it probably stems from the old days when gold really was a difficult color to produce and the yellow looked better with the purple.
Origins from Mardi Gras colors, which is the "Canary Yellow" hue/shade of "Gold."
Tulane coaches/players bought up all the Green ribbon to adorn their uniforms. (For the first LSU vs Tulane game) Only Purple and Gold (Mardi Gras Canary Yellow) was left for the Tigers to use.
