LSU fans: Why do you avoid the purple jersey?

I wish we would incorporate more purple into everything. Basically everything I have LSU wise is predominantly purple, not a yellow (gold) fan.

The reason though is historical, from wiki

quote:

---

The tradition started in 1958, when Coach Paul Dietzel decided that LSU would wear white jerseys for the home games. LSU went on to win the national championship that year

---

Dinardo is the man responsible for bringing the tradition back. LSU had a long stretch where we wore the purples in the traditional home team configuration.

I love our white jerseys as much as the next guy, but I hate how little the purples get worn. I'd like to see the purples come out more every now and again against SEC foes at home. I don't see the current setup changing any time soon though.

Superstition

We lose when we wear purple. Miles knew that when he came to LSU so he only allows his team to wear the purple vs rent-a-wins. If you look at LSU's record wearing purple vs white prior to Miles's tenure, you will see a huge difference in winning percentage.

How about a fleur de lis helmet?

Tradition and supersition and white is tighter than a virgin bride's honeypot



















but our purples are the GOAT jersey in sports history.

It isn't bad at night, but the heat is brutal during the day. It's best to make the other team wear their teams dark color while we are slightly cooler in white.

We will only play in purple at night vs some crap teams like ULM and Sam Houston state.

The purple jerseys are ugly IMO. It makes us look like a FCS school. A purple uniform could look good, but it would have to be redesigned differently than the white jerseys.
