re: LSU ALL WHITE UNIFORM PETITION.

(no message)

That is the worst uni I have ever seen. There are Tiger fans that like them and then there are the heterosexual fans.

Well said!

I like the traditional uniforms, sorry fellas. No all whites for me. White jerseys, gold pants, and gold headgear. Tradition.

I'm not sure how else to say this, but I'll try again...

LSU has NOT always worn what we wear today. You know that, right? The beginings of what we wear today and think of as our "TRADITIONAL" uniforms stem from the late 50's. Before then, we wore all sorts of stuff...most notably purples at home. We wore Old Gold like Notre Dame. So rather than saying "traditional" why not just say "current uniform?"

I can understand simply not likling a change in uniform for basic style sake...but hanging the reason to tradition is a little disingenuous to me. If, howevere, LSU was looking to make a chance to something like what we're wearing this weekend, I'd be ringing that "tradition" bell along with you. THOSE would not be traditional uniforms...

I just don't get the claims that it would be blasphemous to use an alternate uniform occasionally that mirrors our current design but simply utilizes our colors more. Afterall...I don;t think anyone has suggested we get rid of our current gold/white/gold uniforms in favor of wholesale change...have they?

But take a look around...things most certainly change. LSU will change...sooner or later. The choice will be to allow Nike to help choose that change (see this week's abomination of a uniform) or for us to go to something along these lines which look like what we already wear.

As for the stripes, I've heard that it has to do with the way the jersey are now cut and how tight they are. I'm not so sure, since ole Miss also is a Nike uniform team, and they seem to wear full shoulder stripes. I agree...I prefer the full ones, just don't know if they are doable.

Remove the stripes on the legs, like on the Tulane throw-back jerseys and you are definitely on to something!

GeauxTiger....fifty years is a long time, especially in our "change-everything-immediately-or-it's-lame" culture. Fifty years is tradition. I mean listen to some of these posters, five years is ancient history to a kid who's 18 and who believes nothing of value ever existed before he or she was born. That's kind of sad.

I agree with your point, though, about the styling being a bit more timeless than the new creations we see at Miami, Oregon, Virginia Tech, etc. You're correct on that. I dislike the all white. even the gold helmets might improve that look, some.

I'd like to see some options in old gold/metallic gold.

I'd like to see the "UCLA Stripes" go all the way around, again.

I've posted that the gold jersey that was posted on Trindon Holliday with the very simple purple block "8" on it is nice with or without the UCLA stripes, and over white pants with the gold headgear.

I'd also like to see our "gold" toned down again from the bright yellow, but that wouldn't show up as well on television.

You're right, you Photoshoppers are damn good.
