re: Can we discuss LSU-NO's colors being purple and gold?

I support the UNO basketball program and go to their games when I can, because why not. However, I will never wear purple at gold at the Lakefront. Those colors are reserved for Baton Rouge only. I will miss the blue and silver and UNO branding and especially their basketball cheer after every made free throw: YOU-KNOW

Yeah, should've let them keep the entire name and color scheme

It's one of the rules of being in the LSU system. How dare you question this?

They should still be blue and silver like before.

LSU Shreveport, LSU Alexandria, and LSU Eunice all have the same colors, purple and gold, as well. They are are all part of the LSU system. Why shouldn’t they have purple and gold?
Because they’re different schools. It’s no different than Cal and UCLA.

I think they are forced to.
I have some UNO friends who were upset about this at the beginning. They thought their identity was being taken away.
Now they are seeing big improvements and are more excited about it.

Cal and UCLA use variations of the same colors ad even have the same fight song.
When I was at LSU, the branch in NO was called LSUNO. We are getting back to roots here.

Blue and silver, not white.
All LSU satellite schools are purple and gold.
It sucks.

I went for the court unveiling. Such a waste of money that UNO doesn't have.

McNeese’s colors were purple and gold from when they were part of the LSU system. I remember going to games when I was a kid. It wasn’t the same shade as LSU, it was a darker purple and gold. Looked really great. When Jack Doland became head coach around 1970, he wanted McNeese to have its own identity, thus the switch to blue and the brighter gold.

Exactly, restoring order. Go LSU.

It’s LSUNO as of this year. Also, and this could be a bs story, but I’d always heard LSU and the University of Louisiana (now Tulane) were both picking school colors around the time of Mardi Gras. LSU got purple and Gold, UL went with green and white.

Do any of these schools other than THE LSU Tigers have a football team?
Posted on 11/5/26 at 7:43 am to Chicken
What a silly policy. UAB doesn't wear crimson and white. UT-Chattanooga doesn't wear orange and white.
Silly.
Silly.

This is what I thought. Was LSUNO since way back. I thought it was still part of the LSU system, but they were just going by UNO all these years. I guess there was a structural change back to LSUNO.

LSUNO became just UNO in 1975. They wore silver and blue even before then. The name and "branding" (I hate that word) were changed, then.
After Hurricane Katrina the university decided to end it's time in the LSU system and moved to the UL system, the colors and such remained. However, the university's enrollment continued to decline as did its funding.
They moved back into affiliation as an LSU school this year. That's fine and probably better for the university, it has always been a VERY good academic institution. LSU could have compromised and left UNO and the colors in place.

I agree. As a former Privateer myself, I was shocked to see the unis. The old school blue/gray/white were nice
