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")?



We did. And Tulane got the green.



But that was like in 1901 or some early year like that. Before the purple and gold I believe LSU was blue and white. Kentucky colors.

Colors and templates changed after the 1956 season


Here you have the old template and old traditional gold in a 1956. See Jim Taylor #42.

Lsu vs Texas from 1957. You can see the template change
