I believe it's more about superstition but that's not even a good reason after all of these years. But, the white jerseys do look a whole lot better than than the purple.

The purple jerseys are ugly, and we don’t have to ask anyone anything at home.

Our tradition is to wear white at home, we ask teams to wear colors as a courtesy to honor the tradition. Most say yes, Florida is always a toss up.

LSU Tigers' tradition of wearing white jerseys at home, contrary to the typical NCAA standard of dark home jerseys, began in 1958 under head coach Paul Dietzel and was brought back by DiNardo in 1995.

What is embarrassing about that?

I like to shite on LSU as much as the next guy, but the whites at home is pretty cool to me. The only other team in all of football to do it permanently is the Cowboys with the dolphins, panthers, and Bucs doing it in occasional hot games.

Trindon Holliday TYFYS on NCAA 2008.

Putting him at RB and throwing him a screen pass was a cheat code.

They wear white in solidarity with their very own David Duke.

Georgia Tech has been doing it for decades.

Many NFL teams do it now.
