Louisiana Uniform Schedule 2026: Every Jersey and When the Ragin' Cajuns Wear It

Louisiana has worn two helmets and two jerseys through six games, and most of the variety has come from the pants. This is the full Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns 2026 uniform schedule: the red home set, the white road jersey, the red helmet with 337 on the bumper, every game played so far and the expected look for the rest of the season, starting with Troy on October 17. We update this page as each combination is confirmed.

The Louisiana 2026 Uniform Sets

The uniforms are Adidas, and the set is about as clean as it gets in the Sun Belt: red and white, with LOUISIANA spelled out across the chest and the stripes kept to the sleeves and the pants. The detail that makes it local is on the helmet bumper. The 337 is the area code for Lafayette and the rest of Acadiana, a small nod to home that shows up every time a player turns to face the camera.

Six games into Michael Desormeaux's fifth season, the pattern is simple. Red jersey at Our Lady of Lourdes Stadium, white jersey on the road, and the pants change from week to week. Louisiana went red over white for the opener, white over red at USC, all red against UAB, all white at Charlotte, red over red under a white helmet for Homecoming against Arkansas State, and all white at Louisiana Tech. No two games have matched yet.

Will Louisiana Wear an Alternate in 2026?

Only the helmet so far. Louisiana wore the red helmet in its first four games, then switched to a white helmet with the red jersey and red pants for Homecoming against Arkansas State on October 3, and wore the white helmet again with the white jersey and white pants at Louisiana Tech on October 10. No alternate jersey has appeared. The open dates left for one are the themed home games: Louisiana Salutes against South Alabama on November 7 and Senior Day against Coastal Carolina on November 21. The program has not announced anything for either of them, and we will not put an alternate in the grid until it does.

The Bottom Line

Louisiana runs one of the cleanest closets in the Sun Belt: a red helmet with 337 on the bumper, a white helmet for Homecoming and the all-white look at Louisiana Tech, a red jersey at home, a white jersey on the road and a pants color that keeps changing. Six games have produced six different combinations, and the all-red look against UAB was the strongest of them. The questions left are what the Ragin' Cajuns wear for Louisiana Salutes and Senior Day, and whether anything beyond red and white comes out this season. The grid above has every date, and we add a star as each uniform is confirmed.
