More like LSU as a whole is getting something in their stocking for agreeing to the promotion.

No to :beatdeadhorse: :beatdeadhorse: :beatdeadhorse: but here goes. As stated above the uniforms are for the arkansas game only to promote the new nike combat uniforms. The "inspiration" is from a "throwback" uniform ten years prior to the '58 season you mention, taking inspiration from the YA Tittle era. The helmets at that time were gold with a purple stripe and, as posted elsewhere, are similar to what Washington sports today. Here's a pic of the old helmet....

We can't go to legit throwback jersey's because that would make sense. God forbid.

Like it or not it is a "throwback" of sorts. And FWIW, Michigan doesn't have to worry about "throwbacks" their helmets/uniforms have been essentially the same for the past 60 years. Only difference I could find was in the '50's their helmets had numbers on the side like LSU.

Or to put it another way, they have a tradition worth holding on to.
