The reason why I ask the question is because the home uniform is the purple jersey, but I seem to remember reading somewhere that the school petitioned the SEC to sometime wear the white jersey in TS.

Where did you read/hear this? I'm really asking.

OK, my bad. Geez, you guys are tough. I am not a troll, I have been a Tiger fan since the Jimmy Taylor days. Seriously, me (LSU '69) and my father (LSU '40) use to listen to the Tigers on the radio back in the 50's.

I know they always wear white. I got the purple jersey thing mixed up with the OOC games. And, I did read on the LSU site, but of course I can find it, that the school petitioned the SEC, or NCAA, or somebody, to wear the white unis at these OOC games.

I'm 65 years old. I guess my reading comprehension ain't what it use to be. LOL

It is actually true. Home jerseys, at least in the SEC, are the teams dark jersies. LSU actually did petition to the league to be allowed to wear white. They are allowed to as long as the visiting team agrees. That is almost 100 percent of the time but I remember a game or 2 in the nineties where I believe Ole Miss and maybe FL made us wear purple. I am almost 100 percent sure this is the case. And I have been a LSU fan or 50 years
