For some reason or another, Gerry DiNardo made it (or brought back, not sure which) a tradition for LSU to wear white jerseys at home. I don't agree with it, but that's because I like the purple jerseys.
White Jerseys have been an LSU tradition since the 1950's. The purple jerseys are ugly, they look like Mardi Gras. White & gold looks better on TV, especially versus a red team like Bama or Arkansas.
We wear the purple jerseys for 2 home games a year. The 2nd home game of the season and homecoming we wear the purple jerseys.
Coach asked everybody to wear the gold on his radio show last night. So I am wearing gold. If Nick asked me to wear bacon around my neck, I would do it.
