wish we would go back to royal purple and old gold. I do not like lavender and canary yellow.

This website suggests that the change came in 1956:

quote:

Dietzel entered his second season by introducing a new helmet design, putting his stamp on the Bengal program. The helmet was changed to a Green Bay gold that featured a white one-inch center stripe and purple three-quarter-inch flanking stripes, a look that has become synonymous and identified with the LSU football program since its unveiling.
