team choice ala Oregon state. They did it to make us wear them during the day. But it rained 120”
