I agree that the classic Notre Dame helmet was far superior to those chrome helmets they now wear. It's been years since the switch, and it still doesn't look like Notre Dame.

I like this W/P/W combo for LSU more than any other alternate, but they've really overdone the use of alternate uniforms this year. Teams like Penn State, Texas and Alabama don't wear a lot of different uniforms to appease recruits, and they seem to have done fairly well.

6 games in 1 year we will not be wearing our classic whites. Wtf?


Whether y’all like it or not, the players don’t wanna wear the same gold white gold for every game. Most teams swap home and away.

This will be 5 alternates to 7 games in our classic uniform this year. That's too frequent.i


How many schools wear the same uniform on the road and at home? In other words, how many wear the same uniform more than 7 games per year?

So the players get a say? The players? No it’s a damn honor and a privilege that the people of the great State of Louisiana offered to give them an education and to play football for them. Further team. In their uniform. I’m sorry, I was raised in that place even with purple jerseys but we always wore yellow helmets. If we start letting spoiled entitled children select what our uniform is, we as a fanbase and boosters may just decide to stop supporting them. So I don’t know if that’s who did it or that idiot Sloan (he had Tech playing in white helmets there too) or if it’s just a lazy equipment manager. But the bottom line is there shouldn’t be a damn choice. The choice was to play for LSU and LSU wears tradition.

Holy shite man. You sound entitled as frick. I have been a fan for almost 50 years. But the current players have put more blood, sweat, and tears into the program than I have.

This senior class has lost more games than any senior group since the 1990s.

They should worry more about winning games and less about changing the uniforms.

If we are going to wear purple jerseys, I’ll take the WPW combo over GPG any day. I think it looks way better and it’s basically become our go-to combo for purple jerseys anyway.

I can understand why people want us to wear the normal home whites. I think we should be wearing the GWG combo at least 7-8 times over a 12 game season.

But you’re in here saying we need to wear GPG 5 times a year? frick all that. That’s basically what we have now, only with a worse uniform combo.

This is what the “KeEp CrYiNg!” crowd doesn’t get (mostly people under age 25 or over 40 pretending they’re that age)

It used to be legitimately fun when we’d drop an alternate unexpectedly.

Now its so overdone and lame.

And again, this is the fricking uniform we wore when we lost to troy. Should’ve been binned right after.

That's Tennessee. They've wandered in the college football wilderness for a couple of decades and change their uniforms at the drop of a hat.

Now do Penn State, Texas and Alabama. Or you can just pick another random school, like Tennessee.

Yes. In fact, I read earlier in this thread where you were saying that we should wear a purple jerseys on the road. Wtf

I’m old enough to remember when Gold Purple Gold was an alt uniform.

Prior to the last couple of years, that'd be the uni we wear whenever we played a non-power 5.

So ... I'll allow it.

SUCK IT BARRY SWITZER!!!

I’m just pointing out that other SEC teams do it. Reading this thread you would swear that LSU is the only team that wear alt unis. I like the classics but I don’t get the butt hurt that our fans have over alt uniforms.

50% of our games were “alternates”

Doesn’t really support the word alternate does it?

What the hell has LSU become?
