Does anyone know why they dont change the L S U on our helmets to the new LSU font? I wonder how it would look along with the new Tiger face?

Whats the new font?? I been wanting LSU to do a makeover on their uni's. Keep that traditional white jersey, gold helemet and pants look. But they should have more fun comin up with other uni looks. These are 18 to 21 yearolds. And just about every college is doing this now nowadays!

I drew up some designs in the past. Even a helmet with a more ferocious looking Mike. I think they should go back to the old gold instead of that yellow look now.

Are you talking about the Geaux font? It would look stupid. Don't put any thoughts in Alleva's head. You know he reads this board...

Actually, it is a typeface

Font is typeface plus size

because the helmets looks great, and we shouldn't be giving them reasons to frick them up

I am very over the Geaux font. Nothing interesting about it at all.

I actually just made this one. I essentially just recolored the recent Navy/Army game helmet and slapped on the old LSU logo, but I think it turned out pretty nice.

They went old school by making the shoulder stripes wrap around the the shoulder and this website almost crashed. Tiger fans wouldn't be able to handle a font change.

Do you really trust the people that not only came up with Toonce, but also force fed it to us. To come up with a change to our uni's? Umm no

The letters on our iconic helmet are untouchable.

Deal with it.

NO!! We have one of the most recognizable uniforms in CFB.. It looks great and stands the test of time! No need to reinvent the wheel when it is perfect as is!!!

I love our uniforms, but we can freshen it up a bit and still keep the tradition. To those who say we can't change the uniforms, I say why not? Surely you realize that, back in the 50s and 60s, LSU only had numbers on the side of our helmets. We went to the "LSU" and "helmet Mike" in the early 70s. No reason we can't tweak our helmet design again.

Helmet: change the "electrical tape" font to the new geaux font. Change the Tiger Mike head (which is currently unrecognizable) to something more updated.

Jerseys: The shoulder stripes look ridiculous. Back in the old days when jerseys had sleeves, our shoulder stripes looks great, but now they look like suspenders. Change to a USC type of shoulder stripe. Also, the shade of purple on our jerseys doesn't come close to the darker purple on our helmet.

I just don't get it. We probably spend a fortune on our uniforms - why not make them perfect.
