Gridiron Gold Comes to Life: Y.A. Tittle Colorized

Y.A. Tittle In Color

The “Gridiron Gold” jersey design LSU will wear on Sept. 17, 2016, is reminiscent of the jerseys worn by Fighting Tigers during the college career of Y.A. Tittle, who played at LSU from 1944-47. In fact, the idea to create the throwback design was triggered by Tittle’s visit to the LSU campus just a few years ago. The Old Gold color of the throwback jersey mimics the color worn by Tittle and his teammates in the 1940s.
