Burn the purple jerseys. They're unlucky and last year's loss to TROY proved it.

TYRIAN PURPLE 'Royal Purple's History'
Tyrian purple (royal purple) is the royal color of Kings, Popes and Caesars

Has LSU ever considered using that uniform combination for a game? Looks good in basketball. I understand uniform history

But in 1983, it looked like the tradition would come crashing down when new NCAA rules prohibited home teams from wearing white. So LSU was forced to don its purple jerseys (blasphemy in Baton Rouge) at home between 1983 and ’94. Despite winning SEC titles in 1986 and ’88, passionate Tigers fans often complained the purple threads were bad luck and that an important Bayou football tradition had been pushed to the side.

One non conference game would be a nice change.

Outside of our standard uni's, the only alts we should ever wear are White helmets, Purple jerseys, White pants. That combo is so sleek and impressive.

It's beautiful, for sure, but will always be spoiled by the loss to *gasp* Troy.

I came here to say this very thing. That was the sharpest alternative uni LSU has ever worn

And, really, those white jerseys wouldn’t be so steeped in lore had the Tigers not produced so many memorable victories while wearing them.

All victorys against those teams were in our classic white jerseys w/ gold pants and headgear.
