Just like the 88 auburn game ....this year vs Alabama or uga... such a classic badass uniform that is sorely underutilized.


FTR not this newly decised crap over past 5-6 years.
Old school LSU purple and gold.

Please No. Our traditional white uniforms are one of, if not the best looking uniforms in all of sports. The only reason we were wearing purple against Auburn in 1988 is because the NCAA made us wear purple. Every LSU fan could not wait to return to the traditional white. Thank you Gerry D for bringing back the magic (and the white shirts).

I’d like to see the old billy cannon gold helmets with the numbers on them.

Bring that back for a game or two

White jerseys in football are meant for road games. The purple jerseys are GOAT.

Those purple jerseys with gold pants and hats like we used to wear often in late 80s are awesome.


Anyone who disagrees is probably a new blood LSU fan under 25 or so.
Same group that believes we should wear black.

They are awesome, someone post a pic.

Can we get the defense to throw the Chinese bandit mask on after a turnover?

I remember the when our fan base, long before The Rant, was adamantly against the purple jerseys! The belief was the purple jerseys were bad luck and the team either lost or played poorly when wearing them.

Let's bust out purple for Bama. The whites haven't done shite for our performance against them lately.

Recall the origin of the whites at home. After 9-1 someone suggested the Tigers should earn back the whites. Obviously, Les did not do institute this and the time to do it would've been the 2012 season. But, it could've given a shot.

I still like adapting the gear to the environment: wearing gold jerseys when colors are mandated during hot arse day game always seemed like a good call.

Addendum I: Evidence of objection to Purple Jerseys.


I'll concede you could blame the white helmets and pants. Or you can recognize the dye/pigments/colored-matter on the uniforms aren't playing the game; the players are.

Addendum II: Those uniforms do look cool as frick.

Wouldn’t surprise me if they do it for the Ole Miss game. They are honoring the 1958 team and a Billy Cannon salute.

I prefer the white uniforms no doubt.

But I’m with you. I think these new tigers need to create their own identity. Let’s do the purple and win with them.
