Technically I think its called canary yellow. This thread is ridiculous, our colors are the shite, most unique in the conference.

I'd say we're actually tied. I like your colors as well as UT's.

Unique is not necessarily a good thing. UT is unique

WTF? Really?

Officially, it's "Old Gold":

Old gold is a dark yellow, which varies from light olive or olive brown to deep or strong yellow. The widely accepted color "Old gold" is on the darker side of this range.

The first recorded use of old gold as a color name in English was in the early 19th century (exact year uncertain).[2]

The problem is that everyone just uses yellow.

LSU's colors are Royal Purple and Old Gold.

The helmets we use are Canary yellow, and our football/all sports use that.

The official colors are Royal Purple and Old Gold, and they look badass together
