Actually we did
Interesting. Thought that was from Cannons sophomore year. Fairly certain we wore the white jerseys every game after 1958 under Charlie Mac. He thought the white was lucky


Regardless, they still screwed the picture up. Missing the shoulder stripes etc etc


Stupid boomers

I'm glad to be an Xer. I can watch the boomers and millennials duke it out.

You're correct, that picture is from 57 at Florida. Dietzel changed to white only in 58.

Boomers were, at the most, 12 to 14 years old in 1959. Couldn't have been one of them. They may have screwed up the country, but they didn't screw up this photo.

We had this convo yesterday.

The Yellow/White combo started in 1957.

The traditional Gold Jersey ended in 1956.

At the turn of the century, LSU’s colors were blue and white.
