Hate all of this "alt" crap for LSU.

We should ALWAYS wear our gold helmets. ALWAYS.

We should ALWAYS wear our gold pants. ALWAYS.

We should wear our white jerseys MOST OF THE TIME, and only wear the purple ones for lesser non-conference games other than the home opener.

And THAT'S IT.

No purple or white helmets. No purple or white pants. No gold jerseys.

The ONLY exception I would consider for a variation in colors is a TRUE throwback uniform, like the ones from the 40s when we wore metallic "Old Gold" helmets, or this athletic gold one from the Billy Cannon days:

If that's been confirmed, I definitely approve.

Last year we wore it against Army with a quite favorable outcome. And it looks good.

Don't know why the Tigers have never worn gold-purple-white.

heard one of the announcers during the game last week say we stole that idea from UCLA

they were talking about our shoulder stripes. They weren't wrong. Those shoulder stripes are called "UCLA" stripes.

Why can’t they get white pants that actually match the jersey

Meh. If you’re going white pants with white jerseys, I prefer they go full storm trooper with white helmets or go purple helmets.

And the random L on the thigh that isn’t used in any other on field product. If they could match the stripes and streamline the uniforms, it would be perfect.

Probably because the "upset potential", based on past football history, was greater with S. Alabama than UCLA. It's too risky to wear purple against a South Alabama team that's surging

I imagine they would be wearing the white helmets except that USA wears white helmets.

It’s idiotic that the white helmet and white pants don’t match the striping pattern of the white jersey, which is the most iconic part of the LSU uniform.

If they must have alternates to have more “swag” or whatever bullshite term they use to justify wearing alternates, at least make the white helmet and white pants striping patterns match the striping patterns of the white jersey. That’s not a hard thing to do. So do it.

That all-gold look was in 1959, vs Florida and Kentucky. I guess it's forever relegated to the past.

Might as well just go white helmets and call for a white out at this point


yup. the best alt combos after the two classics of G-W-G and G-P-G are:

W-W-W

W-P-W

WTF is this G-W-W shite?

I'd rather see G-G-W like we did in 1996 against vandy, 1997 against ND in indy bowl and 1998 agaisnt UF.

I wish they would finally go with purple-gold-purple striping for the white helmet/pants.

Why they’ve kept the template from the 07 Tulane alternate for 17 years is beyond me. It doesn’t match the rest of the aesthetic program.

They do. They look so much better. The biggest complaint I have about the whites is not enough color. LSU has the best color combo in all of sports and they forego it for white.
