What qualifies?



We're looking for Cajun and Canadian tuxedoes. LSU tracksuits are easy to spot, you just want to make sure the trousers match the jacket. On second thought scratch that, I might actually want to see a mismatched tracksuit. I suppose any combination of purple and gold tracksuits will work and they can be made of velour, satin, vinyl, whatever. If you catch the Tigers in action you'll have plenty to choose from as evidenced from the above photo that was swiped from Friends of the Program. I know it's difficult to ignore the woman dressed as a tiger but the fella on the left blends in well in Baton Rouge and that's exactly what we're looking for.

EDIT: You can click on the picture to enlarge it and spot a second tracksuit in the background by the stop sign. Stereotypes don't invent themselves.

Not me.

Canadian tuxedoes are just as easy to spot but they're a tad more complicated. The classic look is a pair of jeans with a jean jacket, usually with a plaid button-up shirt. But you also have the long-sleeve denim shirt sans jacket, the ever rare short-sleeve denim shirt with jeans, and the unicorn of denim on denim crime: short sleeve denim shirt with matching jorts. I've never seen this and I live in Florida, a veritable stronghold of the jort wearing demographic also known as Florida Gator fans. Extra points will be offered for the full-on evening wear Canadian tux consisting of a denim shirt, pants, AND jacket combo. Not that we're keeping score or anything.
