OMAHA, Neb. -- LSU last won a national championship in 2009 while wearing gold for the the final games.
The color of choice this year will be purple.
LSU will wear purple for as long as the best-of-three College World Series finals series against Florida lasts. The first game is 6 p.m. Monday.
"The players are confident wearing purple," LSU coach Paul Mainieri said. "We get to choose as the home team in games one and three what color we want to wear so we told the NCAA we want to wear purple.
"Florida is the home team in game two and they chose to wear white so we'll wear purple as well.
