    I learned in elementary school that white, black, brown and gray go with all colors and that orange and blue are complementary colors. So all y’all fashion police officers need to have a talk with my color wheel teacher.

    Funny how we don’t bitch about the basketball team wearing black.

    It’s a tradition that Napier started when he was at ULL and bringing it here. The kids like alternate uniforms unlike most of the fans here.

    Beyond the Jersey: Cajun football will honor military on Saturday

    It is his idea.

    I tried to wear aluminum foil to reflect the heat, but brought my body to medium rare perfectly in about two hours.

    Sounds delicious. Where can one find these sweet treats in Florida?

    I would desert wearing black in the desert in favor of having desserts with girls wearing nothing at all.

    FUN FACT: LSU decided to wear white at home back in ‘58 and they ended up winning the National Championship. Since ‘95, LSU only had to wear purple on the road only four times and they went 2-2 with their two losses both against UF.

    I’ve never heard it discussed in any other sport except football — which of course is your point. But FWIW, I don’t wear black shirts in the sun because they’re hot. That applies to everyone, regardless of whether or not they’re playing a sport. Depending upon the sport, that may or may not be significant. I can’t imagine running around a tennis court in the hot sun wearing black

    As a fan, I love the alternate uniforms. I like how Oregon switches it up and comes out looking fresh. My opinion is that people are letting superstition get the best of them. If we lose in an alternate uniform then it had to be the uniform that messed us up and not the play on the field. As much as the old folks hate it, the players love it and they want to look fly on the field. I’m all for it.

    Every time I see a team go for the black unis it comes across as a desperation move - like they’re trying to create some new motivation or jump start something missing. When’s the last time anybody saw Bama sporting black unis?
