Y'all are way overthinking this.

You know how that 'written agreement' goes? Your director of football is ops emails the other director of football ops and says 'hey, we're going to wear white when we play you'. The other guy goes 'sounds good' and everybody moves on. I've been involved in this stuff. It's the least formal thing ever and nobody bats an eye at it.

Oh absolutely not. I was just commenting about people thinking it was the big formal process.

It'll be Cardinal helmets and jerseys with whatever pants.
I don’t think it’ll be this FWIW

LSU must have a standing agreement that they're wearing whites with every team that comes into their place.

I wonder if that's a traditional agreement (even if it has to be formalized case-by-case). In rare cases when LSU does purple-at-home, I wonder how often that's LSU's choice or if opposing team nixed it. I'm sure someone somewhere has done legwork research about that. Too busy-lazy to search :)

Interesting stuff, I always thought home team had the choice of jerseys. LSU must have a standing agreement that they're wearing whites with every team that comes into their place. You'd think some SEC coaches would try f*cking with them by saying no deal.
They had to wear purples from 83-95. Gerry Dinardo appealed to wear whites at home in 95 and was denied, then individually met with each rules committee member (cough cough $$$ cough cough) and was finally approved for exception.

I believe black is one of our original school colors…almost positive there was a display in the Jacobson building that I saw a few years ago that confirmed this. Maybe the toe actually stole black from us…

Can any ISU history junkies shed some light on this?

This is true. Black and silver, both (and gold). It changed circa 1899. It was somewhat difficult to dye uniforms those colors back then.

Right on- thanks for the reply.

Given that fact, we should embrace our history, and add the silver too. How cool would silver and black be?
As long as we don't turn into the Raiders, just fine. I think black, silver, and gold could be damn snazzy, though the Hoks would howl even more.
