LSU to wear Nike Pro combat uniform vs. Auburn

LSU's uniform design will be unveiled in September 2011.

"Nike takes pride in giving athletes an advantage by providing them with cutting edge innovation. The Nike Pro Combat system of dress uniform delivers unparalleled on-field performance benefits while inspiring the team through each uniform's unique design," said Todd Van Horne, Nike's Creative Director for Football. "It is a privilege to collaborate with the coaches and student-athletes to develop a look that's truly distinctive to each university and their teams."

LSU is one of a handful of schools from across the country selected to sport the 2011 Nike Pro Combat system of dress uniforms for a game this season. Other schools include the United States Military Academy (Army), Boise State, Georgia, Michigan State, United States Naval Academy, Ohio State, Oregon, and Stanford.

While each school's uniform delivers the same superior lightweight performance and protection, each will tell a different story through its design. Nike worked closely with each university to bring relevant elements of the school's rich heritage into a distinguished, modern uniform design. The uniforms capture each team's unique character.

"We're excited to be one of a few schools selected by Nike to wear the Pro Combat uniform for a game in 2011," said head coach Les Miles of the LSU Tigers. "While we love the tradition and the historical significance behind the uniform we wear each week, our players also enjoy the opportunity to wear something different. We think the Nike Pro Combat uniform gives LSU a unique look while also outfitting our team in the latest innovation."
