re: I’ll just say it … the alt uniforms we wore last year need to go

get you aren’t happy having to backtrack because said something that was easily proven wrong. Do some research next time and know what the frick you are talking about.

Every one of those teams wears a different jersey at least 5 or 6 times per season, even if they don’t use alternates. Again, everyone has different home and away uniforms except for LSU. That’s doesn’t confuse anyone.

---

The thread is about alternate uniforms you stupid frick. Not home and away uniforms. LSU’s home and away uniform just so happens to be the same and that’s our tradition. Has been for a long time.

quote:

---

Many of them (Clemson, OSU, UGA, and ND) do at least one alternate or throwback per season.

---

Which is perfectly fine. They’re still wearing their traditional uniforms way more than not. Last year we wore alternates more than we wore traditional.

but we actually NEED some variety in the lineup

---

Explain this. Why? Why do we have to have all sorts of different combinations of uniforms?

quote:

I have my opinion, but I also accept the fact that it, just like yours, doesn’t mean shite. This is a business, and if wearing 3 or 4 different jersey combos per season helps us make money and in recruiting, then it’s stupid to oppose it to cling to the past. So unless you are a big donor cutting a check to offset that potential extra revenue, it doesn’t matter what you think about this. It never will again.

Seriously, that’s your reasoning? fricking merchandise sales?

How old are you? 12? If the 94 in your name is your birth year, then we are the same age. I just have a little taste.

The only alternate we need!

I don’t mind wearing the alternates that look good. Those yellow jerseys were ugly as frick though.

---

I like the concept, but I agree they could have done a better job with it.

Imagine being 50 and using the term “old head”

Your mindset sure as hell is, along with several others here.

Disagree with Saban’s point from the early 2000s all you want, but the players got him to change away from using a single uniform all season. That man didn’t do anything without a plan or a reason. Expanding that to no more than 1/3 of the season is nothing in the grand scheme of things.

You can bang your drum of not caring about others having home vs away jerseys all you want, but that’s still one more variation that many fans will buy and one more that the recruits and players will wear. Several of the teams you tried to bring up use at least 3 jerseys regularly. That’s no single jersey worn for more than half of their season. It doesn’t hurt their branding, so much so that you didn’t even realize they were doing it when you made your first post.

As for money, you don’t just get extra sales for jerseys bought. You get it by playing ball with brands like Nike and Adidas. Maybe you missed that Tennessee just signed with Adidas for $10 million per year plus an NIL incentive program. And you think this shite doesn’t matter You get a bigger contract with these companies when you generate more sales. More variety absolutely equals more sales. And that now equals more money for players. It isn’t an accident that Penn St didn’t just wear an alternate jersey last year- they wore it for a fricking playoff game. That’s as much exposure as you can get and this is why they did it.

Our current deal with Nike is only work $5.8 million per year, by the way. We need that to go up when renegotiated in 2026.

LSU probably won’t ever go as far as last season again, but it’s just silly to complain about adding a little bit of variety into the mix, especially when two variations are still traditional LSU jerseys. It’s stupid hill to die on.

if we were traditionalist we would were Purple at home like we use to. But we don't .

We not Bama or GA . Bama Unis suck

I look at the other elite game of the day--Texas at Ohio St.- and I don't see them changing their uniforms several times during the season. Iconic uniforms should not be messed with outside of a few occasions. We should be excited about the fact that we have one of those instantly recognized uniforms.

Texas is one of the few programs that doesn’t do any variations.

Ohio State has their different home and away jerseys (which we don’t have), and they typically do at least alternative jersey per season. As of last year, OSU had 14 different alternative jerseys from 2009 to now. Check the receipts on that here:

OSU Alts

You guys keep acting like a few of these programs never wear anything outside of their traditional home and away, when in reality, pretty much everyone but Texas and Bama does it now.

I have a feeling that with revenue sharing & so many schools looking for extra avenues of income, we may see these two schools doing them soon as well.

"Kid's" come and go. Its about the schools traditon. We're not Oregon.

That’s just a reactionary statement. We have never, even last year going to the extreme for us, come close to anything Oregon does. We aren’t changing jersey designs. We aren’t rolling out different helmets with fricking Tiger Eyes. Every change is just shuffling elements we already have, or have used before, and all using the official school colors.

We’ve had a few one offs in the past like the Nike Pro Combats, the 2019 purple helmet, and the throwback helmets with numbers on them a few years ago, but all of those have been for a single game only. The combos in use now have either been around for a long time (Gold-Purple-Gold and Gold Jerseys), or are just variations using existing gear (White-Purple-White and All White).

A team that better fits what you are talking about is Ole Myth with their RealTree helmet (which looked like shite) and now “Rock” helmet this season, and changing up school colors when they feel like it because their staff misordered helmets in the wrong shade of blue 60 years ago.
