RayFinkle Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Hmmmmmmmm ok then, I guess I will be in the minority and say that I would not mind seeing Climsun in white britches. Just to offset the colored pants LSU will be wearing. But they do look good in the mono-orange. So there is that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrumptious Ham Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Probably an unpopular opinion, but I think lsu in yellow/purple/yellow is one of the best looks in football. I wish they wore it more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crosfam Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Should LSU wear the normal Y/W/Y, I'd love to see Clemson in purple tops and orange pants. Great contrast, but won't happen. Clemson did lose to Bama last time they wore mono orange in this game I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewMLind Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Added this to our bowl preview story yesterday, but here's another look at LSU's jerseys with the 2020 patch. Will be the second time a higher-ranked seed is wearing white in the national championship (Oregon in 2015) and first time that a team wears this patch on the right shoulder.

The year patch usually has black numbers when on a white jersey , right? Really wish they would've worn purple for the game. Dallas Cowboys of college.

pianoknight Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I'd love to see LSU in yellow / purple / yellow and Clemson in orange / orange / white. Highly unlikely there would ever be an all-color national championship game, but I'd like to see it. 5th in NAT. TITLES | 2nd in CONF.

Yes, it has always been a black patch on the white jerseys and a white patch on the dark jerseys. That’s a bizarre change considering the old format provided the best contrast. I wonder if LSU was shipped the wrong patches or if being the “home team” but wearing white screwed things up. If I recall, Oregon was higher ranked in their game and they still got the right patches despite wearing white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 In addition to the wrong patch on LSU, this might also be the first CFP national championship without black end zones. Not sure how I feel about this. The black often clashed with team colors but plain end zones feels much too boring for the biggest stage. If they don’t want to do team colored end zones, I’d still take black over the grass colored ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they only have one field and just paint it and cleaning off a painted endzone would be too much work/money? Other stadiums have multiple turfs for college and pros and can swap out the endzones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayFinkle Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Oh wow. What a shame if the endzones are not painted black. Its not like the Saints are playing a home game anytime soon, so I would not think it would be so much work to throw down some black paint. Maybe the field crew is not done yet? Sure hope so.

MattMill Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 That’s their second big bowl in just weeks. They can afford other turf. They’re lazy/cheap and somehow the CFP people are caving in to NO. CFP was actually building a decent branding. But now they’re letting teams/stadiums dictate certain things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayFinkle Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 If they have the time, money, and resources to wash out the Saints wordmark, and then paint in the two different college teams wordmarks, and put the logos on the field, then they sure as hell can paint the endzones black!!!

crashcarson15 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 The black end zones are bad, and aesthetically, we’ve been fortunate enough to avoid a navy team playing for the national championship since their inception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shstpt1 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 It is very refreshing to not have a red team in the CFP finals for a change. I know Clemson has been in it for the past several years, but to not see Bama in the game is a nice change of pace. I noticed the white number patches for LSU the other day on twitter and thought that it looked strange. Definitely would be better with Black numbers I have never enjoyed watching a game in the Super Dome. Saints games or any college game that's played in there always feel dingy and the colors look awful. I wish they would upgrade their lighting or something. The fact that they don't paint their endzones makes it worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoknight Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Missed opportunity to have the endzones read "Tigers" and "Tigrauerauxs" or whatever. 5th in NAT. TITLES | 2nd in CONF.

Other stadiums have multiple turfs for college and pros and can swap out the endzones. Recently, the Saints and SMG, the Superdome's facility manager, split the cost for a new turf every summer for the last like four years. The only one I know of with multiple turfs is ATT&T Stadium but don't always switch them out as some UIL games are on the Cowboys field with the hash marks and Xs for the numbers chalked on.

CitizenTino Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I know New Orleans is a great host city, but the Superdome is my least favorite venue for watching big sporting events on TV. Just a dark, drab building, and never fully painting the end zones for anything other than the Super Bowl is annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
