Oh yall were the only school to send kids to War? Got it.
What a douche.

The Tigers will wear uniforms that pay homage to The Silent Season of 1918, when LSU did not suit up on the field, but rather took to the battle field in World War I.
LSU will emerge Saturday night from the Tiger Stadium chute in specially designed uniforms that salute the past and pay homage to heroes. #LSU125 pic.twitter.com/GA8L5HSVsf — LSU Football Equip (@LSUFBEquipment) October 18, 2018
The helmets are considered “the crown jewel” of the ensemble. The helmet changes colors from purple to gold “like an iridescent Mardi Gras bead" depending on the light. The flag on the back of the helmet is reminiscent of the 1918 flag with 48 stars and the year 1918 is on the back of the helmets on the bottom.
The uniforms — jerseys and pants — are white with purple and gold details. There’s an underlying oak leaf pattern throughout the uniform, as an ode to the oak trees in the Memorial Oak Grove that were planted to honor the fallen in World War I.
There won’t be names on the backs of jerseys this week, “to honor the unknown members of the LSU community who lost their lives in World War I.”

LSU's Memorial Tower is also a World War I memorial.
As the school moved to its current campus in the 1920s, World War I was very much fresh in their minds.
quote:
With the entry of the United States into World War I in April 1917, almost the entire LSU Cadet Corps volunteered. A regiment was designated as "The Louisiana Cadets." A former LSU student, General John A. Lejeune, was the first commander of a Marine Corps combat division and later became Commandant of the United States Marine Corps. Another outstanding LSU cadet of this era was General Campbell B. Hodges. After World War I, he went on to serve as Commandant of the Cadets at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and as military adviser to President Herbert Hoover. (He returned to his alma mater, LSU, as President from 1941-44).

Never forget that Mississippi state is Mississippi state. Which is about as bad as it gets. Perpetual bottom feeders.

So is Mississippi State, but obviously you don’t care about that do you?

It is deeply concerning that you don’t understand this.
You are an actual alum of Mississippi state aren’t you.

I am, but the fact that you resorted to this tells me you're insecure because your dumbass didn't even go to LSU.

Please tell me how you arrived at this assumption?

My entire family is entrenched in oil and gas. I wanted to be a maxillofacial surgeon, but then decided to continue the tradition that our family has had since my grandfather worked for standard oil offshore.

Are you going to tell us all about your degree and what you do? You’ve asked me, so obviously this is important to you.
