That picture isn't from 59. He just signed it "Heisman 59."

Interesting. Thought that was from Cannons sophomore year. Fairly certain we wore the white jerseys every game after 1958 under Charlie Mac. He thought the white was lucky

Nice try.
are you seriously trying to be a smart arse about what year a black and white picture was taken. You got me!!!! Posted on 12/19/19 at 3:30 pm to lsufball19
Why is everyone just sitting there in that photo. Looks like a dive into the endzone?

I am wondering why the Heisman portrait of Billy Cannon is of him wearing a gold jersey, considering he only wore a gold jersey once in 1957
Can you please explain since you arent new to lsu football either? I am sure you will stay to give an answer and not run with your tail tucked.....

That is a 20 on his left shoulder. The 0 is not straight because it is lumped up.

Boomers were, at the most, 12 to 14 years old in 1959. Couldn't have been one of them. They may have screwed up the country, but they didn't screw up this photo.

Because skip Bertman was alive and well at LSU back in 1959.

If you go to Google and type in “Billy Cannon” and click images, there is a picture of hos Heisman trophy on display with both a white and an old gold jersey hanging behind it. There is no mistake it’s a gold jersey. I would have pasted it here but I’m not savvy enough to accomplish that task. Sorry ! It’s there if you scroll down on Google images.

LSU wore black and white jerseys in the 50s

We had this convo yesterday.
The Yellow/White combo started in 1957.
The traditional Gold Jersey ended in 1956.
At the turn of the century, LSU’s colors were blue and white.

Billy Cannon wore a gold jersey for exactly one game in his entire LSU playing career (in 1957). He wore white for the rest
Seems odd they would put him in a gold jersey
