Exactly. One of the most iconic and recognizable uniforms in all of college football for decades but the youngsters want to do away with that. It’s part of the LSU brand.

Yall dont get sick of wearing the exact same uniform every game? Kiffin talks about creating new boxes and I say we do that with the purple uniforms. THEY ARE TRADITION. Not talking about alternates. Oh we play bad in them? frick that. Lets have GREAT TEAMS play GREAT in purple jerseys to end all of this non sense. I am not saying every home game. Just mix them in some.

I’d really like us to go back to the number font we had before the newer , slimmer numbers . If I’m correct, the angles on the corners are 58° in memory of the 1958 national championship team. Now that may have been something I read on here and is bullshite. However, the numbers are slimmer. Just compared to today’s jersey to the jerseys worn in 2007. Numbers are much different and better looking in 2007 in my opinion

LSU purple is still royal purple, RGB score of 70/29/124; it's a dark purple with blue 80% stronger than red, similar to violet.

I know I’m in the minority, but I love the purple jerseys. Veering back into my lane now.

You have no idea what you are talking about and don't know what LSU tradition is. Are you 8?
LSU alum yes I’m aware of tradition. My post was tongue in cheek responding to the poster saying we are like bama, usc, texas. We’re not, we’re different. If we were traditional like them we’d wear dark jerseys home, white away, and never tinker with our template/combos.

Look I’m all for keeping the tradition of GWG 90% of the time, but even if we did start wearing GPG for all home games, you think people wouldn’t still recognize the LSU brand? It was done this way for over a decade. It’s always been a recognizable combo throughout the schools history, regardless of how little we wear it now.
This sentiment that’d we’d be breaking this long, sacred tradition is weird. We fricked up tradition when we introduced white and metallic purple helmets. People acting like we’re penn st or usc need to touch grass.

Losing lots of home games unfortunately became a tradition, too the years we wore nothing at home but G-P-G. That's a tradition I would prefer not to revive.

Why don’t you ever answer when I respond to your stupid bitching about the non-matching stripes in the alternates?

The traditional gold white gold uniform stripes don’t match either

I wish we could wear GPG again. I miss the 80’s and that’s what I grew up with.

But I also think we need to stay traditional.

But never the Kelly White helmets. Never.

That was the infamous "Earthquake Game"!!

Eddie Fuller TD in the back of the end zone to beat Auburn!!!

I believe that was 1988 season. Mike Archer was our coach.

Thats was a different time then. LSU winning at home now has nothing to do with what jerseys they wear. Please.
