Is the football team getting new style of uniforms for 2018?
Just curious if anyone has heard.

Yep. Our engineers and Adidas partnered and made us some special unis made with Vibranium to help beat Bama***

New coach, new uniforms. That's been the MSU way forever, will be interesting to see if that continues.
Obviously most other coaches have taken over rebuilding efforts, so maybe you don't shake things up this time.
-
I think we're keeping it the same or very similar. We don't have a blackout designated on the schedule so maybe no black uniforms this year.
-
Maybe we'll change the maroon to crimson and sport white helmets... with numbers on the side.
No matter what they do, it won't be as bad as Croom. Until Chilly Billy is designing our uniforms there will be room for improvement.

I wonder if they are still going to pregame warm up in shorts and helmets?

I think we finally got our uni’s right last year, including the black ones we wore against UMass and the military tribute uniforms we wore against Alabama. I read somewhere that Adidas has introduced a new template for several of their bigger schools with none of that stupid tire tread pattern, so hopefully that includes us. But in terms of the helmet, striping, and shade of maroon, I like our current look a whole lot, including the white and silver helmets.
It’s modern in that we have a few different variations, but in general it’s still a pretty classic look. If we do make changes I hope they are very minor.

I hope we can start a tradition with maroon jerseys, white pants at home and white on white on the road. Maroon helmets all the time. Cut out all the gimmick uniforms.

This isn't 1927 and we aren't Bama. Let the players enjoy it.

Good. Plus, Moorhead is from Penn State, not known for gimmicky uniforms. I hope that carries over to us.

All that sounds good. Regarding the shade of maroon ... supposedly our maroon is a single pantone (or whatever the word is) indicating one and only one shade of maroon. You'd never know it though seeing all the different colors that show up. I remember one of our games last year they looked purple.
Stick with classic uniforms ... there's no need for the team to look like a bunch of clowns on the field.

Add the white helmets and I'm onboard.

I guess you're right. Apparently most MS State fans don't care about tradition, and we're certainly not Alabama.

We have a losing tradition. I'm all for mixing it up.

And an interlocking MSU that is designed slightly different from the Nike version if they do indeed own it!

If we had our 19 (?) forfeits turned back to wins, we would be back over .500 overall. SEC record, not so close. Need a traditional interlocking MSU on a maroon helmet at least for a special game every once in a while and let Jackie be the honorary Captain. We have $. Work something out with Nike or tweak the design. Hail State!

Adidas is rolling out a new template this year so there will be some small changes as we move to that, but probably nothing big. Changes could be as small as moving the Adidas logo from underneath the collar to the left chest.
Like Todd said, there’s no blackout game scheduled, so it seems likely that we won’t wear black this year, which is excellent news. Would also be kinda surprised if silver helmets came back; haven’t seen them in any recruiting pictures or anything in a long time.
We’re more than likely going to wear maroon helmets for 9 or 10 games this year and white helmets for the other 2 or 3; probably still going to have white, maroon, and gray pants along with maroon and white jerseys. That is, barring any one-off alternates, which were frequent under Dan but may be less frequent under Moorhead- time will tell on that.

It really doesn't matter what uniforms we wear, as long as they're drenched in the other team's blood at the end of the game.**

If we even had an interlocking MSU logo for just the FCS game once a year and the M-State logo the other 11+ I would be extremely satisfied.
