correct. And the purple from the 70s and 80s was a deeper purple. Now, we use two shades, one deep purple on the helmet and a much lighter shade on the jerseys.

Current guidelines:

THIS APPLIES WHERE PMS (Pantone Color Matching System) MATCHES CAN BE DONE AND MAINTAINED.

What if LSU colors were purple gold and green? Like a mixture of all of them. I think that'd look pretty cool and it'd definitely be the best uniforms in college football

I will preface this by saying I was born in Baton Rouge. Purple is a great color and gold is a great color. Combined however they are horrible. I do white with purple logo or white with gold logo.

Several years ago I looked it up and could only find four colleges in all of football that wore purple and gold. LSU, Texas A&M Prairie View and I forgot the other two. If it was so great everyone would be wearing it.

I’ve always thought that it would be cool for the basketball team to wear purple, gold, and green uniforms during Mardi Gras.

Washington Huskies are one, and their color combination (with "true" gold) is fantastic.
