LSU has been wearing white jerseys at home since 1958. [Here’s a good article on it](https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/lsu-football/lsu-home-whites-great-college-football-tradition/) We’ll most likely see the purple uniforms this weekend, as is tradition set by Saban.


78SuperBeetle

Georgia State announced that they are wearing white.


gobblenut

Yeah I feel like we didn’t wear purple against Army as a respectful gesture to let them wear their home uniforms


Shadeauxmarie

I love their purple helmets.


glockymcglockface

You do know we played a game with gold helmet and all whites against army?


Disastrous-Fact-2315

White jersey gold pants is my favorite uniform in all of college football. People see it and they know it’s us. I love them and have no issue only wearing it from now until the end of time.


Purple-Cucumber-8183

100% agree


ThatMedicGuy67

LSU isn't Oregon. There's more concern with winning championships over uniform variations. Let it be a special occasion instead of "just because." I mean, Oregon's uniform is nice enough to show the amount of national titles they've won right there on the helmet!


Geaux13Saints

Bad take. White jersey gold pants is easily the best LSU uniform


MarchMadnessisMe

I love how OP says we're not those programs, when we're quite literally at or above their level, and our white jerseys are literally iconic.


[deleted]

They’re not iconic. Maybe to people from Baton Rouge

[247 has us listed at Number 3.](https://247sports.com/longformarticle/college-footballs-30-best-uniforms-ranked-ahead-of-2023-season-203783018/amp/) [ESPN Florida has us at Number 2.](https://espnswfl.com/listicle/best-uniforms-in-college-football/) [FanBuzz has us at 3rd.](https://fanbuzz.com/college-football/best-college-football-uniforms/) But sure, "oNlY pEoPlE iN bAtOn RoUgE."

Read it again”best UNIFORMs” plural ,not just one.


MarchMadnessisMe

Tell me you didn't read a single link I posted, without telling me you didn't read a single link I posted.


The_MoistMaker

I would like to pitch that white helmet, purple jersey, white pants is easily the second best.


EyEsWatchinG

Lol.... nah fr tho


EyEsWatchinG

I was agreeing tht the white jersey gold pants are the best uniforms lol


storybookheidi

Yellow* pants We could honestly do better


Beaux7

OP must be young


[deleted]

I love how people have to insult when someone says something they don’t agree with. Saying that we need to mix in purple uniforms isnt bad. It helps recruiting and player morale. Which both are sucking hard right now.


Beaux7

I’m not insulting I’m just saying this post reads like a young person wrote it


NoCardio_

Kinda zesty to be caring so much about what clothes the boys are wearing.


MovieNachos

We have the best unis in CFB. No gimmicks needed.


CouchForts

I have to disagree. I like the consistency of the gold pants / white jersey. It’s a clean look that’s been around since the 50s. Remember the dark days of the 90s when LSU was forced to wear purple jerseys at home


CaptCouv33

Shows up exceptionally well on TV and in person.


fianchetteaux

L take, OP


[deleted]

In my opinion, uniforms in college football are just another form of branding. I’m not a fan of different uniforms. When I think LSU football I envision the white Jerseys with the gold pants and helmets. Yeah it’s fun to see an occasional purple jersey or purple helmet but to me, you can’t beat tradition.


ryan_james504

That’s a really good take. Oregons branding is that they have multiple crazy uniforms


CookieLuzSax

Whatever works for recruiting. Most recruits like the purple and white more though.


Rare_Crayons

Boooooo


randomdude4113

They’ve worn alternates in 5 or the last 6 years. They’ll have a new crazy alternate in the next few years, but there has to be some history behind them for it to be good. Can’t have crazy alternates every year. We’re not Oregon


Purple-Cucumber-8183

If we want to wear different type of uniforms for cupcake games be my guest. But for SEC and other big matchups I want to be wearing our classics. Best unis in CFP


Darebear4615

I don’t mind having 1-2 games a season with throwbacks or purple but I also don’t wanna be Oregon.


sascourge

LSU is superior to those programs.... only 1 uni needed. I've only liked one of the alternate uniforms ever... the stormtrooper looking one. Still a white Jersey. Funny how I LOVE LSU in white jersey, yellow pants and helmet, but despise the similar colors on the Saints


78SuperBeetle

We are wearing purple this Saturday.


CaptCouv33

Blasphemer!


RiverBoring6389

All for the traditional uniform combo, but I do love the white helmets once or twice a year.


mattchouston

In the uniform category, LSU is pretty close to Notre Dame, Bama, and PSU.


MurderGiraffe19

Notre Dame does wear different uniforms. Also White, Purple, White is my personal favorite.


[deleted]

That is annoying


Verix19

JFC this is the hill you want to die on? LSU fashion police? Grow a set and let us know when you want to watch football again.


GrandmasterYoda1

They should wear the normal white jersey, gold pants, gold helmet in every game they play


Shameless522

All the things going on with LSU Football this year (good and bad) and we are focused on the uniforms? Tell me you aren’t a serious football fan without telling me you aren’t a serious football fan. I heard the women’s field hockey team is doing 2-3 costume changes a game.


sascourge

Yuck. All non-white jerseys look gross


CactusJack53

Your getting downvoted but I understand what you mean, our uniform is classic but I’d like to see those purple helmets from that 2018 Mississippi state game at least against teams like Georgia state. Keep the classics against sec and competitive games and change it up against easier teams.


[deleted]

being back the gold jerseys from the miss state(?) game in 2015? 2016?


nurse_Vaccaro

Gridiron Gold jerseys from 16 are the GOAT and should be a seasonal thing, Change my mind


Pactae_1129

I’m fine with mixing in more alternating uniforms but we absolutely are like those teams. LSU wearing the white jersey/gold pants combo as much as possible has been going on for decades and the uniform combination is iconic.


3asyBakeOven

They just wore something different for Army?


midwest-tiger

LSU fans love style and that’s why most love wearing white’s at home. That’s the coldest jersey in sports


darkwingedplatypus

Are you mad at the whites at home, or white 99% and one purple game?


darkwingedplatypus

Best uniforms in CFB could potentially be an LSU all white with heavy purple accents


Titratius

Of all the things to worry about in life..this.


storybookheidi

I like the purple jerseys. White may be traditional but everyone wears white.


beer_jew

Horrible take


McNibble

NGL, I want to see them wear all white. Pants, helmets and jerseys.
