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

Louisiana has worn one helmet and two jerseys through four games, and the variety has all 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 Homecoming against Arkansas State on October 3. 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.

Four 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 and all white at Charlotte. No two games have matched yet.

November 28 at Georgia State. White expected. The regular season finale at Center Parc Stadium in Atlanta, kickoff time still to be set.

Will Louisiana Wear an Alternate in 2026?

Not yet. Four games in, Louisiana has stayed in red and white and has not shown an alternate jersey or helmet. The open dates for one are the themed home games: Homecoming against Arkansas State on October 3, Louisiana Salutes against South Alabama on November 7 and Senior Day against Coastal Carolina on November 21. The program has not announced anything for any 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: one red helmet with 337 on the bumper, a red jersey at home, a white jersey on the road and a pants color that keeps changing. Four games have produced four different combinations, and the all-red look against UAB was the strongest of them. The questions left are what the Ragin' Cajuns wear for Homecoming and Louisiana Salutes, 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.
