Question: Jersey colors...
- Thread starter TIDE-HSV
- Start date
I've heard nothing anywhere to indicate LSU might show up in the purple jerseys, but crazier things have happened.
Think the answer here is no, because I believe the rules require the teams to agree to wear the colored jerseys. I would doubt LSU would do that.
No, not without prior approval from the NCAA which they don't give lightly.
The way it works is that, by default, the home team wears their solid (e.g. home) jerseys and the visiting team wears their white (e.g. away) jerseys. However, the home team can request that the visiting team wear a particular version of their jersey/uniform in order to accommodate their desire to wear a particular uniform. However, it is up to the visiting team to decide whether or not they want to comply with that request.
So, in LSU's case, they prefer to wear their whites at home so they typically request that every visiting team wear their home uniforms at Tiger Stadium. However, if the visiting team refuses that request then LSU is forced to wear their ugly, purple, home uniforms at home.
Personally, I wouldn't mind refusing the request and forcing them to wear those ugly purple uniforms except for the fact that it might unnecessarily give them more emotional "fuel" for the game - if they didn't have more than enough already.

You must be joking. It's a combination of my lucky T-shirt and unwashed game socks that wins games. The game flag must fly on game day regardless of wind or rain. My wife must not comment on the game if she enters the room. The wings must be properly prepared. AND you must choose the proper hat for the game.
Sheesh.
Only requires the two teams agree prior to the beginning of the season.No, not without prior approval from the NCAA which they don't give lightly.

General Rules about Jersey Colors
- NCAA rules state that all players on the same team must wear jerseys that are the same color and design. In general, those jerseys use the official school colors, as determined by the school handbook. Visiting teams are to wear jerseys of a contrasting color. In general, players from the visiting team must wear white jerseys with the numbers, team name and player name printed in a contrasting color. Jerseys also cannot be a similar color to the ball.
Exceptions to the Rules
- Players on the home team may wear white jerseys only if the teams have agreed to the arrangement prior to the season starting. This agreement must be in writing. If a visiting team wishes to wear a colored jersey during a game, both teams need to agree to the change before the game and the football conference must certify that the jersey is a contrasting color to that of the home team. In other words, both teams will not be allowed to wear navy blue jerseys, because that would lead to confusion.
I think you may be on to something, but I think my pregame shirt and then my game shirt that I change into 15 min. before kickoff(never wear them any other time) are right there also. Heck who knows how many games we might loose without us.
Maybe Alabama's superior play at Bryant-Denny isn't about the venue but because we're wearing our crimson jerseys.
My 2 year old received a gift of an Alabama cheerleading uniform last fall which she wore twice...during the Iron Bowl and Sugar Bowl. The uniform is no longer with us.
I believe the SEC has a rule that says LSU gets to wear white at home and the other schools can't mess with that. Seems I read that on this board some years back but don't go gambling on where I read it.
LSU wears their White jerseys at home for SEC games--and their Purple Jerseys at home for non-conference games
I'd be shocked if they didn't wear white. Personally, I think they have the best looking uniform in America when they wear Purple, but they obviously don't like it too much.
Yea Sip I think their uni's look better with the purple on too but we all know how they are.
I just wished our crimson helmets matched the red jerseys:biggrin:
