Charlie Coates was afraid the Tiger uniforms would look lame compared to Tulane's. He bought ribbons to spruce up ours. The store had purple and gold already in but the green had yet to arrive.
This.

Some of our “purple” unis look damned near blue on TV.

Mardi Gras please explain I’m a little late to the game as to how that coordinated to School Colors?
The FIRST LSU-Tulane game was played close to Mardi Gras season.
The teams decorated their generic uniforms with ribbon.
Tulane bought all the GREEN ribbon from a local department store and LSU was stuck with the "Sloppy Seconds" PURPLE and GOLD ribbon.......

Blue and White is like Duke of the SEC
You mean like Kentucky?

Mardi Gras story sums up that LSU took the purple and gold and Tulane took the green. Look it up; that’s where their colors originated.

purple and gold is such a unique color scheme
I don’t know anything about art, but I suppose that purple and gold complement each other.
So does orange and blue
And so do red and green for Christmas.

How would we know what the flip might have been? Is Tulane in the same boat damning they are not purple and gold?

Obviously none of us would be fans and the University would have long since shut down.
