I don’t mind the gold jersey, but not with gold pants

Yeah I don't hate the gold jersey. Would probably go with either purple or white pants, though, just so you don't have the same color head to toe. Not the worst look though. Honestly, I think our white jerseys with gold pants look freaking amazing, though. The update to the shoulder striping and the bright yellow really freaking pop on TV this year. Really looks good. Easily a top 3, if not best overall, uniform in college football.

I don't think it is top 3 in the nation (for change of pace uniforms), but is something different and IMO fairly good looking and is eye catching. For some reason our fans don't like when we change up the uniforms, even if it is just for a game or two here and there.

I'd be down with the gold jersey with white pants, definitely not gold pants

LSU Gold is only to be an accent, not a primary.

Keep the unis the way they are. I like the white tops at home.
I don't want them to look like a cheese stick running around.

I think it’s hilarious to read all the “stick to tradition” comments. When Dietzel changed to the brighter yellow color and our modern day traditional uniform, we wore this exact uniform.

correct. Our uniform has changed many times. The big change was in the 50s with the change from old gold to yellow. Our helmet changed from yellow w/o numerals to yellow with numerals, then the helmet numerals changed size and font several times, then the change to the Bert Jones' era helmet with the circular tiger, then the change to the almost current version, but the "helmet Mike" tiger was changed significantly a few years ago.

For our jerseys, the shade of purple is far lighter than in the past, the shoulder stripes change almost annually, the pant stripes have added a yellow inner stripe and have gotten much thicker than in the past, and the jersey number font has completely changed.

Change happens, folks. I'm an old-school guy too and fully appreciate tradition, but it's good to freshen things up, while not going down the Oregon-style path.

ETA: I'd even argue that the yellow has gotten brighter since the 70s, when it looked a bit more mustard-colored.

If you're going to do a gold uniform, it's gotta be something like this:

FYI, this is the uniform wore in 1958 or 1959 at Florida. Shouldn't be worn again!!!!!


To be 100% correct, we wore this at the very beginning of the modern uni in 1957

Call me crazy, but I like it best of any of the mostly/all gold uni looks I’ve seen at LSU. Traditional white jersey, gold pants and head gear still best look for Tigers.
