What happened to my ¤cash?
Boy, I hope they didn’t. Should they, we all risk the wonder that is ‘Fuck Penn State’ coming from the stands at Rutgers on all third downs regardless of who they are playing.

ok, so after the official press release, i like the REASONING behind the alts. but still hate the way they look.
honoring the 1918 “Silent Season” when LSU did not field a football team due to the number of students and faculty that enlisted in the military to fight in WWI.
ghosted in the numbers are Oak trees representing the row of 30 Oaks planted on Campus in honor of those from LSU who never came home from the war.
no name plate on back of jeresey to represent the “unknown soldiers” who also didn’t return.
the color changing helmet is allegedly a throwback to ancient french armor. but i don’t recall them having hyper color back then. so it’s just a stupid “look at me” gimmick.

Pretty sure the Joan of Arc was the first to wear HyperColor during the Hundreds' Year War. If she were to move from left to right in the picture below you would see it go from the gray/grey/silver to a darker shade of gray/grey/silver.

LSU unveils new uniform to pay respect to 1918 season, including new color-shifting helmet
No. 5 LSU hosts No. 22 Mississippi State this weekend in Death Valley for a big game within the SEC West that also holds some significant national implications as well. This contest between the Tigers and Bulldogs has been an underrated game the past few years and you can bet the night game atmosphere on Saturday will only add to that.
LSU is ramping things up a bit more however with a surprising new uniform for the game however. The new look, unveiled on Twitter Thursday afternoon, is designed to pay homage to the 1918 “Silent Season” at the school where students and players left campus to fight in World War I instead of clashing on the gridiron.

Good for them. There's isn't a better reason to wear a uniform to honor the past.

like i said love the reason.
LSU has a long military history dating back to the Civil War.
1918 is just one example.
i know football in 1918 wasn’t like it is now, but i was always curious how many other universities shut it down for a year due to students joining the war.
our baseball field is named after a former player who left school to fight in the pacific theater but didn’t come home.

I lived in Haverfield on North Campus and was told by a very reliable source that our residence hall was named after a Buckeye who lost his life on Omaha Beach. The source....none other than The Man....Mr. Woody Hayes.

Not to be party pooper, but James Haverfield was reported missing (presumed dead) during Pearl Harbor. Three other Alum died at Pearl Harbor with dorms named after them: Blackburn, Halloran, and Scott (who also received the Medal of Honor).
A number of other dorms are also related to veterans from WWI and WWII.
- Barrett was a Naval aviator in WWI
- Nosker flew some 30 missions in WWII, Bronze star and 4 Air Medals, before dying on a night mission
- Norton was an Army aviator in WWI, and suffered mortal wounds during a dogfight at the close of the war. Distinguished Service Cross. He was buried in France.
- Raney was a nurse who died in WWII. She's the first female casualty from Ohio State.
- Houck is named after 2 brothers, Edwin and Ernest.
Edwin became an B24 navigator for the Army. He flew for 4 years before a crash landing. He was declared missing, presumed dead.
Ernest became a Naval aviator and died in a crash during training after 6 years as an instructor pilot.
- Archer had previously served in the closing days of WWII as a Private earning a Bronze Star -- I can't find a specific reference to Omaha or Normandy, but his heroic actions described in several places would certainly fit those events. I strongly suspect this may be the man you're referring to and wires got crossed somewhere along the line ? He was also the first alumnus casualty of the Korean War. As part of the Tropic Lightning Division, 35th Regiment and the timing he died setting up the Pusan Perimeter. Casualties for the 35th spike sharply on July 22 1950, Archer is reported KIA on July 29th with 6 other men. Posthumously awarded the Silver Star for evacuating men under his command.
