And in the Burrow highlight film, our purple looks super blue at times. I know this has been pointed out before.

Mid 50s maybe?

I didn't know that we did. I thought the story was we got our colors from leftover Mardi Gras decorations (which also uses "yellow gold")?

I read that the classic late 50's teams were the darker gold.
Probably sometime in the mid/late 60's or so, I imagine the lighter color translated better to B&W tv, etc.
I don't know anything as fact, just guessing

I think Paul Dietzel did it in 1957. If wrong then I am sure someone will correct me.
I wish we would go back to royal purple and old gold. I do not like lavender and canary yellow.

I have a Billy Cannon doll from 1959 that has the yellow gold on it, so it must pre date that.

Helmet before 1957 looked something like this.

Late 60’s was still old gold

They are hands down the best looking uniforms in college football. Yellow and blue (or whatever colors you want to call them) are just two colors that work well with each other and look awesome, especially strong on the TV screen

I’ve been saying it’s yellow for years only to get mocked and ridiculed. Still say purple and gold, but it’s yellow. Saints are gold
