For the first time since 2016, the LSU football team will be wearing gold jerseys.
LSU is one of the most traditional programs in the nation when it comes to uniforms. The Tigers stick almost exclusively to white jerseys with gold pants, whether the team is playing home or away.
There have been alternates over the years, and LSU has worn purple jerseys with both gold and white pants, as well as an all-white combo during the Brian Kelly era.

On the other hand, many people have been clamoring for gold jerseys, and their requests have finally been answered.
Saturday against Vanderbilt will mark the first time LSU has worn gold since it played Mississippi State in 2016 in mustard gold. Before that, the Tigers wore gold in 1996, 1997 and 1998.
