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
I think that's a bit of an oversimplification. The longer story that I heard was that LSU wore white at home for good luck in a game against a highly-ranked Georgia Tech squad in the late 1950s (because GT's team had long been known for wearing white at home). LSU won the game and kept wearing white jerseys for the remainder of the season for good luck.
