The current numbers are sort of a happy medium between the squished 2012-2013 style and the old block. They were too narrow at first but at least they've widened them out a bit.

quote:

The uniform changes started with the 2012 Chick-fil-A Bowl against Clemson. That’s when LSU debuted jersey numbers that are angled on the corners at 58 degrees. The so-called “58 font” is in honor of LSU’s 1958 national champs. The chest numbers on those bowl jerseys were found to be too small and were later enlarged.

Current numbers are taller & more narrow.
They need to go back to the better font.
And go back to block letters lsu in the endzone.
And for the love of God, fix the damn stripes!
That's my list...
Lol

I have absolutely no idea how some of y’all even notice that sort of thing. I’ve never watched the Tigers running out of the tunnel and thinking about the font on their damn jerseys.

Are you also an interior decorator? A hair dresser? That would explain a few things.

It was a gigantic difference in the Peach Bowl and it was the first thing I noticed. I never noticed the slight differnce in the other 2. IMO, the half stripe looks infinitely better than the full stipe.

I agree. The larger FULL BLOCK numerals look much better, but you're "Urinating in the Wind" by complaining on here.

Send an email to Head Equipment Manager Greg Stringfellow. (gstring@lsu.edu)

Those god awful Purple Panti-Hose/Leggings have to go to as well. They look like something Circus Clowns wear. The Head Coach shouldn't allow it. It's just another sign of poor organization that doesn't foster team unity when the HC allows players to wear whatever they want. White shoes with white socks is all we need. (Don't see any Bama players running around with bright red leggings. )

Can we all agree to fix the offense before anything else?

I hate traditionalists. The current uniform looks much better than anything LSU has worn in the past.

That’s your opinion, which would appear is the vast minority by looking at upvotes/downvotes (4/1).

Also liked the britches from the ?? -03’ era better they were a bit shiny and were a traditional gold - new ones are more of a matte yellow

Also put “Tigers” back on the front of the helmet above the facemask.

Why is Bama the only SEC team that got to keep the old number font?
and the Bama obsession continues...

I loved the font on the WWI memorial uniforms LSU wore vs. Mississippi State in 2018
