Our colors use to be blue and white. It changed one year when we played in the sugar bowl and all the fans went buy mardi gras shite to wear and that is why we are now purple & gold. Not sure if its in there, but that's a fact.


Almost right. When we played our first game in 1893, Charlie Coates thought our gray uniforms might look lame compared to Tulane's. So he went out to buy ribbon. The store had purple and gold for Mardi Gras but they hadn't received green yet.
