For the first time since 1998, LSU will wear gold jerseys in the football game on Saturday against Mississippi State.
In a news release, LSU coach Les Miles announced that the Tigers will wear the “Gridiron Gold” uniform in the Tigers annual “Gold Game.” 
“We’re very excited to wear the old LSU colors and honor the past with this new uniform,” said junior running back Leonard Fournette in the release. “It’s a special moment for us to be able to wear it and represent Louisiana on the field. The uniform is a throwback; it’s a classy look.”
The Tigers will also be wearing special helmets that include numerals inside of the traditional LSU logo. The helmets pay tribute to LSU’s helmet design from 1957-71, when the players’ jersey numbers were also displayed on each side of the headgear.
The jerseys will also include a vintage block “L” on the right hip of the pants and the old school “Sailor Mike” logo on the collars of the jerseys.
It will also be the first time LSU has worn gold jerseys in Tiger Stadium since 1996, when the Tigers posted a 35-0 win over Vanderbilt.
