I remember a decade ago, the annual gold game was a thing that LSU would actively advertise, and fans would actually show up in gold in droves. The last gold game I can actually remember is I think 2017 Auburn. Does LSU just not advertise them anymore? Most casual fans today wouldn't even know we did them.

"color" games only work when there is 100% participation from fans.

Whenever LSU did the gold games, they'd only get like 60-70%, so the crowd just looked slightly gold-er than for a normal game.

If they do it again, they need to literally give every seat a gold shirt.

LSU fans could never be bothered to alter their own traditions to buy in on color games



"I wear the same lucky purple tshirt to every home game and bygod if LSU don't have a winning record for all the games I attend. I ain't about to take it off and wear a gold shirt for a stunt. Leave that kinda shite to the Big10 schools. I'll be wearing my purple on Saturday."

I have been wearing the same purple and gold polo to every home for the last 15 years. I has gold in it so I always am in compliance.

The last “color” game for LSU Football was a purple game vs New Mexico in 2022

Give me a free shirt of the color of their choice for a particular game and I’ll wear it. The women did that the other night for the white-out game, so I put the shirt on and I wore it.

Otherwise, I get to pick my shirt and my color. Yes, I know providing 100K+ shirts is more expensive than providing 13,000 shirts. But that’s the deal. For the most part, color-coordination games are stupid.

This looks a lot closer to 80-90% to me. I actually though it looked awesome!
