BATON ROUGE — The LSU baseball squad will wear a special, limited-edition jersey for Sunday’s 1 p.m. game versus Arkansas as part of Military Appreciation Day in Alex Box Stadium.
The jerseys are black with letters and numbers presented in camouflage colors as a tribute to the men and women of the armed forces. All military personnel will be admitted to Sunday’s game for only $4 with their military ID.
“We’re proud in this small way to be able to show our appreciation to the military,” said LSU coach Smoke Laval. “It is an honor to recognize the service of all soldiers — past and present — and the sacrifices they have made for our country.”
Some of the jerseys will be shipped following the game to Louisiana troops serving overseas.
A limited number of t-shirts that resemble the jersey will be on sale Sunday at the Tiger Gift Center trailer inside Alex Box Stadium. The shirts will sell for $11 each.
The jerseys and t-shirts were manufactured by Russell Athletic, the official uniform supplier for LSU Baseball.
