Apparently the Intercollegiate Bureau of Academic Costume (IBAC) never assigned a hood lining to New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. A 1969 IBAC list stated that the seminary’s hood lining was purple with a gold chevron, but this description seems to have be sourced from a list compiled by Kevin Sheard in Academic Heraldry in America (1962).

To avoid confusion with the hood linings the Intercollegiate Bureau already assigned to Excelsior College (the Regents of the University of the State of New York) and to Northwestern University, New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary has been reassigned a hood lined purple with three gold chevrons.
